Thon Hotel Brussels City Centre

I stayed at this hotel during my Brussel trip. It's a very nice hotel! It's clean, has a nice bar and it's in the middle of Brussel-centre.

THON Hotel is located right in the center of Brussels along Avenue du Boulevard, just a couple of steps from Gare Du Nord Station and about 12km away from the airport. In fact, Grand Place is only 8 minutes away which makes it an ideal hotel location specially for travelers on the move.

The 3-star hotel is big (the 2nd largest hotel in Brussels according to their website, not surprising at all!) with spacious lobby area and hallways. The red-colored room was appealing to me and in comparison larger than other European hotels . The amenities are modernly-equipped and the facilities are of standard. The service was nice and warm, except that there were not too many staff around.

Talk about the downside. Some unnoticeable parts of the hotel were falling apart with some cracks visible and wallpapers coming off. And although the general sorrounding was fine, it wasn't so clean for most parts (like dark rug areas), which I guess was reflective of how many people had come and gone. At least the beds were made and the linens were new and clean, that was the most important.

Right outside the hotel are several other cafes and retaurants serving traditional belgian fare with optional belgian beer of course.

The hotel offer special rates depending on the time of stay so it is recommended to check their website for specifics. I remembered paying less than Euros100 per night.

Still recommendable for business and leisure.
