Top Upper Town Hotel Reviews

Warwick Brussels Grand-Place

8/10 Good

"Hotel overall is nice and in good location . Amenities are excellent . My room was in first floor and i did not like it. Expedia believed i should have got a room upgrade or special treat but nothing offered."

Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Over the years, I have always spent my last night in Belgium at the Sheraton. The staff is welcoming and professional, and every aspect of the stay is perfect. My morning departure at Zaventem merely requires walking across the street after having enjoyed a vast continental breakfast. Always a pleasure."

Novotel Brussels City Centre

10/10 Excellent

"AMENITIES! We wanted a relaxing overnight before our long haul flight back to the U.S. and that is exactly what we got. The room was huge, and the fitness wellness center is worth every penny spent! My teen kids loved the hotel and wish we had a longer stay. The location is convenient to shopping and eateries."

Radisson RED Brussels

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super helpful and always happy to help. There was a nice lobby area with games and food / drinks for purchase. Hotel room was spacious and clean. The bed was comfy too! The only thing is they have an open shower and water gets everywhere. I'd still stay again if in need of a hotel in the area. At least the shower wasn't teeny tiny. But, you'll need an extra towel to leave on the floor to soak up all the water."
