Hilton Brussels Grand Place
Other than the location, which was great. And the cleanliness, which was fine. The hotel is just meh. There really was no difference between this place and a regular old hotel.

Warwick Grand-Place Brussels
Chutneys restaurant was disappointing for the type of hotel. A slightly glorified pub with slow, surly service and a very mediocre meal. Sorry. Eat somewhere else. Rooftop bar with funky music if you like that sort of thing.

Brussels central station is only 6 min walk , grand place was only 3 to 5 min walk . Lot of restaurants around the hotel . Gallery was only 2 min away . I would recommend to anyone who wanted to stay very local to hotel and lots of brunch / dine in places to look into it .
