pentahotel Brussels Airport
Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie
Room was very clean. Service in Belgium overall including this hotel is absolutely terrible. The entire building must be set to either cool or heat. Rooms are not able to be independently adjusted. As a result all 4 rooms were very warm.

The most ideal location for Brussels -especially for families and if you are traveling to other cities in Belgium or Netherlands as Brussels Midi station is the main hub for transportation. Highly recommend this place.
