My husband and I got a good deal on Eurostar tickets and so decided to take a trip to Brusesels. I got a great price for 3 nights at the Four Points Sheraton though a "Top Secret Hotels" deal from lastminute.com, which was described as a 4* hotel in the centre of Brussels.
This is a difficult review to write as, for us, this hotel was spot on - it was cheap, in a residential location which meant there were lots of local bars & restaurants, there was a fab cafe on the corner for breakfast and it was on a main tram/bus route for getting too and from the station and city centre, however, for those who may want to be much more central, near to the Grand Place or Palaces, theatres etc then this place isn't for you. Also, if you are not happy with using public transport then don't bother as it was a long way from the station/city centre and would probably cost a bomb in taxi fares.
We chose to walk one day up from the hotel to the city centre which was do-able but took us about 30 mins - we weren't in a hurry though and the main route to town from the hotel (Avenue Louise) was one of the main shopping streets in Brussels, so it's safe to say I got side-tracked!
We didn't eat or drink at the hotel so I can't comment on this - we really only used the place to lay down our heads. There was a little supermarket at the end of the street for water and fruit etc and as I said earlier, a great cafe around the corner for breakfast - great fresh orange juice and pastries.
The rooms were a nice size, very clean and had their own toiletries. The bed was comfy and the bed linen was crisp and clean.
If you like Belgian beer then try Beer Mania on Chausee de Wavre (http://www.beermania.be). Had a great selection of beers from all over Belgium and the world, they also made the best chips I have ever tasted which went down a storm sitting in the small beer garden at the back with a bottle of local brew - try their own brand - Mea Culpe - awesome! Each beer comes with it's own glass - the Mea Culpe glass is a €43 Bohemian Crystal glass so don't drop it!
All in all we had a great time in Brussels and for us the hotel ticked every box but if you are looking for a central location or a real luxury hotel then this place isn't for you.
