Pillows City Hotel Brussels Centre
"Great property, very close to everything we wanted to see and do in Brussels. We arrived by Train to Brussels Central train station, it was a very short walk to the hotel. The hotel is literally next door to St Michaels Cathedral and a short walk to Grand Place and other typical tourist spots. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place to stay and highly recommend."
B&B HOTEL Brussels Airport
"This is a new hotel, less than a year old. Rooms were clean and nice. The hotel is nice. The shower handles are hard to figure out. It took awhile to get the heat set the right way for a comfortable shower. Just a note not good or bad but it just is. It's 20 a night to park a car and 16 to 18 for breakfast."
Motel One Brussels
"The staff are friendly and helpful. Good selection at breakfast. The location is also very convenient. The room is a bit small but big enough. Air condition is good for the heatwave. It would be good to have a peep hole on the door but it is not a deal breaker."
