Esperance is a budget-friendly, boutique property situated in a historic 1930s building with a charming Art Deco tavern in lieu of a lobby. The tavern, which is open until late, features period details like geometric stained glass windows and a parquet floor. Breakfast is offered here in the morning for an extra fee. Individually decorated rooms range in style, but tend to be small and simple with modern decor and compact bathrooms, some featuring showers with transparent windows facing into rooms. Amenities include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but there's no coffee/tea service or air-conditioning. Studios, located in a nearby building, feature kitchenettes and elevator access, which the main property lacks. For an elevator and AC, the nearby Maxhotel will do the trick, though the property lacks the character of Esperance.

MAS Residence is a three-and-a-half-pearl boutique hotel that specializes in apartment-style rooms. Long-term travelers are attracted to the hotel for its 20 simple and spacious apartments with flat-screen TVs, living rooms, and kitchenettes with stocked refrigerators. Common areas are elegant, but lack features such as a restaurant, gym, spa, or business amenities. There’s not much in the surrounding area besides government buildings (a draw for business travelers), though it’s still within walking distance to the city center. As an alternative, The Hotel – Brussels doesn’t have apartments, but it does provide free minibars, a gym, a spa, and a restaurant on-site at similar rates.

Across from Central Station, the upscale Hilton Brussels Grand Place is exceptionally well-located in the heart of Brussel's historic city center between the Grand Place and the Square Meeting and Convention Center. The 224-room hotel has an on-site restaurant and bar, a 24-hour-fitness center, 17 meeting rooms, two ballrooms, and a dedicated concierge and foreign-currency exchange. Guests opting for Rooms and Suites with Executive Lounge access get free breakfast and snacks and drinks throughout the day. While the lobby, with its marble and parquet floors, gold-filigree chandelier, and floor-to-ceiling windows, is regal and elegant, the guest rooms, some yet to be renovated, are more chain-hotel standard than palatial. But all rooms include minibars, coffeemakers, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. For a smaller property with more local charm, travelers should check out the nearby Hotel des Galeries.

Located in the heart of the European district in the shadow of the mammoth Berlaymont building which houses offices of the European Commission and just steps away from the European Council, this mid-range caters to business travelers. It has 212 rooms spread out over two buildings, some of which are dated and in need of refurbishment, however, the hotel will close for two months in July 2017 to complete room updates. The city’s major tourist sights are not in walking distance of the hotel but the city center is only four metro stops away. The worn rooms and slow Wi-Fi may not make this hotel as good a value as others in the area like Thon Hotel EU and Hotel Martin’s Brussels EU which are only slightly more expensive.

The mid-range Bedford Hotel & Congress Center is a centrally located business hotel with perks including a free buffet breakfast and free, but not always reliable, Wi-Fi. Its 310 rooms have a warm atmosphere, with basic (and sometimes worn) decor, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and work desks. However, they lack tea- and coffee-making facilities and there have been reports of noise and cleanliness issues. Facilities include a restaurant and bar and a number of meeting rooms.

With two restaurants, two bars, a fitness room, and a business center, the Steigenberger Wiltcher's has plenty to offer guests, but the high fees for breakfast, and to use the pool and spa might put some people off of staying here.
