Aris Grand Place Hotel

Brilliant location right in the city and easy to access central station and metro. Easy access to Grand Place and Galleries. Room nice and warm for a cold February visit. Appreciated the kettle and big mugs for our morning cuppa! Great shower. Arrived early and staff secured our bags for us and felt very safe. Lovely view of spire of grand place from our room.

Myself and my girlfriend absolutely loved this hotel! The hotel is in such a perfect location. It is within a 5 minute walk to and from the train station - which was fantastic since we arrived into Brussels late, and allowed us to explore other Belgian cities like Ghent and Bruges during our stay and not worry about a long walk back to the hotel! - and it is situated only a short walk from Grand Place and all the restaurants, bars, and the lively parts of the city. In the morning and evening you can hear the various street performers which was a delight as it really made the city feel alive and buzzing! We did not find any of the noise to be an issue at all. The staff were excellent, they made us feel so welcome as soon as we arrived and our check-in was smooth and easy. I had arranged their romance package to celebrate my partners birthday upon arrival and it was set up beautifully - thank you! The hotel is very safe feeling, once the café closes down the only way to access the hotel is with your key card, and the only way to activate the elevator is to again scan your key card before choosing your floor. The room also has an alarm like buzzer that alerts you if your door does not close all the way which was a great reassurance that we were locked up safe for the night. The room also came with a safe. When we checked out we were also allowed to leave our bags and we received a ticket to collect them when we needed. The bed was so comfy, the shower was perfect, and the room came with A/C. All of which added up to a comfortable stay! If I am ever to stay in Brussels again I will definitely be booking with this hotel. Thank you for an excellent stay!

Good location Staff very friendly and professional Clean and tidy Breakfast was lovely The hotel reception is at the back of the coffee shop, so just walk through. We did arrive early, but the lovely staff checked us in and we left our luggage and went off exploring until our room was ready. Lots to see and all within walking distance, we’d recommend a good pair of comfy shoes!

We actually did not stay at this hotel. We were moved to their sister Hotel, The Alma, the day we arrived. We were told there were experiencing mechanical issues. So, I am rating The Alma, which is a few blocks from the Aris. We got a large room on the top floor, looking across the roof tops to the Grand Plaza. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The bathroom is outdated however it was functional and clean. The staff were helpful and friendly. The location was perfect, 5 minutes from the train station, two blocks from the Grand Plaza.

The hotel is about 100m from the Grand Place as the name would suggest, so right in the middle of town. The ground floor is a cafe, which was busy all the time. Reception was excellent with perfect English, which made life very easy. Door had a discrete alarm that reminded you if the door wasn't properly shut, reminded me more than once to close it.
