Pullman Brussels Centre Midi
The room was clean and comfortable, staff at reception were friendly. Casting via the tv doesn’t work though. There are also no teaspoons at the coffee station.

Cardo Brussels, Autograph Collection
Nice stay. The tech seems a bit over the top with a panel for everything. Mirrors are a bit OTT decor wire and might get a bit dated, but overall a nice place. Recommend.
