I suppose if you really wanted, there are a couple of hotels within 15-25 minutes walking, but there is nothing closer - I've looked in previous years. I was volunteering and knew I wasn't going to be in a state to go eat out after. In the end I just picked a nice and reasonably priced (rather than close to ULB) hotel, and used a taxi app called eCab - it worked very well.

So just an openstreetmap or google maps search like https://www.google.co.uk/maps/search/hotels+near+Solbosch+Campus,+ULB,+Bruxelles/@50.8259147,4.3535337,14z/data=!3m1!4b1 yields a few. Make sure to confirm each hotel's exact distance to the ULB Solbosch campus of course.

Actually, I believe you'll find that whereas the city center is a fairly
touristy region, and that as a result there are quite a number of hotels
to be found in the neighbourhood, the same cannot be said for the
environment of the Franklin Rooseveltlaan and the Campus Solbosch, and
that as a result there are simply not that many hotels in the region of
the ULB.

If you really want to stay within walking distance of the ULB, I think
your best bet is to use something like couchsurfing or AirBNB.
