Chez Esmara et Philippe

Fairy Tale Room and room is clean and nice guest service. Great location easy to city centre on foot, and near a supermarket, make up shop and shopping mall. But no elevator and I think the stair a little bit tiny. Overall, it is a amazing house.

It’s weird to book on hotels.com and end up in an AirBNB style room. This was a studio apartment in the Grande Place, which was great, but we had planned on staying at something more hotel-like. Still, a very nice place in a great location, just didn’t know what I was getting into when I booked.

Overall happy with our stay. This is NOT a hotel though, it is an apartment in a block behind a very dingy shopping centre - some of the apartments are in this shopping centre. The room itself was nice, good bed and sofa, table with 4 chairs and a kitchen with all the equipment you might need for a short stay. The toilet and bathroom are clean but in need of updating and some nice toiletries and fluffy towels would make a big difference, as would a few extra pillows. No view, just looks out onto windows of adjoining block, but only a couple of minutes walk from Grand Place. If you want a decent base for exploring the old city of Brussels, the location is great and as long as you aren’t expecting frills or luxury, this is decent accommodation. You can’t tell when booking (on this site) which apartment you are getting, so might be worth checking as I would not have been happy to stay inside the dodgy, dirty shopping centre.

Excellent location Very helpful hosts Easy walk from eurostar and all the main attractions and Christmas markets

This is an apartment rather than a hotel. Which was perfect for two of us and a 4 yr old. Loads of space, clean and tidy with the ability to self cater if you so wish.
