Downtown-BXL

Brussels


Near the capital’s gay district, this B&B is superbly located if you're dancing the night away. From the communal breakfast table and help-yourself coffee bar, a classic staircase winds up to good-value rooms featuring zebra-striped cushions and Warhol Marilyn prints. One room features a round bed. Adjacent Casa-BXL offers three rooms in a more Moroccan-Asian style.
