Novotel Brussels Off Grand Place - Brussels, Belgium 

"Enjoyed our stay here"
Posted: Mon, Nov 23 2009
We stayed for a weekend at the Novotel, and we really liked our clean and neat double room (business-like style), the fact that the hotel was so near Grand'Place and the centre and the Gare centrale, so we could come back to the hotel and go out again quickly. Even though central, the rooms are very well isolated from noise. We also found the staff generally helpful. For such a location and room, the price is reasonable (our formula was 89 euros per night incl. breakfast).

Excellent location and smartly presented hotel

Stayed 1 night on returning from friends' wedding. Everything you would like to expect from a big hotel chain - clean, tidy and well equipped rooms. Buffet style breakfast (included by booking online via hotel website and getting a great rate). Location good for seeing Grand Place and easy access to metro to take you back to Gare du Midi.

Fantastic location

Spent a long weekend at this hotel with 2 sons. Lobby area was clean and welcoming and receptionists were always very helpful. Security in the hotel is good with lifts and room safes controlled by room cards. When I reached the floor where my room was, I was thought the corridors were a bit drab and dingy however the room was spacious and clean - the sofa bed folded down into 2 separate single beds so great for bigger kids. Breakfast was included in the price I paid and kids stayed and ate free so well worth choosing that option on booking. The breakfast area was lovely - bright and clean with very helpful staff. There was also a playstation in the bar which went down well with my sons! This hotel is extremely central and a stones throw from Central station (down past the Meridian Hotel) through an archway and ideal if you dont have transport. The Galleries Hubert are across from the hotel and Grand Place is along a short street. At the end of the Galleries Hubert is Rue de Bouchers which is entertaining and gives you a huge choice of eating places. The only downside to being so central is the contact with some rather 'dodgy' people who are attracted to places where there are lots of tourists and we were approached by a few beggars but as long as you dealt with them firmly, they were no problem. Its also quite noisy at the front (I had a room at the side and it was quite peaceful) but if you like the 'buzz' of a busy area you'll be happy. I would recommend this hotel and would certainly choose it again if visiting Brussels.
