Ibis Styles Brussels Centre Stephanie

A simple and comfortable stay in Brussels, with a handy location for exploring the city.

Simplicity at its finest - Ibis Styles Brussels Centre Stephanie

Ah, the ibis Styles Brussels Centre Stephanie – our budget-friendly haven in the heart of the city! Sure, it wasn't the Ritz, but who needs luxury when you've got character? Splitting the rooms with Grace and I, while JJ and Toby held down the fort in the other room. The views? Well, let's just say we had a prime view of...more buildings. But hey, it added to the urban charm, right? And as for the trams rumbling by every now and then, they were like our own personal lullaby – hardly noticed amidst the excitement of our Brussels adventure.

Why we chose it

It was a solid base for a short trip: easy to get around from, and straightforward on price and comfort. Plus, let's not forget the continental breakfast buffet – a morning ritual that fueled our escapades. So, while it might not have been a five-star experience, the ibis Styles had its own quirky charm that made it a memorable part of our Brussels escapade. Three out of five stars? I'll take it – with a side of Belgian waffles, of course!
