The Best Hotel in Brussels, Belgium

Background Illustration for Hotels

As the home of the European Union, Brussels is a city heavily reliant on business travelers. They pack the hotel rooms and flood the bars during the week, but then head home at the weekend. This is a problem for many large-capacity hotels but a draw for tourists, who benefit from a wealth of choice and lower weekend rates. Obviously, the situation is reversed in more tourism-reliant destinations, such as Bruges and Ghent, so try and plan your trip accordingly.

$ | Rue Royale 120, Brussels, 1000, Belgium Fodor's Choice

There aren't too many options for stays in this thin sliver of the city, between Mont des Arts and the Sablon, particularly toward Cirque Royale, but this stylish offering is the exception, and a good one given it's a low-budget chain. It's certainly in a different league to the average Ibis. And for little more than €100 a night, you get a central, stylish stay in a lively area. Rooms are comfortable and simple, the bar is rather slick considering, and there's even private parking. The breakfast can be taken in the inner courtyard.

Pros

  • Service is professional and it's a good-value option for families
  • Breakfast isn't included but it's decent value for the size (€14)
  • Great location within easier walking of the royal museums and palace

Cons

  • Facilities are pared back given its budget ethos
  • Rooms aren't huge but are comfortable
  • It's not in the prettiest spot in the city
