a&o Brussel Centrum
Room was spacious, staff was excellent and helpful. Breakfast had heaps of options. The only downfall is that the hotel is located close to Gare du Nord station which is a red light area where thieves operate. Highly recommend to take a taxi. Apart from that, the hotel is excellent

Extremely convenient because we were only staying for one night so being attached to the train station was ideal. The room itself was fine.
