airport to Marriot hotel near Grand Place

Any advice on how to get from airport to the Marriot Hotel. Taxi or train. There are four of us with luggage.

Thanks

Taxi is always easiest, as long as you can fit all your luggage into one, of course, rather than needing 2. It would cost about €40 from the airport, around €12 from Gare du Nord if you take the airport train (€3 each), on which this is the first stop.

The Marriott is virtually on top of Bourse (pre-)metro station, which is only 3 stops from Gare du Nord and served by underground trams (any beginning with a 3 or 4, in the direction of Gare du Midi) from both Gare du Nord and (opposite direction) Gare du Midi. However, these are not easy to manage with luggage as the older trams are high up, with narrow entrances, and there is nowhere to store luggage. A single ticket on the metro/tram costs €1.70. You can also buy a 10-trip ticket for use between the 4 of you, for €12.30, which you would stamp 4 times in the orange machine. Slightly cheaper if you go for the Mobib chipcard options.
