It was well located and I was able to sleep well. The owners were very kind but were lacking a little in their organization of organization. I would stay there again if I ever went back to Brussels.

Excellent location

Fantastic location, across the street from Mannekin Pis and about a 2 block walk to the main square. Easy commute from at least two train stations. Numerous waffle, fries, and chocolate shops in spitting distance. Although on a main pedestrian street, everything quieted down before 10pm and so I had no problems sleeping. You do need to climb stairs to reach your room, so if you have mobility issues or extra large bags, this might not be for you. I travel with a backpack so a non-issue. Staff was very friendly and check-in was easy. I arrived early and they held my bag until the room was ready. Room included hair dryer, soap, and shampoo. (No conditioner, common in Europe.) Room had a safe. Room was clean, if slightly dated.

O quarto é bem espaçoso, tudo estava bem limpo, exceto pelo forte cheiro de cigarro. O hotel é super bem localizado, fizemos todos os passeios a pé e isso pra mim foi de grande importância. Me hospedaria novamente nesse hotel com certeza.

Achei muito bom ficar neste hotel, pq a localização é muito boa. O hotel é confortável e os atendentes são muito amigáveis. Só há um inconveniente, a escada que dá acesso aos quartos é muito estreita dificultando o acesso com malas.

Si non récupération de ma gourde, je ne recommande

Séjour à Bruxelles …. J’ai oublié une gourde dans la chambre … Je ne l’ai toujours pas récupéré Je n’ai pas apprécié la manière dont a été gérée la récupération de ma gourde avec l’hôtel ! Affaire en cours - à suivre …

Tuvieron muchos detalles, nos subieron las maletas y nos dejaron un regalazo la Nochevieja y se ofrecieron a guardarnos las maletas el último día. Nuestra habitación es preciosa y con vistas a Menekeen y cerca de todo. INCREÍBLE!!

Cute Place in a Great Location

My mother and I stayed here for two nights (as tourists) and we loved it. The staff member who greeted us was really friendly. She later helped us book our train tickets to Paris, which we greatly appreciated. Our room was basic but cute. The best part of this place is the super convenient location that allows quick access to various points of interest for tourists.

Location is excellent, room clean and staff great. Stairway narrow and a little intimidating when carrying luggage. I would recommend this hotel and stay here again.

一人旅むけかな？

一人旅でブリュッセルの治安も少し心配だったため立地と予算でここに決めましたが、結果正解だったな！と思いました。 ホテルと言え6部屋しかなく、まるで下宿のような感じでしたが、快適に過ごすことができました。 一人旅もしくは女性二人ぐらいで立地重視、多くを求めない人向けのホテルです。 レセプションは1階のお土産屋さんで行うため、お店が開いている時間しか対応できないようです。早朝や夜遅くなる時は事前にチェックされることをオススメします。 ホテルの方(お土産屋さんの方)は気さくで親切でした。

Le personnel est très aimable et accueillant, l'emplacement est très proche de la grand place ce qui est très pratique pour visiter à pied Bruxelles.La chambre est propre, la douche à revoir, la chambre est exiguë pour 3 personnes, difficile pour circuler. Pas de clim mais un ventilateur... si vous laissez la fenêtre ouverte, il y a beaucoup de bruit car le manneken pis est à 15 m et il y a des bars autour. Donc, cet hotel est très bien pour des personnes qui veulent tout avoir à proximité et qui ne veulent pas un "relais du silence"

2/10 Poor

I would not describe this accommodation as a "Hotel", it is more on the basis of a Hostel. To begin with, the cover picture should had been much of an indication about the property. The cover picture is what it is, the front of the store that the family also runs. The welcoming & reception area is right outside the store as there is no room inside. One you step inside, it immediately leads you to the rooms by the extremely narrow and steep windy stairs. The room is ok for one person, no more than two. The extra bed that was charged for was nothing else than a very thin mattress cot. The "double/queen" bed was two twins put together in a full size bed frame which prompted the mattresses to sink in the middle for not having the adequate size support. The rooms were superficially clean as the bathrooms had mold and the shower drain clogged. There was too much noise from the outside & guests very early in the morning. Needless to say, location did not compensate how uncomfortable this hostel was. It is classified as non-smoking rooms but due to the structure of the building/rooms, there was a lot of cigarette smoke filtering to the rooms which exacerbated my breathing problems. This is probably inappropriate to mention but on the day we needed to pay for the stay, the owner had an extremely unpleasant alcohol breath that it was hard to handle. Being that this place DOES NOT MEET the american (USA) accommodation standards, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT, not even because of location

4/10 Fair

The rooms are tiny, in very bad need of new furniture , and no elevator have a lot of luggage! the stairs up to the rooms are windy , it is VERY noisy. The street is popular into the late night because of a bar next door , and we had loud conversations floating up to our room both nights until at least 3 am

Nice simple hotel, no wifi!!! No lift. Clean and comfy, and basic. I got there late, and no-one was there, you had to phone and get a code for key box, that was realty difficult to see in the dark. But, you did get an overview of the Mannekin Pis, if that is your thing, and right in the old center
