The hotel was of a good quality as you would expect from a Mercure. It is on the older side, in terms of fixtures, but was very clean. The location is convenient for the train station, and you can walk into the heart of Brussels in about 25 minutes but, the area is like most train station locations, a bit grotty. The hotel is an oasis in amongst the mess, once you walk through the doors you can cast off the city streets.
