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.
