Novotel Brussels City Centre

8/10 Good
"Nice clean hotel a short walk from the centre of the old town. Close proximity to shopping and dining options. Friendly staff very willing to help. Very limited food options within the hotel, particularly if you arrive late. Only breakfast is served and the Bar has some minimal food service, supposedly till 11 or midnight. When we were there the chef had left by 10 and we were directed to go a couple of blocks away to a pedestrian area with some options there. Would probably stay there again but would now know what to expect."

Warwick Brussels Grand-Place

Warwick Brussels Grand-Place

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the stay, the rooms were nice and clean, the staff was great, and the roof top bar was a nice find for great views of the city. The hotel is a very short walk from the Central station and right behind Grand Place making it super convenient. The food & beer choices at their restaurant could have been better given the options around but not too bad either. All in all loved the hotel and would go back if in that area."
