Hotel Gresham Belson - Brussels

Good hotel, wireless LAN was included in the price (not yet very common in Brussels). At arrival at the airport you give the hotel a short telephone call and they will send you a shuttle car to take you to the hotel (also included in the price!). There are a number of smaller restaurants in the area, but its generally not a very nice part of the city (a kind of suburb exactly in between the airport and down-town). Nevertheless, the direct bus No. 12 to down-town (incl. the EC quarters) may be reached in appr. 10 minutes walk. The hotel itself is quiet, but due its vicinity to the airport, I could here the first flights coming in at 6 a.m.

I was in the hotel for 2 nights, in a business trip. According with the web page, there was a van available at the airport on demand, saving any trouble of initial transportation. The hotel, rooms and personal were correct, as expected. The neighborhood is just ok. It’s near the airport and far from the historical center and the European buildings, but both easily reachable by bus. This hotel offers a very good ratio price-quality, including free internet access in the room. I truly recommend this place.

The hair dryer was not the quality I expected

Firstly, when i arrived at the hotel they wanted to block my card for excess expenditure (which is apprently normal in some hotels.) I think they thought i was a bit 'young' looking so they attempted to fob me off with a twin room when i had ordered a double executive room. I then complained and was rightly placed in the correct room. My stay then was amazing, great bed, bathroom is massive, leather sofa. The twin room was relatively small but the beds looked really comfortable. I highly recommend executive double. Regarding location we had a hire car so we could get around easily so i am not sure about public transport.

You must indicate the cost of the internet wireless in the rooms. The telephone connection to the other states (eg italia) is too expensive! I think that the gresham belson hotel of bruxelles must be a 3 stars and not a 4 stars.

Internet access is NOT free and very expensive (10 Euro/hour). Hotel is very far from the city center and the hotel shuttle takes you only to offices nearby; however there is a bus line connecting to the city center (about 30'). Nice and cheap restaurants nearby.

The motel was very nice with great shuttle service to and from the airport. There were a few little places to eat as the motel resturaunt was very expensive.
