Warwick Grand-Place Brussels
Great location. The shower in the room was a bit small, but that might just be the "American" in me... There was also a lack of outlets in the room. Very minor things, I would stay here again. Clean, safe, vibrant!

First Euroflat Hotel
Nice spacious room with kitchenette, dinner corner and balcony with a view on a garden. Very calm despite that you are in the center of Brussels. Staff was friendly and helpful. Can warmly recommend and we will come back when staying in Brussels.

Le Châtelain
The staff were very kind and I was actually able to check in an hour early as my room was ready. The breakfast was very nice and beds very comfortable. The WiFi was reliable and easy to access. On my last night there was a noise issue in a nearby room and they kindly (and very quickly) moved me away ...
