 Hotel bar-comfy seats to the
right of photo. by diosh, 2 more photos
Fortunately the hotel was warm and welcoming.
We dumped our bags and headed for the bar.
We had a few beers in the comfortable bar area before going off in search of dinner.
Breakfast on our first morning, was a buffet style layout offering every delicacy one would hope for.
Lovely French bread, brown breads, sliced bread, cheeses, ham, sausage,fruit, yoghurts, cereal, etc, etc.
Many drinks to choose from, including fresh orange juice, coffee, several types of tea--herbal, English Breakfast,(which we had, of course)green and mint tea, among others.There was also hot chocolate on offer too.
So we loaded our plates and settled down for a great sustaining meal. Theme: HotelComparison: about averageDirections: Overlooking the St Catherine church-near to centre.

 Ibis Ste Catherine by Synch_X
I felt that this hotel was just the right kind for those doing a lot of sight seeing, as we did, which is why we were only ever there in the morning and last thing at night, as we spent our time looking around the city and it's fantastic surroundings. The metro is in close proximity to the hotel (2 min walk), which was great as we could get around the city quite easily.
It has a perfectly good bar, for those that like to drink till late, and in the morning the breakfast area is open for you to go around and help yourself to cereals, toast, croissants, tea, coffe and the like. The rooms are kitted out with a TV (which shows various european channels), toilet, shower, towels and a phone (for room service). The hotel also books any tour service that you want to go on and you pay them for it (as oppossed to paying the tour company), we took a tour to Gent and Brugge from there (which was definately worth it).

We took a taxi from Central station because we were a bit unsure where to go at first. But to find it, you can just exit the station and walk downhill. Once you come to the Grand Place square, exit out the opposite side by the Bourse Bruxelles museum. Cross over and walk down the street just to the right of the Bourse, a couple of blocks. You'll come to a large square with a church, which is St. Katherine. Pass the church on it's right and near the back of it is Rue Joseph Plateau. the Ibis is up that short street.
The check in staff wasn't entirely friendly but weren't rude. Borderline i'd say but not as helpful as some in my experience. When we checked out, they do have a locked room for the luggage but you can rent lockers in it if you want. We didn't and just left our stuff in it and it was ok.
The hotel was ok, but we probably would choose something else next time.
The room was a good size, king size bed. The bathroom, however, was quite small and in order to get out of the corner shower, you had to open the bathroom door because the shower doors opened up right against the bathroom door. Not a whole lot of room to move around but adequate.
We thought breakfast was included, when we asked if it was, the desk clerk told us the breakfast hours. Maybe one of us misunderstood but in the end, we were charged 15 euro per person for the buffet breakfast, standard hotel cost but it wasn't expected. When we checked out, we didn't argue the cost because we figured there was crossed wires somewhere.
The Place St. Katherine is a great place if you're a seafood fan. Lots of restaurants specializing in that and there is a Metro stop there as well. Theme: HotelPrice: US$80-120 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: Just off Place St. Katherine
