In 2014 I stayed at the Warwick Grand Place (former Royal Windsor)
My most recent stay, (Nov 2019) in Brussels was at the Ibis Brussels Center Gare Midi ( dumpy area, clean hotel and room, good for one night stay)
Other hotels I have stayed in were
Hotel Chelton and Hotel des Colonies. Both near a metro stop, both good. IIRC , Colonies had a good breakfast.
Recently (Oct 2019) my brother stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn, no complaints.
It is up to you to check the prices

I remember reading just this about the area around Midi, and that the neighborhood surrounding Central is much more pleasant.

Just to report back, we booked at the Floris Arlequin https://www.florishotelarlequin.be/
Found a recommendation posted years ago I think by yk and it's one of the few hotels in our price range with that excellent location.

We had made a non-refundable reservation at this hotel, the Floris Arlequin ... and then corona virus hit.
The hotel is pro-actively closed thru the first few nights of our planned stay and I expected to be offered the chance to rebook.
So I was most pleasantly surprised to receive a full refund, posted to my credit card today.
They didn't have to do this but I am grateful and hope to make the visit next year.
