Novotel Brussels Off Grand Place - Brussels, Belgium     

I had some trouble locating this hotel, as I got turned around when leaving the Central Station. When you see LeMeridian, walk straight toward it and then veer to your left under an arch and go straight down the hill. Upon arriving (finally), I was not in the best mood, but that quickly changed when I was so warmly and courteously greeted by the front desk staff. The room was clean, comfortable and modern, and is in a perfect location. The only negative was that my room faced toward Grand Place and was somewhat noisy with the window open. Also remember there is a slight hill to go up when leaving if you are dealing with lots of luggage. Breakfast was one of the best of my trip with most extensive selection. Would recommend this hotel, and this chain in general, as I had a very good experience in London also.

when traveling in Europe first option for a hotel is Novotel. Hotels are always clean and comfortable. This hotels location is excellent. the staff are very friendly and speak good english. There are loads of restaurants nearby if you dont wish to have the breakfast. the location is what it says -off Grand Place. We were 2 couples in our Mid 20's and felt it was close and within walking distance to everything we wanted, shops, restaurants, pubs and clubs. enjoy your time in Brussels.
