Motel One Brussels

Motel One Brussels

10/10 Excellent
"Just back from a great stay at this hotel. We arrived early and turned up at the hotel expecting just to drop our bags off as we were way to early to check in but the lovely lady called Elena (not sure of the spelling) on reception checked us in early and gave us a garden facing room. She was very welcoming and helpful indeed. This was fantastic as these rooms are so quiet. We never heard a sound the whole time we were there and the bed was very comfortable too. This was very welcome as we were so busy on tours during the day. The hotel is very clean and our room was cleaned every day throughout our stay. The shower was also good. We did not eat at the hotel so I cannot comment on breakfast. You are not far away from the main areas central station is about 5-10 mins walk away and it is very well located for the pick up points for various bus tours to Luxembourg, Brugge and Amsterdam etc. This was a reason I chose this hotel. You are also about 15 mins walk to the Grand Place area and the Royal Palace. There's a Carrafeur supermarket nearby and also some restaurants and eating places along the street. I would happily stay here again if I were staying in Brussels. It was excellent value for money for the price I paid."
