The center of Brussels, Grand Place forms an imposing square with opulent buildings, including the city hall. Dating back to 1523, the city's main square was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1998. Take in the grand architecture of the guild halls, and a tour of city hall. The square houses the Museum of the City of Brussels and the Brewers Museum, both of which give a good impression of the essence of Brussels. Despite its relatively small size, the square attracts more visitors than any other attraction in the European capital. Also there, Hôtel de Ville de Bruxelles.

Beautiful square, gets very crowded. Fabulous architecture, with groups of people doing random things like laying on the ground and looking up at the sky!

What a fascinating and remarkable place this is. Was really amazed to see the detailed work carved on all these buildings in this famous square. The buildings are about 400 years old but they will still give you the most amazing aesthetic view. You could go any time and stay around to get the beautiful vibes from this place. Loved it and is must visit place.

Lovely hotel. For me and my travels, the most important points that matter to me are obviously the location, followed by the quietness and comfort of the room provided. Walking into a clean, welcoming room, I next think, "Can I make a hot drink? Is there water?" On this occasion, there was not only water, but also a welcoming bottle of red wine. Very nice. Staff were fantastic. Hotel facilities are again fantastic (wicked roof bar), but for me, the best and most appreciated aspect of my stay was the breakfast. Now I know that all sounds like it's all about the food and drink, but...when you are away for work, you can't beat a proper breakfast to start your day. May be it was the titanic style presentation and the three or four well dressed staff In attendance that made it so welcoming, but definitely that cooked was better than anything I've had in my previous week of training. I suppose the only thing I didn't like was the small bath in the room. Apart from that, I definitely look forward to my next stay
