Top Upper Town Hotel Reviews

NH Collection Brussels Grand Sablon

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and well located property. Breakfast was fantastic"

Warwick Brussels Grand-Place

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the stay, the rooms were nice and clean, the staff was great, and the roof top bar was a nice find for great views of the city. The hotel is a very short walk from the Central station and right behind Grand Place making it super convenient. The food & beer choices at their restaurant could have been better given the options around but not too bad either. All in all loved the hotel and would go back if in that area."

First Euroflat Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very close to many dining options. The hotel staff were very hospitable and went out of their way to "wake" us up in the morning for early calls. Breakfast was good and hearty. The hotel was clean, orerly and organized. We were pleasantly surprised to see the cacti in the lobby. We live in the Mojave Desert in Arizona, so it impressed us how they went out of their way to make us feel at home!"

Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the newly renovated part of the hotel and the rooms were really nice big size the bathrooms were excellent clean and spacious and all the facilities were really well maintained with great air-con as well in the summer. Create location in the city just on Louisa road so great access to everything."
