Just wondering if anyone else is booking a hotel (who hasn't already done so that is) and if so, if they care to divulge which one? I was thinking about this in terms of sharing a cab to the bistro.......? | | |

I'm just now starting to think about booking a hotel. And SN Brussels Airlines has a seat sale from/to Berlin. How far have you gotten? | |

is what I'm looking at for now, also because they have a parking garage on site which is appealing. The price is also decent on bookings.be. | | |

Looks fine. 69 € for a single/double room. Breakfast is a little expensive for 19,00 €. hrs.de has the same price for that night. Is there nobody from Brussels who knows an acceptable hotel near the X-it Brasserie? | | |

breakfast was a bit pricey - there were quite a few hotels in that price range and also a couple near the brasserie - maybe writeaway could put us on the right track??? )) | | |
Writeaway or anybody from Brussels as a matter of fact. For 19,00 € you can have a wonderful breakfast anywhere else. Or a normal but fast breakfast at the King of the grill with the Scottish name for less. ) I have to say that the quality of the rooms at the NH is very nice. At least in Cologne... | |

NH in Amsterdam is also quite nice and that's true about the breakfast option though I know a nicer place on the grote markt (grand place) that's got great huge mugs of coffee......anyways, suggestions are open - centre is a good location for other reasons as well writeaway??? | | |
Hi Allison ;-) | Feb 1, 2005 |
If you are driving and want to stay near the Grand Place/Grote Markt, then make sure the hotel can provide parking. What hotels did you find near the brasserie? | | |
accomodation offer | Feb 2, 2005 |
can offer accomodation to one or two colleagues the night before and/or the night after the powwow | | |
accommodation offer | Feb 3, 2005 |
I can also offer to put up one person before and/or after the powwow (no car but bus to Brasserie and city centre/rwy stations easy access by bus.) | |

sylvie malich (X) Germany Local time: 06:01 German to English What about Sunday? | Feb 4, 2005 |
I'm planning on flying in on Saturday and flying out on Sunday. I can either fly out in the am or the pm. Seems a shame to just leave without seeing the city. Anybody feel like an outing on Sunday? What do you suggest, writeaway? | | |

Well, there are so many things to d and to visit in Brussels that I'm sure you will find soemething, no doubt on that ! It depends of course what you want to do, but Grand'Place, Mannekepis, and the rest are easy to find ! Also don't forget to try the cooking in Belgium, also on Sunday ... Choose a good restaurant and take your time to taste the food ... | | |

My (local) advice would definitely be for people to stay 'in town' - Boitsfort is very quiet and residential. X-it, however, is very easy to get to from Beaulieu metro station (Line 1A, direction Hermann-Debroux) – comfortably under ten minutes on foot from there. Alternatively, the yellow 95 (to ‘Heiligenborre’) and 96 (to ‘Sainte-Anne’) buses leave every ten minutes or so from alongside the Bourse, in the heart of 'downtown', and will deposit you nearby.

Get off at ‘place Keym’. Or you can get a taxi; however, seeing as this is Brussels, you'll probably have to tell the driver the way, yet will still end up paying a king's ransom upon arrival... Alas, I can't offer to put anyone up as we have family over from GB that same weekend. ▲ Collapse | | |
