The entrance was difficult to find but the area was very walkable and metro very close by. The restaurants and Grand Place were all very close.

Thon Hotel Brussels City Centre
The staff was courteous and the hotel lobby area is nice. My gripe with this hotel was my room. The “carpet” was dirty (I don’t believe they vacuum) and the bathroom was less than desirable due to the stains in the bathtub, chipped tile & a broken stopper.
