Le Louise Hotel Brussels - MGallery
Hotel was in perfect location with high-end shopping all around it and also regular shopping just down the street. Amazing top restaurants just around the corner and this hotel is in great location to get to places you want to explore within the city. Staff was very friendly, hotel room was large ...

B&B HOTEL Brussels Centre Louise
This hotel was in a pretty good location but the hotel itself was super cute and chic, very well maintained and the staff were exceptionally helpful!!! Free coffee was a bonus but as a tourist we were trying to figure things out and make plans and the staff were exceptional! Highly recommend!

Hotel Barsey by Warwick
The hotel was beautiful but neither Hotels.com or the hotel bothered to give advanced notice of construction going on. Very hard to understand why they would put any one directly under construction. So yeah the hotel was nice, but a really crappy experience waking up to literally jack hammering!
