EuroCheapo review print this page

On the charming Rue Marché aux Poulets, a few blocks south of the Grand Place, the Hotel Saint-Nicolas offers 60 rooms in a 19th Century structure. While we were initially attracted by the hotel's art deco building and lively vibe, it was the reasonable rates that really spoke to our inner Cheapo.

Rooms at Nicolas have matching curtains and bedspreads, typically in bright colors. Admittedly, these furnishings feel caught between retro and 80s, but overall, rooms are amply proportioned by European standards. We most enjoyed the simple rooms, dressed in paler, peach colors. Other rooms are decorated in a rose-inspired theme, while a few are just plain sassy with bright pink accoutrements. Triples are spacious.

Many bathrooms have tubs. Bright white or beige tiles sparkle and large mirrors give you a space to do your make-up, check out your new outfit, or just pose.

The staff is friendly and, when we visited, were more than willing to greet guests with tourist advice and the like.

About the Saint Nicolas neighborhood

The Grand Place, Brussels' main square, dates to the middle ages and is still home to the city's Town Hall, built in 1402. The square is the heart of the city, and most tourists use the square as a reference point and meeting spot. The square is lined with many of the city's original Gothic-Baroque guild houses, which are incredibly photogenic.

The area surrounding the Place is busy with hotels, cutesy cafes, restaurants, and chocolate shops. On the eastern side of the square, the Tin Tin store offers pajamas, posters and more, all emblazoned with the famous blond-headed boy. From the western edge, meander down cobblestone streets until you reach Boulevard Anspach, where the old Bourse building holds center stage.
