Novotel Brussels off Grand'Place

Novotel Brussels off Grand'Place

10/10 Excellent
"We would definitely consider staying here if we visit Brussels again. Pros: The hotel was pretty quiet even though the it was really close to restaurants and Grand Place. We were able to check in early at no extra charge as long as we were Accor members (joined it on the spot). The room was big enough to not feel crowded with three people. The separate toilet made it easier for everyone to get ready in the morning for an early morning train ride to our next destination. The air conditioning was nice to have after walking around on a hot summer day as was the chilled water refill station on our floor. The sofa bed was surprisingly comfortable. Taxis were right outside the lobby door. Cons: The hair dryer was old, loud, and not hot enough. It took me twice as long to dry and style my hair. The mini fridge didn’t keep our drinks cold even after we set it to the coldest temperature. I would say they were cool, but not cold. The outside of the refrigerator became really hot so we kept the refrigerator cabinet door open so that the fridge wouldn’t have to work overtime to keep things cool. The usb ports near the bed didn’t work, but we had electrical adapters so we were able to charge our phones and external batteries."
