Places I've stayed in Brussels:

• Hotel Galia is a nice small hotel near the Midi train station:
  15-16 Place du Jeu de Balle
  B-1000 Bruxelles
  +32-(2)-502-42-43

• 2go4 is a hostel very near downtown and the Nord train station:
  Emile Jacqmainlaan 99
  1000 Brussels

• Sleepwell is a large and modernized hostel near the Nord train station:
  23 rue Daumier
  +32-(2)-218-50-50

Good food and drink can be found most anywhere. But a real concentration of restaurants and bars is along Rue J. Van Praet, leading west from across from the Bourse. It's lined with restuarants down either side, largely Thai and Vietnamese. At the end of that block is a small square with a couple of two-level bars. One of them is Mappa Mundi, a nice place to hang out and watch the people.

Where next?
