This place is reviewed as good value for money, and it is. Cleanliness in the bathroom was great, bedroom was just ok (curtains and bedspread could have used a wash). Other reviewers have mentioned noise, but I didn't find it a problem on the 3rd floor with the windows closed. The space is adequate and my room was reasonably laid... More

The room was big but very basic. Looks like a mom-and-pop establishment and the staff were a little difficult to get hold of when trying to check in, and out, but once found they were very helpful! The hotel is in the perfect location though, overlooking the Mannekin Pis and subsequently all the tourists having their photos taken. It provided... More

Of all the places we went in Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg, this place was the one we enjoyed the least. It was acceptable but no more. The writeups we saw in the guidebooks led us to believe that it was more special than it was. Okay value for the money but a real let down for a honeymoon. We didn't... More

I wish I had read these reviews before booking. I would not recommend this place. While the room was fine, the location was not ideal due to the very close proximity to a primary tourist attraction, the in house gift shop and bars - crowded and noisy at all hours. Breakfast was the least pleasant of all our experiences on... More

I have to admit that we didnt enjoy our trip to Brussels, other than to say we were happy we went there once in our life. The hotel is just one part of it, but the city as a whole doesnt have much to see or do, and its really pretty dirty. If you are considering a trip to Belgium,... More

I am sad to say that I wouldn’t recommend this place. Sad, because it has certainly several positive points. It is very well situated, 20 meters across the street is the Manneken Pis. The staff is friendly, although a bit chaotic, see below. The room I had (N°1) was not very large, but very clean. The bathroom was perfectly OK,... More
