"I have been a big fan of Ibis, since I stayed in an Ibis in Chaumont, France. It has a familiar feel and I know I can expect a great breakfast, easy access to the Ibis restaurant / bar and the convenience of being where the action is. Ibis Brussels did not disappoint. We were in the heart of the Grand Place, with easy access to shops, restaurants, museums, historic buildings, train station (only a 4 min walk away) and the airport @ 20 min by train. Ibis is all about space-saving, but it has all you need when traveling. Beds were comfortable, room is clean and it was quiet within the hotel. Because the Grand Place is such a big destination, there was a lot of activity and above-average *noise* outside the window, as people stay up late and no doubt are having fun. Closing the window was enough to dampen the sounds from outside. I felt safe in the area, although it was brought to my attention to be vigilant with travel bags and not to leave them unattended in the lobby. Overall, I would stay at the Ibis again. It was affordable (so long as you make your reservations early) and reliable."

"Our stay was confortable and this hotel is in a great location. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The lobby was beautiful, but the room we stayed was dingy and outdated. But other than that, it was great."

Aris Grand-Place Hotel

Aris Grand-Place Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A very nice hotel which is a 5 minute walk from Brussels Central train station. Brussels Central train station being a one stop train journey from Brussels Midi/zuid and the train staff in both stations very helpful with platform information and train times. The hotel staff were very friendly and we were offered an early check in for €20 which we were glad to accept so we could freshen up before heading out to explore Brussels centre which was literally on the doorstep of the hotel. Room was exceptionally clean and the bed was extremely comfortable which all adds to a very pleasant stay. Only thing that didn’t suit our personal taste was the breakfast served in the coffee shop on the ground floor. Our preference would be a buffet breakfast but the selection we made from a very limited menu was very nice indeed. We were advised when we booked out that had we mentioned our preference of a buffet breakfast earlier in our stay then we would have been offered this in another one of their local hotels. Unfortunately we were not aware of this possibility but maybe worth considering letting guests know of this option. This was a minor thing and would not affect our decision to stay here again as and when we are next in Brussels."

"Great property, very close to everything we wanted to see and do in Brussels. We arrived by Train to Brussels Central train station, it was a very short walk to the hotel. The hotel is literally next door to St Michaels Cathedral and a short walk to Grand Place and other typical tourist spots. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place to stay and highly recommend."
