This is the best possible location in Brussels. Five min. walk from the central train station. Right in the city center. Once we arrived we walked everywhere. Check in was easy. The room is in a hotel and you are given key cards which access the front door of the hotel as well as the room. My wife and I had a 6 am flight and were able to use hotel's express check out at 4 am. There is also a taxi que right next to the hotel and we were able to take a cab to the airport. It was 50 euro and took 20 minutes. Would highly recommend this place.
