“Centrally Located - Low Budget”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My wife, 13 year old daughter, 12 year old son, and I stayed here 4 nights during the first week of August 2011. Hotel is conveniently located. It is about 200 yards from the Brussels Central Station and less than a 5 minute walk to the Grand Place. Other tourists sites such as Parc de Bruxelles, Royal Museums of Fine Arts, Royal Palace, Belvue Museum, and Manneken-Pis are all about a 20 minute or less walk away. There are also quite a few eateries nearby.

I used the hotel's website to make a reservation. There is no elevator. Rooms are located on the 2nd floor and up. I think the building has 4 floors. Check in is on the 2nd floor. We arrived about an hour before check in time. The front desk person was nice enough to store our luggage until then, but that storage space was very small. We travel with one medium luggage per person.

Our room was located next to the street. Room had a double bed, two single beds, and a nice view of the square below. There was a telephone, desk and chair, fan, and television. We slept with the window doors open. There was noise coming from the street, but we had no problem with it. If you think noise might be a problem, you might want to request a quieter room when you are making a reservation.

Hotel provides free wi-fi internet connection. Bathroom had a toilet, shower, sink, and hair dryer. Hotel provided towels and gel in shower and sink area. Change of towels were provided daily. Room had a small stand alone storage unit for hanging and storing clothes. There also was a small safe for us to use.

Breakfast was included, and it was very basic. It included croissants, sliced bread, cheese, milk, juice, coffee, and fruit cup.

Upon check out, I paid by credit card. The hotel was basic, clean, and a good enough place to stay. Also, it was very inexpensive when taking into account the great location. It was convenient for our day trips to Bruges and Paris by train. If we are ever in Brussels again, we will stay at The Moon Hotel. It also goes by the name Hotel the Moon.

“Not so good, not so bad...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel has some pros and some cons.
On one hand, it is perfectly located close to the "Grand Place", the crew is very kind and helpful. On the other hand, on some points it appears not really professionnal. I had to wait 15mn when leaving for the credit card machine that didn't work. There was no more soap in the distributor in the shower. There was only one blanket and it was really cold the first night, and on top of that, it was really noisy. The breakfast is poor: no fresh bread, no toaster,...
However, this is rather cheap for the location, and the crew is helpful if you ask for something...

“Perfect for low budget travelers”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2011

The hotel has a great location, just around the corner from the Central square. The room was rather small, but clean. It was possible to find small disadvantages still: broken balcony door, cigarette ends in the flowerpot on the balcony, noisy neighborhood. There is a pub/restaurant on the ground floor, so people have fun till midnight. After all we were rather satisfied with everything, since after a busy tourist day in Brussels you don't pay attention to those small drawbacks.
We would definitely stay there again! Good value for money spent.

Room Tip: Choose a room on 2nd or 3rd floor if possible, since there is a restaurant on the ground floor.

“Amazing location, but...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

I was looking for an hotel near the Central Station, and not too expensive. This one is the best match, and that explains why it is always fully booked. It was very quiet but well the room is far from being fancy and breakfast is a joke, I never experienced that, even in the chepest youth hostels. Still a free and good wifi connection, and that was a priority for me. Very nice working people there also.
So clearly a budget choice for this area.

“Great great location but very very noisy - Walls are paper thin!!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011 via mobile

person found this review helpful

This hotel is in a fantastic location in Brussels, literally a minutes walk from centraal station and round the corner from the grand place! Also it's a bargain for such a central location! However, the rooms are rather small and it's very loud! The balcony doors do not shut properly so whilst having a lovely view of the square outside it's a bit chilly in the room and there is lots of outside noise. The Walls are also very thin as you can hear lots of ppl around you in their rooms and coming up the stairs. Noise doesn't bother some ppl ( I rely on my trusty earplugs - they are needed) so if you are one of those then perfect bargain hotel. The breakfast isn't much, usual croissants etc. Staff on desk seem fairly nice and friendly. Overall I rate the location highly, it's fairly clean if not a tad basic the only letdown is the noise levels!
