Going via London and the Eurostar. Wheres best place to stay? Anyone know how far the stop is for the Euro Star to the actual centre?

Looking on booking.com for a hotel it appears the Eurostar stop area is out of the centre?

Think it goes to Brussels midi station which is pretty central Brussels . We going on the 11am from London . Prob going to get a city center apartment . Try airbnb . Really good for private lettings . Seem to be a lot of decent ones in Central Brussels too

I'm thinking of taking the missus for a nice weekend. You know, soften the blow when I say I'm off to watch the game.

Any tips Spikey on a hotel with a lot of class. She can use the spa while I'm gone.

Preferrably somewhere away from my type and other city fans. ;)

Yes, I know........ I'm whipped.

Can get a twin room in the Ibis in St Catharines for £98 for two nights so thats not even £50 each. Will check out the others mentioned before booking but I cant see us beating that price.
