Brussels Hotels

Advantages: Location, staff, cleanliness, comfort
Disadvantages: Bar, a sorry excuse for one!

...5 night stay in the Queen Anne Hotel, Brussels and am finding it difficult to find fault with the establishment. I booked this break with three other friends and we shared a family room between us, one double (king size!) and two singles. Now as I had heard from reviews elsewhere on the internet that this hotel was a former hostel I wasn't expecting much but I found I was pleasantly surprised. A bright, clean and extremely comfortable room awaited ...
...All in all the Queen Anne offers the standard, not the spectacular in hotel accomodation but this is reflected in the price. If I were to return to Brussels again, whether with friends or with a partner, I would definitely return to here - a comfortable, affordable and relaxing hotel. PS There are luggage storage facilities here, safety deposit boxes and agreeable checkin/out times as well as them accepting all major cards from what we could ascertain. ... Read review

Advantages: Close to city centre, train
Disadvantages: Seedy part of town, dirty, unfriendly

...wife and I headed to Hotel Vendome for what appeared on Expedia as a well kept and reasonable hotel. It took us about 8 minutes walk from the main train station to get to Vendome, and we were greeted by two abrupt and unfriendly staff at the counter. They had to check three times only to realise we had a reservation, then gave us our keys. We asked for a map of the surrounding area and got one as small as a tubemap which did not help us whatsoever. ...
...On a brighter note, the hotel did provide a decent breakfast of bacon, eggs, bread, cheese, jams, bagels and an assortment of teas, coffees and juices which was included in the cost. This however could not make up for the night at the sweatbox, so we gathered our belongings and made our way to a nearby hotel... WITH A/C! ... Read review

Advantages: Great location, comfortable rooms, excellent food
Disadvantages: Expensive if not arranged as part of a package

I recently spent a weekend at this hotel on a budget break I'd arranged through lastminute.com. I must say I was incredibly impressed by the standard of the hotel for something that I had paid so little for. The location is perfect. The hotel is situated on Place de Grande Sablon - home of the famous Sablon antique market at the weekends. The architecture of the surrounding area makes this an Art Nouveau lover's paradise. Bars and restaurants are ...
...galleries are less than a five minute walk away and the Grande Place is not much further. The marbled entrance lobby to the hotel is flanked by opulent antique shops that convey a sense of grandeur as you enter the building. Reception staff were very helpful. Our room was spacious and tastefully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and the tv showed stations from all across Europe (including BBC1 and BBC2). I was very impressed with the spacious ...

Advantages: Excellent location, remarkable value for money
Disadvantages: May have to book in advance to get a good deal

...one night at the Best Western Premier Carrefour De L'Europe in October 2005. I got a really good price of 80 euros a room for 2 people including breakfast - particularly cheap when you consider it is Brussels. The hotel is ideally situated on the Grand Place - my room overlooked this - which is the main square in Brussels. It is also just around the corner from Central Station which has frequent links to the airport. The room was huge - a large ... 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. My girlfriend managed to get a great deal on a hotel thanks to Expedia, and so here is a review of that hotel, which in my opinion is well worthy of consideration. Seems like the name has slighly changed since this was added to Ciao in 2006, to ...
...right place! THE LOCATION Hotel Eurostars Sablon is located opposite the Museum of Ancient and Modern Art in the city centre, 500 metres from the Royal Palace. This makes it a very handy location for the tourist areas. We found it a five minute walk to the Central train station, and a ten minute walk to the main tourist area of Grand Place. Even better was the fact that near to the hotel were several excellent restaurant with reasonable prices. ... Read review
