Top hotels in Helmet
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.

Yes Room was spotless and welcoming. Reception staff refused to give me adapta to charge my phone although there was a box full of adopters. My body soap has finished instead of the cleaner changing it left with a container and never replace it.Very inconsiderate staff looking for a rection .
