Ibis Brussels off Grand Place Hotel

Placed on Rue du Marché aux Herbes, a street that has anchored Brussels' old market quarter for centuries, the hotel now occupies ground close enough to the Grand Place to reach it on foot in minutes. The building itself is unremarkable; the location is not. Six room configurations are on offer, from a compact double at 13 m² to a premium double-and-single room at 20 m². Standard doubles and twins run 12 to 13 m², practical rather than generous, with a bathroom and Wi-Fi as standard. An accessible double room is also available. Breakfast is served each morning, and the hotel bar operates through the day for guests wanting a drink without leaving the building. Check-in runs from 3pm, checkout by 11am. The surrounding streets hold the city's older restaurants and bars, along with the Beer Museum nearby, all within walking distance of the front door. Metro access sits close by too, useful for guests working across town or arriving by train. It is not a hotel built for its rooms. It is built for where it stands, and for travellers who want the old centre outside the window without paying for a view of it.
