Citybox Brussels Centre Louise
Staff is basically nonexistent. Our towels and bedsheets had some stains on it and we tried to contact staff but no one answered. We went downstairs to talk to staff and no one was there either.

Cardo Brussels, Autograph Collection
As you would expect from a Marriott Autograph hotel - it was fantastic. Location is good for a short walk to the tourist area, and right next to the metro.
