La Bourse Hotel

“Outstanding Hotel, right across the street from the stock exchange.”

Outstanding hotel right in the middle of everything in Brussels!! we cannot say enough good things about this hotel. It got some bad reviews so we were leery, but it was really quite nice. Huge room. Phenomenal breakfast. Outstanding views. Right across the street from the stock exchange.

“Three-star city hotel with small but renovated rooms”

I needed to stay in Brussels for one night between flights, and wanted a hotel close to Grand Place and the railway station. I arrived at the hotel at 11 am, and, unsurprisingly, my room was not ready. The friendly receptionist held my luggage and informed me of the official check-in time at 2 pm. however, when I got back at 1:25, the room was ready and I was able to check in. I needed to pay a city tax of 4.25 EUR. Check-out would be at 11 am. I had booked a single room, and it was very small but adequate for a one-night stay. The room was clean and fresh and seemed recently renovated. There was a comfortable but narrow bed, only 90 cm wide, and a socket by the bed for charging your devices. In addition, there was a luggage rack, a small desk and a chair as well as a safe, a fridge and a 0.5 L water bottle. Wifi was free, fast, unlimited, reliable and very easy to use. The bathroom was minuscule, the size of a closet really, and came with a handheld shower. Water pressure was good, but it took several minutes for the water to become hot and once it had warmed up, the temperature kept changing unexpectedly, which was not very nice. The sink was too small and thus impractical. Amenities included wall-mounted containers of hand soap, shower gel and shampoo. The toilet was in a separate minuscule closet, and as it was unheated, it was freezing cold, especially the stone floor. Buffet breakfast, 18 euros, was served in the downstairs restaurant from 7 to 10:30. I did not try it. Otherwise, the restaurant serves Pakistani food for lunch and dinner. There are several restaurants and cafés nearby. Reception is open 24/7 and I found all the receptionists I interacted with friendly and fluent in English. I needed to have a boarding pass printed, and that was swiftly taken care of. The hotel enjoys a very central location, two blocks from Grand Place, a ten-minute walk from the central railway station (with an efficient train connection to the airport). There is a Carrefour supermarket on the next block, open daily from 7 am to 11 pm. Booking early, I paid 94 euros for my one-night stay, which I suppose was more or less what the hotel was worth. However, as my stay approached, the prices went up significantly – Brussels seems to be full of weekend tourists in December. I was happy with my stay and could see myself returning should I need a quick overnighter again.
