About this place Van Der Valk Hotel Brussels Airport

Van der Valk Hotel Brussels Airport is a large, modern hotel in Machelen, just outside Brussels and a few minutes from the airport. It is a mainstream hotel listed here as gay-friendly. Facilities include rooms and suites, a Mediterranean restaurant, a sushi bar and a free airport shuttle. It is well rated (4.1 from about 3,700 Google reviews) and mostly used for early flights, conferences and stopovers. Central Brussels is around 20 to 30 minutes away by train or taxi, so it is not ideal if you plan to spend evenings in the city's gay scene around Rue du Marché au Charbon.

Lack of labeling on the ingredients of the dishes. The buffet concept is nice and there's a good selection, but the labeling of the dishes is really lacking. No information about the ingredients or allergens is displayed in front of the containers. When you have dietary restrictions or allergies, it becomes a real gamble. A simple little pictogram or a list of ingredients on the labels would make all the difference and reassure customers.

We stopped here as part of our Shearings river cruise holiday, where it was used as an overnight stopover while on our return. So 126 guests all arriving at the same time was probably quite stressful for the hotel team, however our room is large with a big bed, walk in shower in a spacious bathroom, all exactly what was needed. An evening meal was available (extra cost) whilst breakfast was included. Not somewhere to stay for an extended period but great for our needs, so definitely recommended 👍

I stayed at the Van Der Valk Hotel Brussels Airport and really enjoyed the experience. The hotel is very well located near the airport and train station. The rooms are very spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated, and also have the great detail of having a coffee machine and kettle available, which is always very handy. The buffet meal service proved to be quite varied and of high quality. One of the hotel's greatest strengths is undoubtedly the staff. They were always very friendly, helpful and demonstrated great ease in communicating with groups, mastering several languages. It was an excellent surprise to even find Portuguese employees working there, which made the service even more welcoming and familiar. I recommend it.

Slept here for an early flight. Had a good meal, friendly service. Slept wonderfully and was taken to the airport during the night with their shuttle bus. Everything was arranged perfectly.
