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

The Telegraph8.0
"This upbeat boutique hotel, plumb in the middle of one of the most attractive parts of central Brussels, combines smart hospitality with character." Full review
Independent "There’s plenty more going for Hôtel des Galeries, for one its well-loved restaurant and two its location in Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, a covered walkway dating back to the 19th century"
Michelin Guide "The look is streamlined and contemporary, with the building’s original bones providing old-fashioned character: think parquet floors, vaulted ceilings, skylights, and wooden shutters" Full review
