Ibis

A great place to stay – quiet, clean, and centrally located.
The location of Hotel Ibis can’t be beat, since it’s in close proximity to the Gare Central, the Grand Place, and so many other beautiful sites. The hotel is lovely, clean, and spacious, and our room was quite nice with a beautiful modern bedroom and bath, and an intriguing bathroom door setup. Basically the bathroom door functions as both a door to the facilities, but can also serve as an extra door to block out hallway noise. At any rate, the hotel was very quiet and we had no problem with noise. They offer two free computers with internet access downstairs, or you can pay extra to get wifi in your rooms. They also offer a good continental breakfast for an additional charge. The breakfast was quite nice, with a big selection of breads, croissants, eggs, cheeses, and deli meats.

Hotel Ibis is a budget hotel, but it is centrally located near the train station, Grand Place, tons of bars, restaurants, shops and all the touristy spots (Mannekin Pis, Jeanneke Pis, etc) and all are within walking distance. Our flight arrived in Belgium at 7:15 am local time. By the time we gathered our luggage, cleared immigrations, caught the train into Brussels Central, and made the short 5 minute walk to the hotel, it was probably about 9:15. We decided to stop in just in case they might have a room ready or at the least could hold our luggage until a room was ready so we could wander the streets.
Karine was the lovely associate who assisted us. We explained that we had just come off the plane and would really like a bit of rest, as well as a shower, before heading out. She checked her systems and said we would have our room by 10:00 and in the meantime would hold our luggage if we cared to step out. We were pleasantly surprised, especially not being used to such early check in in the US and all with no extra charge. Kudos to Karine for providing exceptional hospitality to two tired Americans — she earned Hotel Ibis an extra star!
The rooms are very small — in fact the bed takes up most of the room. The design of the shower was such that it was easy to flood the small bathroom floor without even trying. I agree with other reviewers that the towels are a bit thin and it would have been nice to have more than two bath towels and one floor mat in the bathroom especially considering how much water ended up on the floor, but it was easy enough to get fresh towels from the friendly, accommodating staff.
The room itself was comfortable even though small. I am not sure the air was actually working, but we were able to open a window which kept the room at a perfect temperature on this mild day. Everything was clean and the bed was exceedingly comfortable for what it was — a very thick pad on a base. Being a budget hotel, the room did not offer much in the way of amenities. There was a small TV at the end of the bed, a blow dryer in the bathroom and free Wi-​Fi. They offered a bar and snack area as well as breakfast in the morning for a charge. All that being said, who comes to Brussels to hang out in a hotel room? It was perfect for our short stay, very economical and I would definitely use Hotel Ibis in the future.

This hotel is centrally located. Train station is right behind and you have a bunch of shops, restaurants and bars in close proximity. Grand Place is only a few minutes walking!
Rooms are pretty basic. A little small, but sufficient enough for any tourist as you’ll only be using this room to sleep and freshen up. There’s no gym or ice machine on each floor but there is a little station of two computers where you can browse the internet and print stuff. If the printer isn’t working you can easily email the front desk whatever it is that you need.
I would definitely stay here again if I come back. Not bad for the price. I was able to get this for around $ 100 a night on
.
FYI — for the younger crowd, make sure to check out delirium café at night!

Dragging my suitcase with my phone GPS on trying to find my way to Hotel Ibis Brussels should be a easy task, aside from my Unilocal friend kept rushing me and asking me where? where? where? 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.

As we leave the entrance of Gare Centrale towards daylight, we began our short journey of Europe faced with our first steps of cobblestones. A Canadian’s worst nightmare, and here I thought I was over and done with it after being in Boston, not with my luck. This hotel better be within walking distance, I thought. Otherwise with my last ounce of energy I’ll pound my travel companion to pebbles after wasting most of my strength dragging my luggage through hell.
Lucky enough, Ibis turns out to be less than 5 minutes walking distance. 3 minutes dragging luggage or 2 minutes not dragging anything. As I spare my companions life temporarily, we enter to find a small but cozy modern lobby with decent service staff. No cute girl smiling at me this time, can’t always be that way I guess. I sat at one of the baby chairs or maybe what European considers stylish furnishing while our room card is being prepared.
Up the mini elevators we go, which I later on found it to be standard Europe sized. To the room that’s been refurbished from it’s historic past, it’s clean, and non-​spacious but again that’s not according to standards. Relative to the elevator size, the room was properly spacious let’s say. Only 2 towels in the washroom meant it’s fight-​to-​the-​death battle between my room mate but for her sake she doesn’t care about anything as long as there’s FREE wifi to Unilocal her life story to the world and power outlet to recharge unfortunate to have only the one.
Convenience to Grand-​Place and all the Touristy sites as it is. Not too many convenient stores or supermercat so when we did find one, we lugged our 1L bottle of precious still-​water from however far away back to our headquarters. Tired after a long day, it seems the air conditioning, fan or heating was not to be messed with as it refused to turn on. Yes, window was the air circulation of choice.
At the end of the day, Hotel is about a quiet comfy nights sleep and for that Ibis Brussels does pass that requirement at an affordable price. It was nice to have a complimentary drink vouchers[Platnium Accor status] to enjoy at the lobby bar. Overall my fair assessment for now would be two. five stars. Not a place I like to stay for an extended period of time.

This IBIS is centrally located in Brussels! Walking distance from Central Station, Grand Palace and many other sites! We lucked out and got a room that had a great view! Check in and check out was a breeze. Free WIFI in the hotel and also has 2 computers for those who need to print stuff. Would definitely recommend this to all.

A typical Ibis property once you are in the room but a very nice location in the city conveniently located near Central Station. Check in was a bit lengthy while the clerk figured out that i had different rates for different nights. Nevertheless with a bit of assistance from his boss he seemed to get it done. Free wireless is a real plus as many hotels will get you for an additional 12 to 20 Euros per day.

Das Ibis Hotel neben dem Grand Place is ein gutes Haus. Praktisch, mitten in der City gelegen, kommt man fast überall zu Fuß hin. Auf dem kleinen Place vor dem Eingang findet unter der Woche immer ein Markt statt und nebenan ist ein Schokoladengeschäft (Achtung — Tourifalle! Für gute Schokolade sollte man in eine richtige Chocolaterie gehen, für ein Mitbringsel für den Chef «reicht» es meistens.)
Die Zimmer sind gut gelegen, auch wenn man häufig nur wenig Lichteinfall hat da die Häuser sehr eng aneinander und z.T. bis zu 7 Stockwerke hoch gebaut sind. Das Zimmer ist sauber, ein Fernseher und die üblichen Annehmlichkeiten sind vorhanden. Das Bad ist mit einer Badewannendusche ausgestatten — hat sonst aber den üblichen Ibis Standard, der leider unpraktisch festmontierte Föné etc. beinhaltet. Im Allgemeinen ist das Zimmer ein gutes Stadthotel Zimmer. Man ist ja ohnehin meist unterwegs.
Mit dem Frühstück verhält es sich ähnlich wie mit dem Zimmer. Es ist alles, was man sich wünschen könnte vorhanden (Wurst, Käse, Brötchen — kein Lachs oder ähnliche Annehmlichkeiten) — aber halt auch nicht mehr. Nichts besonderes, nichts ganz frisches. Kaffee, Tee, heiße Schokolade. Alles mit Selbstbedienung. Aber abgeräumt wird zügig. Das ist sehr erfreulich.
Fazit: Ein gutes Hotel für einen Stadturlaub in Brüssel. Dafür gibt es vier solide Sterne. Man sollte schauen, dass man nicht zu viel für den Aufenthalt bezahlt. Häufig gibt es Angebote.

J’ai séjourné dans cet hôtel ce weekend dans le cadre d’une sortie entre amis sur Bruxelles.
Idéalement situé près de la Grand-​Place, il offre un confort moderne: WiFi gratuit dans tout l’hôtel, bar et service en chambre 24 h /​24 à tarif raisonnable, chambre très agréable et lit super méga confortable, couvertures et oreillers moelleux, salle de bain complète, température agréable. Petit-​déjeuner buffet de 06h30 à 10h pour 14 € très complet.
Personnel accueillant et efficace.

Pleasant staff and very comfy beds to rest up! Next to the grand place and great places nearby. Excellent spot and very good price!

For American travelers walking through the city who need a spot to gain FREE internet wireless connection, Hotel Ibis can provide that. The concierge informed me that I could either sit in the Lobby or in the Bar and use their free wireless as I pleased. I chose to grab a bite and drink at the bar. For some reason on the day of my visit, the beers on tap were all depleted. I ended up trying some of the Belgium bottled beers, i.e. La Chouffe and Liefmans. The food was nothing great (I had the Chicken Tikka Masala), and you can get a better meal at the hotel’s surrounding restaurants.

Un hôtel bien pratique, pour passer la nuit dans le centre de Bruxelles, à deux pas de la Grand Place et, surtout, du célèbre Marché aux Poissons et ses excellents restaurants de fruits de mer.
Accueil sympathique et efficace, les chambres sont climatisées (pas vraiment indispensable dans la capitale belge…), décor standardisé mais lits confortables et état de propreté indiscutable.
Le prix de base est honnête mais il faut rajouter la taxe locale et tout le reste est — c’est dommage — en supplément (petit déj, wifi, parking).
Nous l’avons utilisé juste pour passer la nuit, c’est pratique et on sait exactement à quoi s’attendre… Pas de surprise (bonne ou mauvaise) !
Un ordinateur est disponible en accès libre mais il faut bien le chercher car il est caché derrière le bar.
