Novotel Brussels City Centre Hotel

The hotel is set in central Brussels, a short walk from the Grand Place, the Manneken Pis and the Magritte Museum. It is a practical base for a city visit, with the old town's cobbled squares and museums reachable on foot rather than by taxi or metro. Guest rooms come in several sizes, from a compact 26 m² standard double to a 55 m² executive suite with a city view and separate bathtub and shower. Several rooms sit on high floors with corner windows; some are duplex suites reached by an internal stair. Each room has air-conditioning, a minibar, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, useful detail during Brussels' warmer summer weeks. Downstairs, the hotel runs a restaurant and bar, and guests can swim in an indoor heated pool or use the hammam and fitness centre before heading out. A family suite sleeps up to eight across two double beds and four sofa beds, and children up to fifteen stay free when sharing a parent's room. Check-in runs from 3pm, checkout by 11am. Grocery shops and a wide run of restaurants lie within walking distance, along with several sister Accor hotels nearby. It is a straightforward, well-equipped stay built for getting into the city quickly, not for lingering in the lobby.
