I would not stay near the Midi/Zuid Station. It is a sketchy part of Brussels. Stay near the Central Station instead. You are much more centrally located and in a great part of town. If you like business-class hotels (I usually don't), there is an Ibis nearby Central Station and the Grand Place.

Train connections run every few minutes between Central and Midi/South station and that ride is covered by any train ticket for departing or arriving in Brussels.

"If you like business-class hotels (I usually don't), there is an Ibis nearby" Ibis, a business class? Chain, yes. Business class, not even remotely.
