Hotel Floris Avenue

I read reviews prior to reserving the rooms and the main thing that concerned me are the negative comments about the neighborhood. We had absolutely no problem with the neighborhood. It was not the touristy/rich area that you would pay a price for, but if you don't really care about that, this place is great. It was a little poorer of a neighborhood but VERY convenient to all the sites and I never felt unsafe. The hotel itself was very nice. Breakfast was pretty good (just skip the scrambled eggs). Our room was much much bigger than we expected. We did have a couple of issues with the room. The tub didn't drain well and there was a pair of someone's socks left under the bed from the people who were there before us. It didn't make me feel that they did a very good cleaning between guests. Besides that the room seemed very clean and the people that worked there were very helpful and nice. I would recommend this hotel despite the few "issues".

I had read in a few places that people thought this Hotel was in a bad location. I don't agree. It is literally a 5-10 min. walk (4 to 5 city blocks) walk from the Grand Place \ Manniken Pis etc. Were there some neighborhood drunks? Yes! But that doesn't automatically make it a bad neighborhood. Our only complaint is that we were itching after sleeping in the bed. We weren't sure if it was a bad reaction to the laundry detergent used or if it was bed bugs(my wife was convinced of the latter). We were only here for a weekend and the free wi-fi Internet (in the lobby) was a great plus. We would probably stay here again.
