Top Brussels Hotel Reviews

Motel One Brussels

10/10 Excellent

"We really liked this hotel. Our room was clean, quiet, and ready early, which was a bonus as it was a very hot day and we had walked from the rail station. There is a lovely enclosed garden space to enjoy a drink, and the downstairs bar area is nice too. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel as there are plenty of cafes and restaurants in the area. We would book again!"

The Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The representative who checked us in was professional and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Lighting was available in all areas needed such as room entry, and bedside. The light switches were well labeled and easy to operate. When housekeeping staff was contacted, they were helpful and adhered to the time frame they provided. And then the view....spectacular."

Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie

10/10 Excellent

"Incredibly Spacious Family Rooms: The room size was a standout feature—exceptionally large, comfortable, and well-designed with plenty of room for everyone to unpack, relax, and move around without feeling cramped. Prime, Upscale Setting: The hotel is situated in the stylish, vibrant Louise/Stéphanie district. The neighborhood feels upscale, safe, and pleasant to stroll around, with great boutiques, cafes, and dining options right on the doorstep. Effortless Connectivity: Getting around Brussels from here is seamless. With nearby tram and metro stops just a short walk away, reaching the historic center, Brussels-Midi station, and major attractions was quick and straightforward. A great choice for anyone seeking comfort, extra space, and convenience in a premier Brussels neighborhood. Highly recommended for families."
