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.
