Best Hotels in Brussels, Belgium: From Cheap to Luxury Accommodations and Places to Stay

by Accommodations, Belgium18 comments

Belgium‘s Brussels is a treasure trove of key attractions and activities, and as the ‘Heart of Europe’, there are a lot of things that can keep you occupied during your stay! (Best Hotels in Brussels)

…Looking for Brussels activities to fill up your itinerary?

Read through this detailed guide of the top FREE things to do in Brussels!

So whatever kind of traveler you may be — no matter if you’re into luxury or budget travel — when it’s time to think of a place to sleep, here is a list of the top best accommodations in Brussels that I highly recommend!

TIP: When booking for your accommodation, I highly recommend Booking.com for two reasons. First, it’s one of the top trusted booking platforms out there. I have been using them for years and they never fail in giving me the best hotel deal! Second, unlike most other booking platforms, I love how they let you make payments only after you check out of the hotel; so payment is not made upfront and cancellations can even be done 24 hours prior to your booked date. It’s definitely perfect for travelers like me! For your convenience, I have included the relevant Booking.com links below for each hotel. Enjoy!

NOTE: Below, when I say ‘distance from the city center’, I am referring to the distance between the hotel and Brussels’ Grand Place which is somehow the center of it all..
