Quick question. I am visiting for 4 days solo and need to get some work done remotely, so I am torn between staying near Grand Place or in Ixelles 😅
logistics_and_lagerWhere is the best location to book a hotel in Brussels

sunnyside_belgium2Depends. The Pentagon is great for walking everywhere to see the sights, but for something more residential and cheaper you should look at Ixelles or Saint-Gilles. I stayed in Ixelles last summer and it was lovely because it is less crowded than the centre but still easy to get around via STIB-MIVB. Just avoid staying right by Brussels-Midi at night for safety reasons

geography_geek_ukJust stay near the center and walk everywhere unless you want to spend all day on the metro. I tried a cycling tour last year and it was much better than navigating the tram lines 2 times in one afternoon haha
bruges_woodworkTo be right in the middle of it the Ibis Grand Place is a safe bet. It is pretty central for everything. Cheers
PunsAndBeerHonestly the center is way too loud and crowded for me. I prefer the Ixelles vibe because it is way more chill if you are trying to actually focus on work
vibe_check_be_proDo you need a place with a dedicated desk or is a cafe okay for your remote work setup
