  • Hiya Lauranurse, maybe too open a question as you need to indicate your budget and any specific facilities to get the answer you need. But to start you off I stayed at the marriott in Brussels great hotel and price bought on ebay (they are always on there) there's a few on there at the moment just search Marriott Brussels, we paid about £70 for 2 nights B&B great value for this level hotel. Hope it helps

    I am looking for a triple room for 3 adults. In the centre of Brussels. Budget about £60-150 for a night. We would ideally like to stay somewhere that includes breakfast.

    Looking for anything above a 3* hotel. Otherwise not fussy what facilities the hotel has.

    I'd recommend doing a search on venere.com - really helpful website with lots of good maps/reviews, and reasonable prices too (which you also don't have to pay in advance)
    PM me if you want a 4% discount code.

    I think it's a good idea to check out this website even if you find hotels cheaper elsewhere, as the descriptions and maps are generally better than other sites in my opinion.

    Hope that helps

    PS - I'm not connected to this website in any way, and I don't gain anything from this post. I also found the discount code on another forum.

    Hi, I'd also like some recommendations please as I've just bagged a penny flight on Ryanair for December :D

    I'm looking for a double/twin room in central Brussels (within walking distance of the sights) preferably with breakfast and an evening bar. Prefer smaller hotels if possible or even a licensed B&B if they have them over there. Don't want to pay more than £120 per night for 2 people.

    Cheers :beer:

    Has anyone ever stayed at the Hotel Van Belle before?

    It's irrelevant to the question, but if you go, as most people do, to see the "Mannikinpis" statue, it's worth noting that there is also a girl version. Not sure if I could find it again, but its not far from the male version, down a little blind alley. We stayed economically at the Hotel Leopold, but that was a self-drive deal. Might be worth a try, food was good, and beer, of course... Double deck tour buses are worth the fare, hop on, hop off. Recommended.

    I stayed here too as part of a deal with eurostar, very good hotel, very impressed with it. Not too impressed with the beer prices in Brussels tho.

    have a look on tripadviser
  • It's an OK hotel, but the area can be dodgy as I found to my cost when I stayed there in late March/Early April. Had my handbag stolen, all docs including passport and return Eurostar tickets were in it. We were going to the US approx 4 weeks later so it cost us almost £200 to replace passports. When we went through control at Brussels station we were told that we were at least the 2nd couple that weekend in the same position.

    Hope this helps make your mind up.
