Holiday Inn Express Brussels Airport by IHG
Airport shuttle was great, although left earlier than advertised. Clean rooms but first room was used and we had to request a different room. The hotel was a bit out dated- the place across is mite guo and cheaper!

PREMIER SUITES PLUS Antwerp
Great location, wonderful breakfast, friendly staff. Very spacious room & large shower. Bed is quite soft - some people like that, my back doesn't. Shower is quite slippy (maybe provide a slip mat?). Floor under the bed was dusty.

B&B HOTEL Brussels Airport
Everything was okay, except the room was not soundproof as listed and the air conditioning didn’t really work either. Oh the door wouldn’t lock without the top lock also. But aside from that everything was 4-5 stars.
