  • This has always been my favourite spot to stay or to enjoy a refreshment at the heated terrace.
    ..............
    It's the city's only remaining 19th century hotel, perpetuating a uniquely Belgian character. It has very big rooms which are decorated in that same spirit.
    So is the beautiful lobby.
    .............
    It's terrace (heated in wintertime) is a tradition for locals and tourists even if prises are little higher :-) !!

  • Not far from the Grand-Place and shopping streets, this very friendly 4 stars hotel offers its guests the possibility to try out a Finnish sauna.
    ...............
    There are many nice restaurants such as *La Manufacture*, *Comme Chez Soi*, *Jacques*, *Au Rugbyman II* and *In'T Spinnekopje* just to mention few as well as estaminets nearby.
    ..................
    The hotel is managed by a Finn Mr. Risto Honkanen which certainly explains the genuine finnish sauna found in the hotel!

  • I was truly impressed by the quality and the originality of this small hotel I knew nothing before! I've been visiting Brussels for the last twenty years and only now I discovered the Hotel Welcome as I wanted some change from the "big" hotel chains.
    You cannot imagine what was my reaction when I entered the
    China room where I was to stay 3 nights (11/2003)- amazed!!

    What an excellent stay I had in my beloved city.

    Before leaving I had the opportunity to meet & chat with the owner Michel.I learned how he came to manage the hotel he is still improving and why he is fighting back his missing third star - his establishment highly deserved - that was taken away from him this year!

    Now I'm counting days before my next visit to Brussels in may 2004 by car and my stay in this hotel I highly recommend!


    Unique Qualities: The hotel is both unusual and surprising offering a veritable world tour for it?s discerning clientele, as each of it?s 15 rooms represents a country of the world.
    The rooms are uniquely decorated in the style of each country with genuine artefacts, some provided by previous hotel guests.

  • We stopped overnight in Brussels at this hotel-restaurant located in the Forêt de Soigne, on our way back from Normandie.

    Usually I don't like scnadinavian style modern rooms but this one was big (mini-suite) with a large terrace and windows.

    It had a well-known restaurant, so we didn't have to drive anymore that day as we were tired.

    The next morning we headed to the Woluwe Shopping center 10 min away to buy beers and other belgian goodies.

    After check-out we went to take touristic pictures of Petrus (the dog) on the Grand-Place, buy some Westvletren trappist beers from Francoise at her shop "Bier Tempel" and some Léonidas chocolates!

     Stumbled onto your great Brussels pages. Have you been back recently?
    GrantBoone Wed Jun 2, 2004 09:44 UTC
     Another high quality page Tiina. I remember the La B'casse bar from your photo!
    nomada Thu Apr 22, 2004 16:05 UTC
     Tiina, was wondering if you managed to make all that HTML disappear... hard work ;-) but what a wonderful page still... BTW, too much good restaurants to try in Brussels. Regards.
