Hi All,

Will be starting a new role in Brussels on Monday for 3 mths, can anyone recommend a reasonably priced and nice place to put up in while there....

Ibis hotels are quite good - depending on where you are i'd recommend with the grand place or saint catherine area.

Brussels is a wierd place, nice areas turn into absolute ghettos seemingly within about 100 meters of each other - ive been slumming it in the ghettos with 65 euro per night hotels, but for that price its the absolute pits - i wont even sleep in the beds cause of all the fleas and bedbugs in them (no sh1t!) .... reckon on at least 100 euro's per night for something that goes from horrific to really quite nice, which is probably like a good new travellodge or something (comparing it to the UK).

The areas around the central station are utter sh1te .... avoid.

Kramer - still hanging on ere.... the ICT manager took me out and fed me 6 Duvel's on an empty stomach to keep me sweet. Sill working out my notice period but they are hoping ill stay ;)

If you do stay, Aparthotels are a bit less soul destroying than hotels and tend to work out cheaper with loads in the nicer areas around Louise/Ixelles:

I used these guys when I came out here at first: http://www.immobe.be/

A mate also stayed here http://www.easyliving.be/en/location.asp
 
Good link - thanks for that!!!

Work out the exact same price as it would staying in these crack/heroin dens i am right now .... and i bet the bed sheets dont move even when you arent in them either!
 
have a look at accorhotels.com

I make a point of only staying in Accor hotels. If they have a Sofitel, I would use that...bit costly, but very nice.
