Accommodation In and Around Brussels -
Hotels and Other Places To Stay To Suit Every Traveller and Budget
Whether you’re looking for a luxurious five star where
you can be pampered and enjoy fine dining, or you’re looking for a cheap place
to squat, you’ll find something to appeal to you in Brussels. The city is
peppered with hotels and hostels – you only need to determine how much it is
you wish to spend and how close to the heart of the city you wish to stay.
The Brussels tourist office (www.brusselsinternational.be)
provides a full listing of accommodation.
There are clusters of Brussels hotels and other various accommodation dotted
around Grand Place, the upper and lower towns, the EU district, St Gilles
and various other locations.
So what type of prices can you expect to fork out? For very
basic accommodation it’s possible to secure a room for under 80 euros, while
at the other end of the spectrum you can splurge 400 Euros or more for more
opulent surroundings. The latter tend to offer plush services including 24 hour
room service, state of the art fitness facilities, business areas and even baby
sitting services. Generally, the city has a good reputation for providing good
clean rooms and fair service at all price levels. Some of the lower end hotels
do not provide in-house eateries (they tend to offer breakfast but that’s it)
although the glut of cafes and restaurants spread throughout the city means this
is not a major drawback. In fact it’s a plus as it gets you out to explore the
city.
Fussy travellers will find places to stay that cater to their individual tastes
– you can enjoy hotels offering splendid vistas (such as the exquisite Amigo
along the lower town) while Welcome for instance is known for it’s interesting
architecture. Gourmet lovers can visit Radisson SAS which has a 2 Michelin Star
restaurant.
There are a couple of notable BandB’s in Brussels such
as Taxistop Bed and Breakfast and tourists on a strict budget can reserve a
room at the tourist office. There are also hostels for those who wish to spend
even less – with private rooms available for as little as 20 Euros.
If you’re planning to visit Brussels during its peak
times then be smart and book your accommodation ahead of arriving. As you might
expect, places become very full during these times and you may not get the hotel
or location of your choice unless you plan ahead. Sometimes, it’s possible to
secure weekend discounts or get Eurostar hotel and train deals from various
places in Europe including England.
It’s also possible to secure private apartments to rent
within Brussels – expect to pay anything between 300 to 1000 Euros per week
depending on the type and location of the property you wish to rent.
Below is a brief listing of accommodation – various
hotels and other places to stay according to location.
