Traveller Reviews on Brussels

Royal Windsor Hotel

1 of 5 stars
Zurich
4 Jan 2009

Recently I stayed at the Royal Windsor hotel. The overall experience was very poor, and not at all up to the standards you would expect from a hotel that is part of the Leading Hotels of the World. Some facts: * The bed was old and uncomfortable. Like one of those old french 2 star hotels in the country side... more

Centrale Hotel

3 of 5 stars
Dublin, Ireland
4 Jan 2009

I was a bit worried about this hotel after reading some reviews here. Perhaps that's why I was satisfied with it. 60e for a double room (I believe it was a special offer for Christmas) with character; this is not a design hotel, but an accommodation that tries to bring back the glory of old style hotels. Something that it... more

Euro Capital Hotel Brussels

4 Jan 2009

This hotel is conveniently located close to Midi station and has spacious and accessible rooms. more

Aparthotel Brussels Midi

4 Jan 2009

This aparthotel is great if you need to be close to the Midi Station and are in Brussels for a few days. The rooms are spacious, well furnished and equipped and would make your stay in Brussels a homely experience. more

NH Atlanta

2 of 5 stars
The Hague
4 Jan 2009

We arrived on new years eve. t was my 6th stay in this hotel. The person at the desk seemed very inexperienced and uninterested. It took me 5 minutes in 2 languages to explain that I could not cary 5 luggage items to the room myself. In the end I got a trolley. The doorman who normally helps you with... more

Royal Windsor Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Los Angeles, California
4 Jan 2009

The Royal Windsor Hotel has enjoys an excellent location, and the service level is very high without being overbearing or ostentatious. The public areas and rooms are beautifully-decorated, and the guest room in which I stayed was very quiet, perhaps because it did not face the street. Everything, including the bathroom, exudes gracious beauty and comfort. “Quietly gracious and comfortable”... more

Euroflat Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
3 Jan 2009

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel in April of 2008. It's a nice little hotel, and I would recommend it for those that don't mind using the subway system in Brussels if they want to be away from a lot of the noise. The decor of the hotel is a little outdated, but in a way that adds... more

Ibis Brussels off Grand Place

4 of 5 stars
Kent via Wellington New Zealand
3 Jan 2009

Standard Ibis hotel, no frills but fantastic location - 30 second walk to Central Station and Grand Place. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, fritteries etc in this part of Old Town Brussels. Getting there was not so straight forward as understanding the Brussels metro/tram/train system was a problem - once sorted it's less then a 10 minute metro ride... more

La Taverne du Passage

5 of 5 stars
Brussels
3 Jan 2009

The croquettes de fromage are the best I've tasted in Brussels so far - crisp with fragrant cheese oozing out (so not too much mash in it) when you cut it and very nice seasoned fried parsley. I took the steak Pere-Quentin - the meat was excellent and very well cooked. Incredibly tender in the mouth. Better than the steak... more

Novotel Brussels Grand Place

4 of 5 stars
Hampshire
3 Jan 2009

TIP FOR EUROSTAR TRAVELLERS: The hotel is very near the Central Station (Gare Centrale) but Eurostar arrives at Gare du Midi. The easiest way to get from Midi to Centrale with luggage is NOT to use the Metro or trams, but get on a main line train: many of them stop at both stations as they pass through the capital.... more

Pizza Pronto

4 of 5 stars
Newport, United Kingdom
2 Jan 2009

A small no frills pizza restaurant situated just 2 minutes from the Grand Place. I went in the winter and it was permanently busy which I took as a good sign. Good range of fresh toppings, cooked in front of your eyes, delivered within 5 minutes and it tasted great! Put simply if you want a nice pizza in a... more

Manneken Pis

4 of 5 stars
Newport, United Kingdom
2 Jan 2009

Anyone going to Brussels should take the time to pay homage to the famous Manneken Pis, this tiny statue of a boy urinating may not have the stature of the Michelangelo’s David, the Brandenburg Gate or the Eifel Tower but it’s up there on the list of Euro must do's for many people. It's great fun to join the throngs... more

Scandic Hotel Grand Place

2 Jan 2009

Booked with Expedia around 6 weeks ago. Decided on a last minute getaway for New Year that was 'cheap' and location irrelevant! Brussels popped up (it's not on my list of places to visit!). We had good daytime returns flights from Heathrow (on our doorstep), and B&B for 2 nights at a total cost of £244! We arrived 30th December... more

Ibis Brussels Centre Gare Midi

2 Jan 2009

We had to stayed there for 1 night and lived very bad experiment. When we arrived this hotel, it was over 2 am and they required 145 EUR for only 5 hours eventhough 117 EUR was on the promotion sign on front side of the the hotel. Other hand, no soap, shompoo or towels at the room. I quess, it... more

Sheraton Brussels Hotel

5 of 5 stars
London, United Kingdom
2 Jan 2009

My husband booked a three night stay at the Sheraton for our wedding anniversary last May through Eurostar and we were really impressed. Booking through Eurostar meant we got a much better deal than booking direct and our room (which was huge!) even came with access to a special lounge with complimentary newspapers, internet access, tea, coffee, wine, beer and... more

Metropole Hotel

2 Jan 2009

I booked the Metropole with a Eurostar package for 3 nights at the end of December 2008 for myself and a girlfriend. I had read the reviews before going and was anxious about some of the negativity on this board. Being quite fussy myself and noise sensitive I was really hoping I wouldn't be given a shabby, noisy room as... more

Martin's Central Park

4 of 5 stars
Faversham, United Kingdom
2 Jan 2009

I booked the 4* St Martins Cenral Park hotel in Brussels as it was provided as a 'secret hotel' by an online booking company. The hotel was located close to the European Commission (1 minute walk) and similarly close to the metro station (line 1a/ab). There is a direct train to the central station which takes a little over 10... more

Atomium

5 of 5 stars
Newport, United Kingdom
1 Jan 2009

Really surprised by some of the negative comments about Atomium on Trip Advisor. I found it a genuinely unique experience and one of the best things I did in Brussels. I got a taxi to Heysal Park; it took around 15 minutes from central Brussels. Despite having seen loads of photos, seeing the Atomium loom into view takes your breath... more

Brewery Museum

3 of 5 stars
Newport, United Kingdom
1 Jan 2009

Okay this isn't the largest or most interesting museum in Brussels, It's likely to be of most appeal to those with a real interest in brewing rather than your general tourist spending time in the Grand Place. However when I was visiting there was family of 5, ages 10 -45 who sat through the entire film on brewing with rapt... more

Brussels Marriott Hotel

1 Jan 2009

We stayed at the Marriott for 3 days over new year and had an amazing time. The service we received was excetional, hotel was clean and in a fabulous location. The bed as others have said was so comfortable! Staff were friendly and helpful. I'd recommend this hotel to anybody wanting to explore Brussels. more
