From Brussels Airport to the hotel: The easiest is to take the train at Brussels Airport to the "Brussels North" train station in the city center. This will cost around 10 euro and takes 10-15 minutes. There are frequent trains from the train station at the airport located on basement level -1 in the airport arrival building where you can buy tickets. Please check the information panels and/or ask when you buy the tickets which train can bring you to "Brussels North", usually this is the first stop for all trains going in the direction of Brussels. 

For more information on the train station at Brussels Airport, see attached link at the bottom of this indico page. From the "Brussels North" station you can simply walk to the hotel in about 10 minutes. Attached at the bottom of this indico page a map with a dotted line that guides you (the train arrives in the "Brussels North" station from the North). 

A taxi from the airport will cost around 50 euros and takes about 20 minutes.
