Citybox Brussels Centre Louise
"This hotel is fine. And that's all. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. It does the job, if you want a cheap stay for a few nights it'll get the job done. But it lacks a few of the touches that make hotels really enjoyable. This is purely functional, and it does a decent job."
