When looking for a place to stay, bear in mind that once a month (except August, and twice in October) the European Parliament is in session for the best part of a week, bringing hundreds of MEPs and their numerous entourages into town, putting all the city's facilities under pressure, especially hotel accommodation which gets block booked months ahead. The hostels, at least, are less affected, though even they play host to one or two Euro-Deputies. To find out in advance when the Parliament is sitting, contact the main tourist office. The station area has the usual clutch of hotels, some of them rather seedy. Pages in section ‘Accommodation’: Hotels, Hostels and campsite.
