Excellent.

"I booked this hotel solely for its location. It clearly caters to a business clientele but that caters for tourists and families alike. All the staff were exceptionally friendly and the rooms are very comfortable, spacious and airy. If you are sharing the room had a separate toilet to the shower room, a blinks of you are sharing with someone who takes too long in the shower. A huge flat screen TV, USB ports to charge your devices and a fridge in the room. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of cold and cooked options. There is a limited lunch and evening menu and I tried it one evening and it was was excellent. The price of food and at the bar were good value which is not always the case in hotels. It is perfectly located right by the cities Central Station (2 minutes walk) and within walking distance of most of the sites of Brussels. With a taxi rank outside and Metro, Trams and buses all handy there don’t anywhere in Brussels you cannot get to easily. I also took a trip to Bruges from the Central Station which is only an hour away. There are a multitude of places to eat and drink within walking distance and you cannot miss the waffle houses and Chocolatiers if that’s your thing. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

"This was the nicest hotel during our two week trip to Europe! It was very close to the train station as well as the major attractions and restaurants. The hotel is clean and smells wonderful. The room was big, the bed was so comfortable, and the specialty coffee maker was a nice touch."

"So far out of 9 hotels on my swing thru 7 countries, this Novotel Hotel was by far the best. Location and room size were great. Room was clean and at least twice as large as the other hotel rooms. Had better amenities such as a pool, which I didn’t have time to use. Great bar. Staff were superb. "
