This hotel in Brussels is situated about a five minute walk from the Grande Place where most of the restaurants, bars and souvenir shops are situated for tourists. The metro is just outside the door which means that you don't have to stay around the tourist area.Where the hotel is there are seven or eight restaurants - most of them selling seafood of some description - and of course ' moules et frites'. The hotel itself is part of a chain with hotels in France and London and other European cities. I went with a college group as part of a trip to the European Parliament Buildings and NATO so we had a reduced group booking which was very reasonable. The room I shared had a double bed in one room, and a sofa bed which converted into two beds in the sitting room. The rooms were fully equipped with television, kitchen area, sheets, phone, hairdryer and a very powerful shower. The rooms are clean and quite stylish and there are smaller rooms without the sitting room if required. Everything about the hotel is clean, stylish and comfortable and there are lots of tourist information and maps in the lobby. Breakfst is a Continental Buffet which is very good and sets you up well for the day. Overall the hotel is perfect for someone visiting Brussels for any length of stay who wants to be central, not pay too much but not skimp on comfort.
