Lonely Planet "Set around a central courtyard and fountain, this spiffy-looking cream-rendered hostel houses 173 beds." Full review
Let's Go "Surprisingly lively, Jacques Brel provides a modern bar and lounge in its reception area." Full review
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick
"The Jacques Brel Hostel (named for the famed Belgian singer-songwriter) isn’t your average, run-down backpacker establishment, as evidenced by its charming courtyard with wooden garden furniture." Full review
Frommer's "The friendly, rather ramshackle hostel has the reputation of being the best one in Brussels...because the hostel is inside an old house, rooms are of odd shapes and sizes." Full review

Concierge "The blandest of names gives entirely the wrong impression of this 17-room gem in the Lower City's cute, cobblestoned Sainte-Catherine district."
Fodor's "The rooms, divided into economy, business, and first class, are as comfortable as those in far more expensive establishments." Full review
Lonely Planet "The wooden-panelled reception area does nothing to prepare guests for the full-colour decor in each uniquely designed room transporting you to, say, Tahiti, Congo, Cuba or Zanzibar." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Situated in a peaceful location to the north of Place Ste Catherine (the city’s old fish market), Hotel Welcome sits in the midst of some fabulous fish restaurants."
Frommer's "The name of this gem of a hotel, overlooking the Fish Market, couldn't be more accurate, thanks to the untiring efforts of the husband-and-wife proprietors." Full review

"The 17-room Brussels Welcome Hotel is a unique, family-run property with lots of character in a prime location in the heart of historic Brussels." Full review
Let's Go "Get ready for the cheesy plug: Welcome Hotel is not just a hotel, it’s an experience." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Exotic travel is the theme at the Brussels Welcome Hotel – a wonderland lies behind the rather plain façade." Full review
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick
"The three-star Hotel Welcome is a small hotel, carefully maintained and lovingly managed by its gregarious proprietor and manager, Michel Smeesters." Full review
