This hotel is absolutely lovely. It is an old building with lots of period features (check out the old radiator in the breakfast room). Its clean and very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I stayed here for 3 nights whilst attending a conference. There is access to the internet (I had my own laptop) which cost mw 5 euros for 2 days. It pretty much has everything you would need - however if you like to use a hairdryer then you need to bring your own as the room doesn't have one.

This is a place where I have been for many years and, even though a few things were not perfect, I found it nice; now, a new management is in place since the beginning of 2011 and it is a complete chaos: no breakfast available and no service whatsoever before 7.20 in the morning instead of 7, employees being completely lost, was asked to pay in cash as soon as I arrived - because the credit card machine did not work- , etc... It looks like I will have to find a new hotel in Brussels

Les Tourelles is a traditional looking nice hotel. It has nice personnel. The landlord speaks French, English and Dutch. It is situated on a quiet lane in a good residential quarter.
The rooms are standard. They could be kept a little tidier but you don't have much street-noise.
Public transport (e.g. tramway 23 with connection to pré-metro 3; bus line 60) stops before the hotel with good connections to the town-center and to the northern parts of the city.
