A great base for exploring Brussels

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 ...

5 star luxury for 3 star price

Advantages: luxurious, great value, top service,
Disadvantages: a little far out from the main square

Renaissance hotel Rue du Parnasse 19 Brussels, 1050 Belgium This 5 star Renaissance hotel was outstanding value for money! Location The renaissance hotel is located in the European quarter of the city. This is fairly quiet on weekends with the European parliament and surrounding offices being closed. Good if you want peace and quiet but definitely not in the heart of the action. It was about 200m away from Luxemborg Square which contains several ...
...8 Euros to the grand place). We stopped off here for a drink on one of the nights and there was little or no excitement so swiftly made our way to the lively Saint Gery (right near the Grand place where all the good bars and restaurants are) The Grand place which is the main Square of the city and close to many of the attractions, bars, restaurants and shopping is only about 20 minutes walk away (Girls beware: do not attempt to walk this in heels ...

...for 3 nights at this hotel Thursday Friday and Saturday as a treat for my husbands Birthday, I phoned on the Monday before our travel, and asked if there was anything special that they could recommend to make our stay extra special as it was my husbands birthday, they suggested that I could have flowers, fruits, chocolates and champagne waiting in our room for our arrival, and all they needed in advance was an email stating our expected date and ...

A Classic Case of Trying TOO Hard

Advantages: I slept well
Disadvantages: Too much style and nothing like enough substance at this price

...like. The hotel was the Vintage Hotel and it was less than a mile away. She would have paid for a taxi to take me there but my colleague was happy to take me and by doing so, he would be sure to know where the hotel was when he came to collect me in the morning. We struggled a bit with the one way system and it took about 15 minutes before we finally found the hotel. Concerned that I might be about to suffer another 'no room at the inn' incident, ...
...have anti matter, then the Vintage Hotel was the 'Anti-hotel' of the White Hotel. The Vintage is obsessed with the design of a period from around 1950 to late 1970s. That at least is my guess because the theme really wasn't strong enough to tie it down to a narrower range. When my mother first met my stepfather in the 1970s he had psychedelic vinyl wall paper of such horrific impact that I suspect she almost turned on her heel and grabbed her coat. ...

Good location, but slightly tired fittings

Advantages: Excellent location (only 5 minutes walk from the Grand Place), free wireless internet access
Disadvantages: Fittings seemed well-used, rooms dark

...spent three nights at the Scandic Grand Place, as we had arranged a block booking for the conference I was organising in Brussels and the Scandic Grand Place was the more moderately priced hotel in which we had got a discounted rate, although I ended up booking through hotelclub.net as it was another EUR 25 a night cheaper, so I was paying EUR 110 per night including breakfast. I was able to check in early - arriving at just before 11am on the Saturday ...
...usually check-in is from 2pm. My room was quite small, with the fittings somewhat on the basic side - we'd been told that the hotel was 4* although I would place it as a 3* - in particular since there was no gym available (currently being renovated). The fittings were somewhat basic - and there was no safe in the room, which is something that I tend to take for granted at a hotel of this class. There was also no ironing board or trouser press, although ...
