This place is ok for a budget, one night stay in close proximity to a busy part of Brussels. There’s paid parking close to this property (underground).
This is the second time for me to stay in the hotel. Staff is nice and rooms are clean. There are lots of dining options. I would come back again when I visit Brussels.
Great location; very helpful staff; room
was modern

I had a very positive stay at the Aqua Hotel. The location is excellent — just a 2-minute walk to the bus stop and underground station, and only a 15-minute walk to the center of Brussels.
The room was clean, well-ventilated, and had a great shower. The staff were friendly and very helpful, especially Mel, who went above and beyond with support, tips, and advice — she really made my stay special!
Overall, the hotel offers great value for money, and I would definitely recommend it for anyone visiting Brussels.
The room was large and comfortable. The availability of free tea/coffee machine, biscuits and fruits with water fontain in the lobby makes you really feel welcome. Staff very nice and professional
So this was a great hotel, staff were excellent and positioned about 4 stops from the main train station.
The room had alot of room and the bed was massive.
Our only problem was it had that typical bathroom door were you can see everything going on inside, plugs no where near the bed and the main lights not being that bright.
Overall great hotel to set up base in.
I loved my stay here. The location was convenient, a 15 min walk to the main area. The room was beautifully presented and clean and coming into an air-conditioned room was fantastic after a very hot day of sightseeing. The staff were also lovely, I would stay here again in the future.
Couldn’t fault this hotel. We had a wonderful stay in a family room. Very comfortable, great selection for breakfast, helpful reception staff. We would definitely visit again.
Great location, good restaurants etc around Ixelles but also right next to the centre, with a metro station direct to the Eurostar nearby. Reception were friendly. Water and coffee available in the lobby the whole time. Would stay there again.
Was a last minute booking following a mishap in the location of our planned stay. Hotel was very welcoming in all regards. Breakfast was great and location was perfect for getting around the city.
