a&o Brussel Centrum
Room was spacious, staff was excellent and helpful. Breakfast had heaps of options. The only downfall is that the hotel is located close to Gare du Nord station which is a red light area where thieves operate. Highly recommend to take a taxi. Apart from that, the hotel is excellent

Room is spacious, floor had some weird stains, and the bathroom has a frosted door which we did not find appropriate for a family. You could see the person on the toilet or undressing.
