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

Michelin Guide "Impressive modern glass atrium, remains of the city's fortifications, and extremely comfortable suites and guestrooms."
Frommer's "Modern, yet in harmony with its neighborhood a few blocks from the Grand-Place, this highly regarded hotel incorporates part of the medieval city wall." Full review
Fodor's "Near the northern end of the Galeries St-Hubert shopping arcade, this hotel has an Art Deco facade and is decorated in a variety of styles." Full review
Lonely Planet "True, it's part of a corporate chain, and true, the building's state-of-the-art circa 1989, but this hotel has a near endless list of one-off features."

Star Service "Its location, just four blocks north of Grand Place, is perfect for both business and leisure travelers, and the breadth of service and stellar staff suits both sides of the fence, too." Full review

The Telegraph8.0
"Brussels’ Radisson Blu is a celebrated institution, famed for its vast, soaring atrium under a glass roof, with tiers of greenery like an interior hanging garden of Babylon." Full review
