Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel
False fire alarm in middle of the night. Poor emergency management. Noisy building work starting @ 07:00 in the morning. Never again

B&B HOTEL Brussels Airport
The staff were wonderful and kind. The room was clean, simple but well kept, and it was a really affordable option. Right next to a train station which you can use to get into Brussels central. The buffet breakfast was lovely and got us fuelled up each morning. Would definitely stay here again!

Citybox Antwerp City Center
Great no frills hotel. Very central. Clean big functional room with comfortable bed. Only issue was luggage storage which did not feel particularly secure - check in machine gives you key to luggage room where you can leave your bags, but it is entirely unmonitored. Otherwise highly recommended.
