Hotel Van Belle

The room was nice and clean, the view was nice and the bed was good.

The hotel was very clean, beds were extremely comfortable and we slept very well. The rooms were cleaned with fresh towels daily. There was no noise from other residents or the surrounding area. Location is not as close to city centre as stated but an easy walk, out of hotel, turn left and walk in a straight line for 15 mins. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at Hotel Van Helen.

A modern and stylish hotel that exceeded expectations. The rooms were exceptionally clean, simply decorated and quiet, with a very comfortable bed and high-quality pillows that made for a restful night's sleep. The lobby area was inviting and well-designed — a great place to relax or wait for a ride. The hotel is conveniently located, about a 13-minute walk to Brussels Midi station, making it easily accessible for train travel. It is also 15-minute leisurely stroll to the city's iconic Grand Place, allowing guests to enjoy the local atmosphere along the way. Initially, I felt slightly uncertain about the location. While it is very close to the city centre, the surrounding area is predominantly home to Middle Eastern and African communities. As European visitors, we were among the few in the area, but at no point did we feel unsafe — even after dark. In fact, we discovered a fantastic Syrian eatery on the main street, shopped at well stocked supermarket, sampled treats from a local sweet shop, and genuinely enjoyed the vibrant cultural mix of the neighborhood. The only aspect that could benefit from some attention was the general cleanliness of the streets of the neighborhood, as there was a noticeable amount of litter around.

The hotel has an underground garage with 24-hour private parking, which was perfect since we came by car. It’s close to the historic city center, and getting to the main highways was easy. We found this very helpful as we were making trips to other cities around Brussels. The place looks modern and stylish, it’s quiet at night, and the rooms seemed well soundproofed because nothing disturbed our sleep. I would also like to express my gratitude to the hotel staff for their help and willingness to assist. Definitely recommend this place to stay in Brussels!

LOVED the bar/restaurant service, tasty breakfast and chilled vibe of the place. The bed was super comfy and the room was nice and dark for sleeping. The chef, Mimoun, cooked up a delicious meal for dinner even though it was close to closing time and Sarah on the desk was incredibly helpful too. To be honest, all the staff were an absolute pleasure to talk to.
