Concierge "The blandest of names gives entirely the wrong impression of this 17-room gem in the Lower City's cute, cobblestoned Sainte-Catherine district."
Fodor's "The rooms, divided into economy, business, and first class, are as comfortable as those in far more expensive establishments." Full review
Lonely Planet "The wooden-panelled reception area does nothing to prepare guests for the full-colour decor in each uniquely designed room transporting you to, say, Tahiti, Congo, Cuba or Zanzibar." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Situated in a peaceful location to the north of Place Ste Catherine (the city’s old fish market), Hotel Welcome sits in the midst of some fabulous fish restaurants."
Frommer's "The name of this gem of a hotel, overlooking the Fish Market, couldn't be more accurate, thanks to the untiring efforts of the husband-and-wife proprietors." Full review

"The upper-middle-range Hotel des Galeries is in a mid-19th century heritage building, a short walk to one of Brussels' main railway stations, the metro, and many top attractions." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This upbeat boutique hotel, plumb in the middle of one of the most attractive parts of central Brussels, combines smart hospitality with character." Full review
Monocle "each of the 20 rooms and three suites retains the former shopping arcade's parquet floors and shuttered windows."
Independent "There’s plenty more going for Hôtel des Galeries, for one its well-loved restaurant and two its location in Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, a covered walkway dating back to the 19th century"
