Renaissance Brussels Hotel

It’s not far from the center

The hotel is better than it looks in the photos. In August 23 the pool wasn't too busy but it got plenty of use. There are pool towels, robes and slippers in the room. The sauna and gym were also free. Mini fridge, kettle, mugs and glasses in the quiet room. We found our king size bed comfortable. The scaffold was still there during our stay but only obscured part of the window and no work was going on during the week. There is nothing you'd want to look out at anyway. For food and drinks, the Beer factory on Place de Luxembourg, a few minutes walk away. There are buses from Place de Luxembourg and you can touch on with a credit card. I think one goes to the airport for a better price than the IC train which you get to Gare du Midi and then need to pay (tap credit card) for a metro to Trone. Best excursion is to the Ghent altarpiece with VR tour. €5 ew from Gare du Midi.

Great, central location and my room was quiet which is the most important thing to me when staying in a hotel. Partly this was due to my request for a quiet, end of corridor room which I was given - moreover, they gave me a room over the garden rather than the street to really ensure quiet, which was kind - but also no noisy neighbours which is always a massive plus. I did not use any facilities and didn’t have breakfast at €22, so can not judge them.

the hotell has an excellent location, it looks very well and the staff is friendly.

Staff was nice. Location was close to everything in the city that we needed to prepare for our day. Close to transit to get around quickly.
