Aris Grand-Place Hotel

Located quirkily through a Lloyd’s Coffee Eatery in the heart of the city, this hotel has the best reception staff especially Ewa (I think her name was) friendly, helpful and amusing. Rooms had were spacious and clean and everything worked a treat.

Our Eurostar train from Amsterdam to London came to a halt in Brussels and my family had to organise its own overnight stay. As I had stayed at the hotel before, I managed to get two rooms booked and took my family over there. Rather than the unintentional delay being a big negative, it became a big positive. My wife and kids had never visited Brussels, and we were able to visit Grand Place along with a nice dinner. The hotel has very nice and helpful staff, and the location is absolutely optimal!

Great location for the Christmas markets and main events. Nice to be in the old part of town on the cobbled streets. Lots of lovely shops and close to the Cathedral and Railway Station. Our room was comfortable and pleased we could have breakfast at the Hotel before heading out for the day. Staff very helpful and friendly.

The hotel itself is lovely. The room was a decent size, new bathroom and clean. Entering through the cafe was fine too, although the images online perhaps mislead you to think that this is the hotel lobby. Our two criticisms would be the lack of light in the room and the noise from outside. We stayed three nights and every night we didn't sleep due to drunk people in the roads outside, the bin collections and building work. Whilst none of these are the hotel's fault, they completely ruined our stay and perhaps the hotel could do more to sound proof the windows to help guests.

Perfect location, only a few minute's walk from the main rail station and right next door to the Grand Place. Lots of bars and restaurants around. Lovely room and bathroom.

We stayed at this lovely hotel for one night. The central location was perfect, the hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and the lively attached cafe was a great feature.

Very nice stay at this eclectic hotel with a fun, lively ambience. It is centrally located, just steps away from Grand Place. Plenty of good options for restaurants and shops nearby. The front desk staff was always ready to assist and give excellent recommendations. Make sure you try the restaurant on site. And enjoy the free, live entertainment by local musicians right outside the hotel.

Great hotel location. Very accessible to places of interests, restaurants, Christmas night market. Train station few minutes walk. Comfortable beddings, modern bathroom. Lifts available. Staff very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Laura.

We had a truly lovely stay at the Aris Grand Place Hotel during our trip to Brussels. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with a friendly and warm reception, which immediately made us feel at home. The hotel has a beautiful, festive atmosphere, especially during the Christmas season. Its central location is perfect — right in the heart of the city — making it easy to explore Brussels on foot. A real highlight was our room with a direct view of the Christmas market, which added a magical touch to our stay. The room was very clean, well maintained, and the beds were extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep. In the morning, we enjoyed an excellent à la carte breakfast with table service. The food was delicious, the staff was very kind and attentive, and we especially appreciated the calm atmosphere — no crowded buffet, but a reserved area exclusively for hotel guests in the restaurant. Another plus is the availability of many nearby parking options (paid), which made arrival and departure very convenient. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations and made our Brussels trip even more special. We would happily return and highly recommend it, especially for a cozy winter getaway.

Good central location for short stays with good lift access. Friendly, helpful staff. Nice bathroom and swift breakfast service.
