3-Star Hotels in Nossegem

One might easily be put off from this hotel by looking at the entrance on a busy road - don't be. The staff and food are terrific. Alright the rooms are basic but have everything one needs. We arrived in Brussels airport from London and took a cab to Taormina. The outside looked a bit run down but we pressed on and glad we did. The receptionist, Brian, gave us a welcome and showed us to our room which was adequate and clean with a good sized bathroom. After refreshing ourselves we went to the bar for a beer and a meal. We were asked if we wanted to go through to the rear. We walked through two well set out dining rooms, with tables all smartly laid, to a large patio area at the back of the building with many tables, suitable shading (it was a hot evening) and sat down to one of the best hotel meals I have ever enjoyed, and I have travelled the world for over 60 years. We both ordered stuffed veal in breadcrumbs, deep fried and with a mushroom sauce. There was far more than we would normally eat but we both cleared our plates. The place is obviously popular as there were a lot of diners tucking in, even so, service was prompt and done with a smile and the kind of diner/waiter rapport that only happens with experienced workers in the hospitality business. Later in our trip we had already prebooked a night at Motel One in central Brussels, what a contrast. The owners of Taormina have forgotten more about how to run a hotel that=n the owners of Motel One ever knew.
