Astrid Centre Hotel, Brussels

Advantages: Beautiful hotel and great value
Disadvantages: Not too near the city centre

...which was brilliant value and included continental breakfast for two people as well. These rooms can be as much as 300 Euros per night at other times of the year. (Here you pay for the room and not the number of people in it, ie same price for 2 adults, as for 2 adults and 2 children). If you shop around on the Marriott website and are flexible as to travel dates you can pick up some brilliant deals! Location, location, location: The location of this hotel is, I think, it's main problem in that it is not really very centrally located in the heart of Brussels. As I found out whilst there, the Marriott Brussels Hotel is much more centrally located (I will probably stay there if I go again!) To get into the centre of the city it really was a bus ride or very long walk (the reception advised us that it was about a 3km walk which... Read review

Advantages: Decent hotel, great price on Expedia
Disadvantages: Will you be able to get the same deal?

...INTRODUCTION Brussels is a handy place to meet if you're in the South Netherlands and your girlfriend is in London. Thanks to Eurostar and Dutch rails, we can both make it there in a couple of hours.

Advantages: Friendly staff, unique decor, good location
Disadvantages: A touch expensive for what it is

...I have stayed it the Welcome many times in the past 18 months when in Brussels on business. It is located in the St Catherine district close to the metro and also to many good seafood restaurants. Other good eating places are to be found within 5 minutes walk including Thai and Vietnamese restaurants that line one particular street. The Grande Place is itself within 10 minutes walk. The hotel is a cosy and friendly place where the 15 rooms are named not in a numerical fashion but after different countries or geographical regions (or in the case of the Silk Road journeys). All rooms are decorated according to their name, many quite delightfully. I have stayed in probably half of the rooms at the Welcome; my favourites include Tibet which has its own little terrace (it being a superior room) and the Silk Road which is the most... Read review
