Top hotels in Vaartkom
Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie
Decent hotel at a good location ( Stephanie Tram stop is 2mins and Louiza Metro stop is 5 mins walk) - the decor of the hotel looks tired.

Pullman Brussels Centre Midi
The most ideal location for Brussels -especially for families and if you are traveling to other cities in Belgium or Netherlands as Brussels Midi station is the main hub for transportation. Highly recommend this place.
