Independent, Brussels Hotels

We only stay at four and five star hotels and this hotel is one of the most unique and noteworthy hotels we've ever stayed at without a doubt. The staff was always helpful and interested in meeting our needs. The room was very nice and the bed was soft, comfortable, and high quality. They have a a large garden (or yard) behind he hotel which makes up over 2.000 square meters of green grass and lushish plants. Perfect for our little dog who, after five days there, thought the garden was his because he felt at home there as did we. We didn't want to leave the hotel after our five day stay. The restaurant was absolutely superb! The executive chef always came out to talk to us throughout the meals to discuss what they were preparing for us which was really nice. The food was some of the best I've had and I've had some of the best in the world. This is truly worthy of their Michelin status. Overall, the hotel ammenities, staff, and restaurant exceeded our expectations. It is one of the best hotels in Brussels and the best family owned hotels ever.

Attention for the owner Davy is amazing, he has the detail to send a txt asking at what time we will make the check in just to have all perfect, and give me the detail of how to get the hotel because the GPS its not exactly, beside that we make the check in, nice room. Breakfast very good, excellent quality of food and nice place

I was looking to expand my knowledge of Brussels beyond the tourist traps. Eurostar being delayed, I had to abandon my planned walked along "Louisa", but the aparthotel still gave me the ideal combination of being close enough to the central parts of Brussels for me to walk - in half an hour - or go by metro or tram in fifteen or twenty minutes.

Charming narrow old building (with lift). Warm, lovely owners, all facilities you would expect, plus spacious and fridge in room. Wooden and tiled floors throughout and simple modern furniture in the room.

We stayed at the 9 Hotel for two nights in September and I'm so pleased with our choice. The hotel looks small from the outside, compared to some of the massive lumps the chain hotels have. And it's only to its credit. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, more than happy to help whenever they could. The décor of the hotel throughout was stunning, very cool and chic. The room was a really good size with a well thought out bathroom and storage. We upgraded and were really glad we did, the bed was a great size and the addition of a balcony was excellent. Breakfast out there on Sunday morning was a joy in itself, as well as being able to enjoy the scenery and the movement of people on the street below. The last thing I mention is by no means the least, which is the location. Having never been to Brussels and having done some but not a large amount of research, this hotel is perfectly located. All the tourist-y sights you need are within walking distance. There are bars and coffee shops nearby and Central Station is within yards. I'd so happily stay here again and would recommend it to anyone wanting to travel to Brussels to see the sights. Great hotel, great location.

The owners are very friendly and helpful. It's located at the most convenient place in the city. Wonderful breakfast!

If you're thinking of taking your partner to Brussels but are afraid she / he won't like your choice of apartment, then book this place as they will love it. The accommodation is contained within a residential building which is very nice, in fact if I lived in Brussels I'd be happy to live there. The rooms are spacious, well equipped, light, clean and of a very good standard with a lovely bathroom. Beyond the room is a common area which everyone can use, comfortable plush furniture & colourful. There is even a balcony with a table and chairs where you can sit. Breakfast is well presented which we considered to be the best we experienced throughout our tour of the continent. Travelling into the town centre is simple as the number 29 bus stop is within a 5 minutes walk, the buses are frequent, inexpensive, takes approximately ten minutes and stops right in the centre. There's no need to use your car or taxis. I'd also add that the area surrounding the apartments is very nice and that we felt safe If you intend travelling there by car as we did you will find secure parking in the basement which is more than adequate but perhaps a little tight in places when manouvring. As someone who bases my choice of accommodation largely upon other travellers reviews I have tried to be honest, balanced and accurate so that you can do the same. Overall I'm happy to rate the accommodation as ten out of ten and my lady agrees so it's definite then, haha, enjoy your stay it's a lovely place

The Welcome Hotel is in a great location – right next to a transit-stop, a beautiful cathedral (St. Catheriens), and within a five to ten minute walk from Grand Place. There are nearby restaurants and the neighborhood feels very safe. The hotel is run by a husband and wife pair, and the care they put into it is eminently obvious. They’re helpful and charming, and the breakfast they put together is nice. What really makes the Welcome Hotel worthwhile, though, are the rooms. Each is unique, and beautifully themed to represent a different country. I’ve stayed in the Cuba and Vietnam rooms, toured a few others, and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Just simply walking the themed halls when entering/leaving the hotel is enjoyable. I came to Brussels as a tourist, and was wonderfully surprised by how my hotel became an additional landmark I enjoyed.
