In Brussels again working. Stayed at an Ibis I haven't stayed in before. Its the Ibis which is nearest to the Gare De Midi railways station which is where the Eurostar terminates. Its literally across the road from the station. The hotel is fine. Clean and with suprisingly big rooms. You can tell from the photo that some of the rooms have a single bed as well as a double. By far the biggest Ibis room I have ever stayed in.Pro- Cheaper than the other more central Ibis's in Brussels. Close to the Eurostar terminal. Clean. Friendly reception staff.
Cons - The area around the hotel is a bit seedy. Not badly but typically like the area round most railway stations in most cities. Didn't feel threatened but not sure i would spend an awful lot of time walking round the area on my own after dark. Its also not as central as the St. Catherine and Grand Place Ibis's. Central that is to the old medieval part of Brussels. Its about 20 mins walk from the Grand Place and about 10-12 euro in a cab. Railway station just across the road of course where there is a Metro station as well. I would happily stay again but not if the St Catherine was available.
