Warwick Grand-Place Brussels
The Warwick is a well appointed and comfortable hotel. We went up to the top bar but found the back ground music so loud we couldn't hear others speak, and requests to turn it down had no effect

Excellent location

The Hoxton Brussels
Lovely hotel, but not my favourite area, kinda unsafe, close to a red light district, plus there’s a sketchy park that you have to walk around to get to the center of the city

ibis Brussels City Centre
We didn't eat at the hotel. Lots of restaurants and attractions within easy walking distance. Only downside was bed. Pad on top kept sliding off to one side and bathroom was small but snacks for sale in the lobby was great and the staff were friendly and helpful.
