This Ibis is in a really good location. There are actually 8 Ibis' in Brussels but for me this is the best location. 6 of them are either near the airport or in the suburbs around the Parliament. The other 1 is virtually on the Grand Place and although I have never stayed there it always seems well noisy and far too near the action for a restful nights sleep. The Ste Catherine Ibis is 10 mins walk from the Grand Place and is in an up and coming district which has a new Metro station (Ste Catherine) and is near to a rapidly improving restaurant and market area. 2 mins walk from some excellent fish restaurants and far enough away from the hustle and bustle for a bit of peace and quiet. The hotel itself, which I have stayed at twice (once for pleasure and once for work), is fine. Normal Ibis rooms. Decent sized bar with big screen for football and so forth. Good restaurant area for evening meals and breakfast and very friendly staff. I have never had a problem at this hotel on the couple of occasions I have stayed there. Would recommend it to anyone. 'Cheap as chips' as well if you book plenty in advance and go at the right time. You would be hard pushed to get a better deal so close to the centre in Brussels, which is a notoriously expensive city. If you know Brussels it's about 5 minutes walk from the Bourse.

Very good - you'll be doing one of those Google maps with pins in next.
