Charleroi to Brussels
 

I am flying to Charleroi soon.Can anybody tell me please the most convenient way to get to Brussels?Ryanair coach or train?
Also any ideas for accomadation in Brussels, maybe 2 or 3 star.
Thanks in advance.

Ryanair coach is the most convenient, since it leaves from outside the airport and drops you off at the rue de France entrance to the Gare du Midi.

The train also takes you to the Gare du Midi, but you have to catch a shuttle bus to Charleroi south station.

However, the train is much more civilised.

Costs are both €10 single fare.

The Ibis hotels (3 in the city) are 3 star and you can access details of these via www.ibis.fr. Also, the Ryanair website hotle booking service has some cheaper options.

Brussels is a small town, so so long as you are reasonabyly near a metro or tram stop, location isn't as important as in larger cities.

Thanks.That is very helpful.It is a long time since i have been to Belgium so am out of touch.

Have a look at www.hotelnet.co.uk they have some pretty good htls.

I stayed in the Conrad hotel when I went to Brussels. 5*, but only paid about €120 for the room! Bargain!
