Stylish and modern, the lower-middle-range Meininger Hotel Brussels City Center is part hotel, part hostel, with more than 700 beds occupying 150 rooms, which range from private singles to family rooms to 10-bed dorms. Rooms are sparse but trendy, with en-suite bathrooms. The property has a hip on-site bar and lounge, along with laundry facilities and a communal kitchen. Breakfast is available, though it costs extra. Despite its name, the hotel isn't exactly in the city center, which is about a 15-minute walk from the property, and some guests find the immediate area a little sketchy, particularly at night. Dorm rooms attract groups, which leads to some noise complaints. Travelers seeking a hotel closer to the heart of the city may prefer the Hotel Saint Nicolas, though it doesn't offer dorm rooms and decor is basic.
