I would like to know which hotel is more convenient or easier to transfer to take the train to the airport in the morning for a 1030am international flight?
I have one free night in Hilton and plan to book one more night in Amigo, I am unsure which hotel should I stay in for the first day and the second day,
in regard to the location.
We arrive by train from Paris (pressume at Midi Station) on a Wed,
leaving by plane on a Fri morning.
Pls shed some light.

The Brussels Hilton (assuming it%26#39;s not the %26quot;City%26quot; one) is near metro station Louise which is 3 stops from Midi - line 2, direction Simonis - where you arrive on Thalys from Paris.
The Amigo is about 10 minutes walk from Gare centrale, one block from the Grand%26#39; Place (behind the Town Hall). If you must stay in 2 different hotels, therefore, I think I would do it in this order although it would be better still not to move!

THANKS!!! well i dont have enough points to stay two nites in Hilton (not City), i just found out i have points for a nite. so do you suggest i first stay at Hilton then the next day move to RF Amigo, i will leave from Amigo to the Airport on the third morning.
do you know which station does the train leave for Bruges? we plan to spend half a day there, wonder should we tour Bruges after we arrive from Paris n check in to hotel or we should go the next day!
what are the important attactions in Brussels not to miss?

Oh one more question, should we take taxi or use metro to move from HILTON to Amigo? how much approx. would taxi charge be? I check on the map, it%26#39;s seems like 5-6 blocks away, but unsure of the traffic direction. Thanks =)

I already answered the first of your additional questions.
You can go to Brugge (as to the airport) from any of the 3 main stations in Brussels, that is Midi, Central or Nord. I%26#39;m sure you can decide for yourself when to go to Brugge depending on how much time you have on either day (you don%26#39;t say what time you arrive but I would guess it will only leave you half a day) and how you feel at the time. The train to Brugge takes an hour.
If you look on the left you will see %26quot;Things to do%26quot; which means in Brussels, since you are in the Brussels forum. The list comes from TA members%26#39; own ratings.
I also said there is no direct connection from the Hilton to the Amigo. By taxi it would cost less than €10 but if these are %26quot;5-6 blocks%26quot; apart, this is as the crow flies (over the Parc Egmont!) and certainly not as the taxi would have to travel, which would probably be via the Sablon and then it gets a bit tricky with the one-way system. By metro you would have to change at Arts-Loi (line 2 direction Simonis then line 1 direction Erasme/Roi Baudouin) and the metro side of Gare centrale is a few minutes walk from the railway station (connected by a long corridor), from which it is a 10-minute walk to the Amigo.

THANKS A MILLION! I will sit down and plan it all over again on the hotel choice
