Eurostars Montgomery
Staying at Eurostars Montgomery in Brussels was an absolute delight! The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and attentive service—always smiling, helpful, and ready to assist with anything. Breakfast was outstanding: a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options including delicious local pastries and savory meats. It felt like a true treat every morning. The location is perfect too—just a short metro ride from the city center, making it easy to explore all that Brussels has to offer. Excellent value for money and a memorable stay overall.

Radisson Red Hotel, Brussels
Staying at Radisson Red Hotel in Brussels was a fantastic experience overall. The hotel is perfectly located just steps away from the EU headquarters, making it incredibly convenient for business travelers or anyone interested in exploring the heart of Brussels. The room itself was modern, spacious, and well-designed with a comfortable bed that made for a great night's sleep. I especially appreciated the fitness center and steam room—ideal for unwinding after a long day of meetings or sightseeing. The only minor issue was the shower water temperature, which occasionally ran too hot and had strong flow, but having a bathtub as an alternative was a nice backup. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value, stylish design, and a vibrant atmosphere that captures the energy of the city. Highly recommend for both business and leisure travelers looking for a modern, central stay in Brussels.

This stay at Hotel Manos Premier was an absolute delight! The hotel is beautifully designed with elegant rooms and a stunning dining area that truly elevates the experience. Everything was spotless, and its central location made exploring Brussels effortless—just a short walk or quick metro ride to all major attractions. The spa was nothing short of magical, offering a serene retreat that felt like stepping into a storybook oasis. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and value. The price-to-quality ratio is outstanding—this place deserves every bit of praise. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Brussels.
Novotel Brussels City Centre
Staying at Novotel Brussels City Centre was a perfect choice for our family trip. The family rooms are spacious and comfortable, making it easy to relax with the whole crew. The staff were incredibly friendly—especially when they handed out little gifts to our kids, which made the experience extra special. There’s a small but well-maintained pool ideal for younger children, plus a good-sized gym and steam room for those who want to unwind. Breakfast was solid, offering a balanced mix of local and international options. I noticed that booking through the platform gave us a better rate than other sites, and even the hotel team mentioned it—they confirmed it was one of the best deals available. Overall, great value, excellent service, and a memorable stay.
Aspria Royal la Rasante Hotel & Spa
Staying at Aspria Royal la Rasante Hotel & Spa was an absolutely flawless experience from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service—every interaction felt genuine and personal. I was especially impressed by the restaurant’s culinary quality; the food exceeded all expectations, and the waiter on Monday night truly stood out with his professionalism and charm. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, making it perfect for both business trips and romantic getaways. Everything—from the room comfort to the spa facilities—was top-notch. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a memorable stay that delivers on every promise. Highly recommend this gem in Brussels for anyone seeking luxury and exceptional service.
B&B Druum
Staying at B&B Druum was a delightful experience from start to finish. This charming, small-scale property feels like a hidden gem tucked away on a quiet side street in Brussels—peaceful yet just a short walk from the grand Grand Place. The staff were incredibly warm and helpful, going out of their way to make us feel welcome. Our room was spacious and uniquely decorated, with a generous bathroom that had an open-concept layout—great for light and space, though it might not suit those seeking full privacy. No elevator is available, but the team kindly carried our luggage up without hesitation. Breakfast was a highlight—a relaxed, communal affair served around a table where you can chat with fellow guests, adding a personal touch to the stay. Despite its size, the property has a lot of character and charm. I’d absolutely recommend this place and would happily return.
a&o Brussel Centrum
This place totally exceeded my expectations! The room was surprisingly spacious for the price—much bigger than what I’ve seen in similar budget hotels in Paris. It’s spotless and feels more like a 5-star stay than a hostel. On the ground floor, there’s a cozy bar and a table tennis area—perfect for unwinding after a long day. Location-wise, it’s unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to Brussels North Station, making travel into the city or beyond super convenient. The street outside is clean and quiet, with few people around—really peaceful. You can easily reach Grand Place and Manneken Pis in about 15–20 minutes on foot. Great value, excellent vibe, and ideal for travelers who want comfort without breaking the bank. Definitely recommend!
Game of Rooms
I stayed here for one night, and overall it was just average—definitely not worth more than a 1-2 night visit. The main plus is the price, which feels reasonable for Brussels, and the location is convenient: only a 15 to 20-minute walk from the Grand Place, making it easy to explore on foot. However, there were several drawbacks. Upon arrival, we waited about 15 minutes at reception before someone showed up—had to call to get attention. The bathroom is separated from the bedroom by just a thin plastic partition, which offers little privacy. Also, no hand soap was provided, and despite checking in as two guests, we were given only one set of towels—very inconvenient. Another issue is the noise: the hotel sits in a very busy area, so street sounds and traffic continued late into the night, making it hard to sleep peacefully. If you're looking for a quick, budget-friendly stopover with minimal expectations, this might work. But if comfort, quiet, and good service matter to you, you’ll likely be disappointed.
Best Hotel
My husband and I stayed at the hotel for one night on March 17th, 2025, and had a very positive experience overall. The check-in process was smooth, and we were greeted by a friendly young male front desk staff member and the current owner, both of whom were attentive and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable, with enough space for our needs—nothing fancy, but perfectly functional. While there are a few areas of the property that could use some attention, it didn’t take away from our enjoyment. The location is excellent—just a five-minute walk to Grand Place, with plenty of restaurants and cafes along the way, making dining out super convenient. The hotel is currently undergoing a gradual renovation, which explains some minor imperfections, but it’s clear they’re investing in improving the guest experience. I’d definitely stay here again without hesitation, especially given the great value and central spot.
Villa Sablon
The location is excellent—very convenient for public transit and close to everything we wanted to explore. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. From the moment we arrived, things went downhill. We couldn’t get into our room because it was locked with no staff available at the front desk. After multiple attempts to reach someone by phone (despite their email saying 'call us anytime'), we were only able to communicate via WhatsApp. When we finally got a response, we were told to use another room instead—though that one wasn’t even ready. The room we were supposed to stay in hadn’t been cleaned at all when we arrived at 8 PM; there were still dirty linens and towels left behind from a previous guest. We had to wait until 10:30 PM before housekeeping showed up. We reached out several times via text asking for a partial refund, but received no reply. It felt like our concerns were completely ignored. While the location is a strong point, the lack of on-site support, poor communication, and unprofessional handling made this experience extremely frustrating. I wouldn’t recommend staying here and would not return.
Apart Hotel Brussels Midi
Staying at Apart Hotel Brussels Midi was a mixed experience, but overall it worked well for our short trip. The check-in was smooth and staff spoke English clearly—no issues there. The apartment came with a full kitchen including a microwave, standard-sized oven, and a washing machine—great for self-catering. However, no detergent was provided, which was surprising since we’d been traveling across Europe for two months and laundry access was a must. Still, the cooking facilities were more than sufficient for a quick breakfast or light meal. The room itself—Room 2, the Sydney Room on the second floor—was bright and cheerful with its fuchsia pink walls, spacious at 50 sqm, and had a small but functional elevator, which was essential with our large suitcases. It’s just a 5–10 minute walk to Brussels Midi Train Station, but the route isn’t ideal—uneven pavement, tram tracks, deep gutters, lots of people loitering around, and general litter made pushing luggage tough. Walking into the city center takes about 15–25 minutes, which is manageable if you’re not in a rush. That said, it’s a decent base for day trips to Bruges, Ghent, Luxembourg, or Amsterdam via train. Hot water temperature and pressure were excellent, lighting was bright and well-placed, and the towels were fresh and replaced once during our five-night stay. A convenient corner store is just 150 meters away, and a Lidl is about 1.2 km—both easy to reach. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable in the room. Overall, the value felt reasonable after considering all factors. On the downside, the area around the hotel has a slightly run-down feel, and I wouldn’t recommend walking around late at night. There are quite a few people experiencing hardship hanging near the station—common near major train hubs in Europe, but still noticeable. Dining options nearby are limited, especially Western-style evening meals. However, the Pullman Hotel’s restaurant and its ground-floor bar are solid choices, as is La Ruche Halal Restaurant—though it gets packed quickly, so arrive early or book ahead. The subway construction project between the station and the hotel seems to be dragging on forever—no clear end date in sight. Noise pollution from locals and car horns was constant, especially if you opened a window. Unfortunately, the ceiling fan didn’t work, and the bathroom towel rail heater wasn’t functioning in mid-March. The advertised queen bed was actually a standard double—slightly misleading. While there’s a coffee pod machine with five pods included, the sign says each pod costs €0.50. Was this a mistake? Were those five free, or will future pods cost extra? It raises questions about transparency. No large drinking mugs were provided, and there’s no in-room safe. Early luggage drop-off isn’t available either—check-in starts at 3 PM. Lastly, hand soap, instant coffee, and tea bags were very low and never replenished during our stay. All in all, this place works best for travelers focused on transit convenience and budget-friendly stays. If you prioritize quiet, privacy, or premium amenities, you might want to look elsewhere.
Hotel Orts
I've been visiting Brussels regularly for years, and while there are several solid hotels in the city, Hotel Orts stands out as truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond—friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. The room was spotless, spacious, and well-designed with modern touches that made it feel like home. Free Wi-Fi was a welcome bonus, offering fast and reliable connectivity throughout my stay. The dining experience was outstanding—the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I wish I’d discovered this gem sooner. It’s now my top choice whenever I’m in Brussels, and I won’t even consider staying anywhere else. If you’re looking for a memorable, high-quality hotel in the heart of the city, Hotel Orts is absolutely the one to book.
