Cheap hotels in Ixelles, Brussels
From the snooty designer stores on Stefania Square to the bustling African neighborhood of Matongé, the Eurocrats in navy suits at the Commission to tiny Japanese noodle restaurants, Ixelles has everything it needs to be a microcosm of all that is Brussels. The neighborhood is divided the lovely Avenue Louise, the "Rodeo Drive" of Brussels, with its boutiques, art galleries and restaurants. During the day, it’s abuzz with traffic, trams and shoppers, but the area becomes much quieter at night.
Plenty of inns and hotels, mostly family-run properties, are tucked in the leafy residential areas, which are well-connected to the city center by public transit. Many offer more personalized service than the budget hotels and chain properties near the Grand Place.Rue du Prince Royal 71, Ixelles
