Top hotels in Ganshoren
Steigenberger Icon Wiltcher's
Nice hotel and good location but a bit dated with uncomfortable bed and no room service after midnight which is absurd for a hotel of this size and stature. Walls also paper thin so you can hear your neighbors talking or crying etc. staff doesn’t ask how your stay was on departure

Warwick Grand-Place Brussels
Great location. The shower in the room was a bit small, but that might just be the "American" in me... There was also a lack of outlets in the room. Very minor things, I would stay here again. Clean, safe, vibrant!

ibis Brussels City Centre
First Euroflat Hotel
Nice spacious room with kitchenette, dinner corner and balcony with a view on a garden. Very calm despite that you are in the center of Brussels. Staff was friendly and helpful. Can warmly recommend and we will come back when staying in Brussels.
