There is a bar in the hotel lobby but if you walk right out the doors there are plenty of places to eat and drink. It's really close to the hop on hop off bus location and the grand place. The only reason it isn't five stars is because we checked in and were given a room on the sixth floor. The elevator only goes to the fifth floor so we had to get off on the fifth floor and walk up to the sixth floor every time. After walking around all day and carrying our suitcases around - this was not fun to hear or do. The room had basic accommodations. It wasn't anything special but it worked for us. Another pro is that it is really close to the train station. You can walk there in less than five minutes.

I guess he had not adapt to my lay-back I will get there eventually attitude... 5 minute walk from Gare Centrale to the hotel was painless as I rolled my suitcase downhill. The location of the hotel is just perfect for a short stay as a tourist in Brussels. Walking distance to all the tourist's attractions and bars. A location that is perfect for the ultimate bar crawls of those high ABV's Belgian beers. The room though was just really basic. I don't think I can last that long with that paper thin like bath towel. I was kind of grateful that the windows can be open as I desperately need fresh air after a few drinks! Hotel Ibis got extra +0.5 star for recognizing Platinum Accor status by providing 2 vouchers for a drink in the bar. And surprisingly the bar has a decent selection of local beers. Even if you are not staying in the hotel, it is still a good bar to hang since there is free WIFI and electrical outlets everywhere! I will not hesitate to stay in this hotel again next time when I am in town as long as the price is reasonable. And if you on a drinking vacation, all you need is a clean room that you can walk to after a night or morning (a few bars closes till 8 am) of drinking.

For the last of our 3 city/3 hotel of Europe, I lined up what I felt would be the best of the…read morehotels. This rating may partially reflect the misaligned of the hotel experience to my higher expectations of a Design Hotel by Marriott. The staff was friendly. When we arrived a bit early, they offered to watch our stuff while we grabbed lunch. They mentioned a room should be available early as they were not too booked. We returned in about 2 hours just to check if a room might be ready but were prepared to continue to explore if not. They said the room was cleaned and just pending inspection. Foolishly we waited, it ended up being over an hour and we were now checking in after standard check in time. Frustrating but it happens. The room was spacious but had a few minor issues a hotel of this level should not. They bathroom door would not close all the way, and while spacious, the room is still cozy and without a fully shut door, one could hear, well, everything happening in the bathroom. Further, the sink would not drain unless the plug thing in the middle was fully removed from the sink. These issues were reported but we weren't expecting they be resolved before check out (and they weren't). I was on vacation but needed to check in on a few work items. My biggest annoyance was that their wifi was spotty and best and kept dropping in and out. I ended up having to take my laptop out of the hotel to send a few important emails. Disappointing. Location wise, it's great. Easy walk to everything. Tenish minutes to the train station. In the heart of downtown without being subject to all the downtown craziness. As the goal was to minimize time in room, the location made it easy.

The bed was not bad and the ceilings were high. **Amenities** Reservations were needed for the gym/spa amenities. There's a nice bar and restaurant in the lobby and I didn't get a chance to check it out. **Local Attractions** The Grand Palace is less than 10 minutes away and there's a Carrefour Market 5 minutes away on Rue du Marché aux Poulets.

The gentleman who served us breakfast, both mornings we were there, did a great job finding out what we did and did not want and making adjustments our second morning. Just note that you must book and pay for breakfast the day before. The cost of 15 euros was very reasonable given the size and variety of the breakfast food offered. On our day of departure, we asked them to book us a taxi to Brunelles-Midi (Brussels-Zuid) train station. After they called for a taxi, we all found out that there was a transit worker strike that also impacted taxis in the city; yikes! The owner said she would take us to the station for 15 euros, which is about what a taxi would have cost. This saved our day, and we are very grateful! Our only suggestion would be to have somewhat better lighting in the rooms.

Grand Place is basically across the street, and there's tons of restaurants to walk to. It's easy to get on the metro as well. 5-star location. They also had free (very large) lockers that I could use after I checked out. The room itself was nothing amazing, but the bed was fine and there was plenty of space. The major annoying part was the check-in process. When I got to the hotel, I could not get in the building. You have to go through this lengthy check-in process that seriously involves taking a picture of your Passport with your phone. I'm not gonna go do this out on the street! I tried pressing the call buzzer a good 10-15 times and it took a good 10 minutes to get anyone to show up. Finally someone helped me so everything worked out. Also, the whole thing is based on these pin codes to get on the elevator or into your room, they don't give you a room card or anything. I could have done without this.
