MEININGER Hotel Bruxelles City Center occupies a former brewery from 1912, a red-brick industrial building beside the Brussels-Charleroi canal, on the edge of the centre. It mixes private rooms, from twins to family rooms, with dorms, including a female-only dorm. There is a well-equipped guest kitchen for self-catering, a bar and lounge, a game zone and bike rental. Breakfast is served daily, with vegan options. Reception is open around the clock. The Grand-Place and Manneken-Pis are within walking distance across the canal, and the lively Dansaert area is close by.
Living in it: book a private room for privacy or a dorm bed for the lowest price. Families get a discount on rooms, and the kitchen helps keep costs down.
Base math: rates are among the lowest for a central-ish base in Brussels. It suits families, groups, students and budget travellers who want a clean, sociable place to sleep. The canal side is changing fast and is busy by day; at night, stick to the main bridges and streets when walking back from the centre.
