Hotel Barsey by Warwick
The hotel was beautiful but neither Hotels.com or the hotel bothered to give advanced notice of construction going on. Very hard to understand why they would put any one directly under construction. So yeah the hotel was nice, but a really crappy experience waking up to literally jack hammering!

B&B HOTEL Brussels Centre Louise
For a quick weekend in and out, the hotel is budget friendly. It’s a great location close to Avenue Louise and easily walkable to a lot of key attractions. Staff were very nice and helpful. Breakfast was ok. The rooms need better cleaning. The floors are sticky, and the beds were covered in hair ...
