thereuare Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Since rates seem so high i would first find the address of the conference (i think i found it via a Google search but you should confirm yourself) and enter the address at BackUpBooking.com... this will show you the hotels closest to your location and you may abe able to find something for a similar price which is close to the venue. As well, this will at least give you the "price to beat".Let us know what you find and we'll take it from there.Please use these PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to begin your travel purchases.

misterpei Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 well thanx for the reply, u do a fantastic job with this site,,,,from what I can see by searching the internet ( my first time in Brussels as well) the address for the show is at the parc des expositions which is B-1020 Belgium..... there does not appear to be hotels in the immediate vicinity,,,HUSA Presidents pask is very close and on their website their room rate lloks like 285 Euros per nite (ouch!) ,,,,but some arent that far away including the Hilton Brussels City and Sheraton Brussels Hotel...the rack rate for the Sheraton is 391 Euros per night US .........Hilton Brussels City is even worse 499 Euros/ nite.......soooo, this is very painful........not sure if u can help me, but this is what I found...thanx Link to comment
WillTravel Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Although this is still very high, if you look at venere.com, you can get a rate of 243 Euros per night at Hotel Bristol Stephanie. I don't expect this to last. Venere says it is 5*. So I suggest booking something now.Hotels.com has B Aparthotel Montgomery for 138 Euros per night. I am not sure of the 4* rating, but it might work for you. Link to comment
13Logan Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've also been looking for a place in Brussels around those dates (though I'm not going for the seafood show). Most hotels seem to be almost booked solid on April 29&30, with prices that are stratospheric in US (or Canadian, in my case) dollars.You may want to check B&Bs at www.bnb-brussels.be and other Web sites. There might still be availability at lower rates.The Parc des expositions is north and far from the centre, but close to a subway station (Heysel) and tram stops. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 So based upon the above rates/options are you willing to spend $300+ on a HOTWIRE hotel... or do you want to try bidding via PRICELINE?

misterpei Posted March 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 So based upon the above rates/options are you willing to spend $300+ on a HOTWIRE hotel... or do you want to try bidding via PRICELINE?I am not sure lol...has anyone used the guide enough to know what would get one of this hotelsif I did for example bid on one of the 4 stars??........wow, tough choices and expensive!!....tried a 4 * bid on priceline at $200 for fun, was rejected with no counteroffer,,,,, Link to comment
WillTravel Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 You can look at the list of winning Priceline hotels in Brussels to see what people have reported so far. The important thing is to look at the zone map for Brussels and decide if you would be happy with any 4* hotel that is in that zone. It's also possible you could get a hotel that has not been reported yet.What I would definitely do is book a cancellable backup hotel, if you aren't sure what you want to do, because any availability is quickly disappearing. If you are concerned about price, you probably can't be too picky about location, given the circumstances. Link to comment
misterpei Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 well, I dont see many PRICELINE winners for Brussels....no free rebidding there, so maybe i could rebid at about $260 for the 4* tomorrow night......maybe the Lake Louise one at $322 on HOTWIRE now isnt a bad deal under the circumstances....it has restaurant , business , laundry , high-speed, golf and tennis and is a 4* ..........if it is the Sheraton Towers probably is a good dealfor this particular time...on venere.com I can get Hotel Bristol Stephanie for 243 Euros, which is similiar to the 322 US I guess and is supposed to be a 5*, but I would say more like a 4* Link to comment
misterpei Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Bid again on PRICELINE tonight, $240 rejected, this is not fun lol !!! Link to comment

eaglelip Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 You can't ask for a better area. It is a 2 minute walk to the Grand Place - make sure you go in the evening to catch the light show. Ask the front desk for details. You are also a 4-5 minute walk to the central station metro. From there it is a direct metro to Heysel (expo center). The hotel has a very good reputation.
