The lower-middle-range Floris Ustel Midi, housed in four renovated Art Nouveau buildings near the Midi train station, covers the basics. Its 114 rooms are modern if a bit utilitarian-looking, but not all have air-conditioning, and some show wear and tear. Larger rooms include mini-fridges. A breakfast buffet is included in the room rate, and gluten-free options are available for an extra fee. A relaxation lounge packs in iMacs, an Xbox, a pool table, and a reading corner, and a lovely outdoor patio beckons in the warmer months. The location is a little off the standard tourist track in a neighborhood that can feel a little gritty -- some guests have reported feeling uncomfortable walking around there. Travelers could consider Motel One, which has a hip design, lobby bar, and a location that’s closer to the Grand Place and Central Station.

This hip, upscale hotel with 60 rooms is a 10-minute walk from the Midi train station, in a mixed-use neighborhood consisting of hotels, cafes, and businesses. Its aesthetic calls to mind a nightclub; the common areas, hallways, and rooms have shiny black surfaces, avant-garde artwork, low lighting, and metallic accents on lamps, bars, and walls. Generally the rooms get high marks for bed comfort and cleanliness, though there have been complaints about street noise. A few visitors have also noted that the surrounding area can feel deserted at night.
