Located in Brussels center, just 100 m away from train station. The metro station is next to the exit of the hotel. Low price but needs refurbishment. More

Not sure why the hotel is 4 star, but 3 would seem reasonable. Furnishings are reasonably tidy A good choice of English-language TV stations Plenty of extras in the bathroom! :-) Great location for an under 10 minute walk to the Grand Place and approx 10 mins taxi to Brussels Midi station. All the staff spoke excellent English No breakfast... More

We booked weeks before our arrival date, but on our way to Brussels to Amsterdam, we were advised that there will be at least a 2-day strike in Brussels that will paralyzed its transportation in and out of the city. Since we only planned to stay here for a night before heading to Paris, we were advised to move straight... More

Pros: Location was excellent. You could walk to the Grand Place. Make sure you go to Notre Date de Sablon. It's only 10 minutes walk from the hotel. This is a charming area with a beautiful church, many unique boutiques and restaurants. You will pass Musee Margritte and Musee of Music Instruments on the way. We did not know this... More

I stayed for 5 nights in April 2011...3 nights before heading to Amsterdam and 2 nights on the way back. Let me say this hotel is a hop, skip and jump away from the train station and is literally less than 5 minutes walk from the heart of the city. You can't beat this location! I think the price was...

We were going to Brussels for a short weekend with my boyfriend and were supposed to sleep at some friends', unfortunately at the last minute, we had no room and were arriving in Brussels a few hours later so I decided to book online at this lastminute website. For a 53eur price the night, we had a huge room !... More

I travel a lot on business, sometimes with colleagues and other times with clients. it's not often that I get to travel with my wife... usually when we travel together we need to make sure every cent counts, as it is usually as part of a little vacation tagged onto a work trip.

Definitely not a four star hotel! A nice young lady at the reception upgraded my mom's room when she saw my disappointment- that's why I gave the "3 out of 5" rating.Otherwise I would have given it a 2. Outdated, charmless, not even the location seemed friendly. (coming from La Grande-Place it's an uphill walk through noisy, polluted streets, weird... More

In a city sometimes not very friendly, hotel Centrale was the perfect stay: best location, in a very safe and nice area. To the central station is less than 200 m and the next door is the entrance to the metro station, with the connection with all lines. Cathedral Sainte Gudule is behind the hotel; even it seems busy, the... More

Just a minimal walk from the train station, is this very nice, quite reasonably priced hotel in Brussels. Everyone was very pleasant, the room was very clean. Just donnot book without having an included breakfast as the breakfast on its own is expensive. However, there is a great little place right next door to have a croissant and coffee. More
