ibis Brussels off Grand Place

ibis Brussels off Grand Place

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is very central and it is a budget hotel but it’s quality at a budget rate. I thought the breakfast was excellent and the fact that it includes fresh orange juice and you can make your own pancakes added to a really nice experience. Everything is next door to the hotel it is a five minute walk to the central Square. The staff was super helpful and very accommodating, probably some of the best stuff I have had to engage with on a trip. I had a lovely day at the ibis. The only points I would know is that the rooms were quite warm and it was difficult to keep windows open as it is central so it is noisy. The Aircon really needs to be a bit more powerful. I also felt the Floors needed a good hoover."
