Hotel Ibis Brussels Centre Ste Catherine - Brussels, Belgium 

The best thing about this hotel is its location - it couldn't be much more central to the heart of Brussels. It is also very reasonably priced. We stayed here for 3 nights in May and couldn't believe what a bargain we'd found. When we arrived, the road outside was being dug up (maybe this was why it was so cheap), but the workmen were considerate, and there was no noise outside of normal working hours. The room itself is small and the shower room is even smaller! Think of the smallest space in which it would be possible to fit a sink, shower and toilet.... then squash it a bit! Even so, the shower was good, everything was clean, and at 6ft, I still managed! Breakfast offered a reasonable selection, though some of the fresh fruit was well past its prime. Reception staff were very helpful and happy to offer advice, etc. If you're looking for a base from which to explore the city, and are looking for a convenient location at a great price rather than luxury, this is the hotel for you.

Stayed for only 1 night in a double room. The room was clean and simple, but very tiny - especially the bathroom. Room had a TV, but no tea & coffee making facilities. The hotel location is good, close to the historical centre, but out of the centre enough to be quiet. Perfectly fine for a short stop over, if you're staying for longer you may prefer to look for somewhere with bigger rooms.
