Guest Reviews
- Bahar (5/5): - Konumunu ve çalışanlar sıcak kanliydi Temizlik ve otel çok gürültülü ve çok küçük odalar
- Willy Siqueira (8/5): - O hotel é muito bem localizado, bem no centro da cidade, em frente ao Manekin. O hotel parece antigo mas os quartos são amplos e confortáveis. Banheiro grande, com ducha forte e quente. Camas e travesseiros bons. Próximo encontramos uma variedade de lojas e restaurantes. Fica a 5 minutos a pé da praça central. Vale muito a pena. O atendimento é muito pratico e rápido e o acesso é direto na porta colocando um código que te passam quando vc chega. Isso permite que vc entre e saia quando quiser. Como de costume sem elevador, mas já sabíamos disso e não estragou nossa experiência. Não possui também um louge ou recepção, o acesso é direto aos quartos.
- Hull (10/5): The staff was kind and our stay was comfortable. - The hosts went above and beyond to help me when I had a medical issue. They could not have been more helpful and supportive. It was a little noisy, and the stairs were steep, but the kindness of the staff made up for it.

- Isabelle (8/5): Emplacement exceptionnel, le personnel accueillant - Emplacement exceptionnel

Le personne accueillant
- Adeline (9/5): Séjour agréable et hôtel très bien situé. - Hôtel très bien situé juste à côté du Manneken Pis. On accède à la grand-place et aux musées très facilement en une dizaine de minutes à pied seulement. Le personnel est très agréable et nous a même proposé de garder nos bagages le jour de notre départ pour que nous puissions aller nous balader. Le petit-déjeuner est servi dans la chambre et est relativement copieux. La chambre est plutôt bien insonorisée vu l'emplacement très touristique. Le petit plus : la boutique souvenirs juste en bas de l'hôtel où on peut trouver notre bonheur.
- Johana Edith (10/5): Enamorarse desde el balcón - El lugar muy céntrico , es muy bonito hay ambiente y puedes disfrutar Las camas son unipersonales y a cada rato si te mueves como que se daña todo
- Thomas (7/5): -
- Wolfgang Leopold (8/5): Perfekte Lage im Zentrum - Absolut zentrale Lage, direkt gegenüber des Manneken Pis.
- Mary (8/5): I’d recommend. - good location and decent place. It was nice that someone was there to check us in and out. My bed wasn’t the most comfortable.
- Bacchetta (8/5): -
- Ignacio (10/5): - El hotel está localizado en una zona muy céntrica y tiene un gran encanto. Si bien sabíamos que no había ascensor, las escaleras son un tanto estrechas.
- Reinaldo (7/5): - Localização Escadas muito íngremes para subir malas.
- Andrea (7/5): No está mal aunque por el precio miraría otro hotel - La ubicación es genial aunque hay ruido. Estaba muy limpio. Habitación de buen tamaño El hotel al ser tan antiguo es incómodo y la escalera es difícil y estrecha. No hay apenas personal con la que hablar. Había bastante ruido por la noche aunque es normal debido a la ubicación
- Aastha17 (10/5): - The staff are super kind and attentive. The location could not be better- I could walk to all the main train stations. Very lively street!
- Joanna Kilcoyne (10/5): -
- ornella (9/5): -
- Uzma (10/5): - Excellent customer service
- Alfred (9/5): Es war wunderschön. Nur das Wetter hätte was schöner sein können. - Ein sehr uriges Hotel. Die Steilen Treppen.
- Irene S. G. (7/5): - La ubicación inmejorable y con buenas vistas.
El hotel está reformado (a medias).
Camas cómodas. Las escaleras estrechas y empinadas.
La ducha tiene una alcahofa fija que no se puede mover.
- Franciscus Michael (10/5): -
- Darina (8/5): Malý hotelík s výbornou polohou. - Malý, útulný hotel, veľmi príjemný personál. Vstup vo večerných hodinách na kód fungoval výborne. Veľmi strmé a úzke schody do izieb sú jediným obmedzením pre niektorých ľudí. Inak všetko čisté, kúpeľňa a kozmetické prostriedky dostačujúce. Postele pohodlné. Kúrenie funkčné a ľahko nastaviteľné. Hotel má výbornú polohu. Raňajky prinesú len na izbu, ale určite sa oplatili.
- Jonathan (8/5): - Rue bruyante
- Fedor (10/5): - Perfect location near the Manneken Pis. Nice clean spacious room with comfortable bed. Easy check-in, friendly hosts. Blackout curtains keep out light from the street. A bit old bathroom.

- Murrells (7/5): Hotel in great location, was good value for money, and the staff helpful. Would stay again - Location was excellent, staff friendly and the room good value for money I think some facilities could be upgraded i.e. a kettle and tea/coffee facilities in the room would be a good improvement. Also, when we first checked in the room we were allocated clearly had a broken shower door. We were given another room which was good. However the shower in that room may need tightening or fixing as the shower head wasn't working properly.
- cheloariosa (6/5): Regular falta renovacion - Ubicación INSTALACIONES
- antonella (8/5): Assolutamente da ripetere!!! - La posizione eccellente!!
Lo staff gentili e disponibili
Consigliatissimo, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
- Σοφια (8/5): -
- Ventseslava (8/5): -
- jose alfredo (7/5): Buena ubicación pero no volvería - La ubicación muy buena!! Frente a manekeen pis ! Subir los 3 pisos por unas escaleras super angostas y el no tener desayuno baja unos puntos
- Naci Atanur (1/5): -
- Sherkhan (9/5): -
- Lena (8/5): - Piccolo affitta camere grazioso e caratteristico proprio nel cuore del centro storico proprio sopra alla famosa Stata del Manneken Pis e vicino alla GRand Place
Molto.. consigliato!!!! Essendo una costruzione antica del centro per salire alle stanze c e' una scalinata a chicciola un pochino scomoda da fare con i bagagli
- Quliyev (6/5): Good location, but very narrow hall and rooms - Its location is good If you have big luggage, you shouldn’t book🥲
- Cansel (8/5): - Tesisin konumu mükemmel. Tam merkezde her lokasyona yakın yürüme mesafesinde. Olabildiğince temiz . Eski bir yapı olduğu için oda konusunda beklenti çok yüksek tutulmazsa konaklama için ideal.
- Merve (8/5): - Free hot and cold water with tea and coffee options at the entrance.
No need for public transport, the location makes your trip so easy and comfortable.
Well heated room even mine was at the terrace. Bonus, good sight as well. No elevator, but otel staff help you to carry the luggage.
- William (10/5): The hotel was in an excellent tourist area with lots of restaurants nearby - Central location. The stairs are steep
- Froukje (10/5): -
- Nadia (10/5): - Emplacement. Personne à l'accueil. Chambre calme. Bonne literie. Rien.
- Dunia (10/5): -
- Liliana (8/5): Camera arată ca în poze, însă este nevoie de mai multă atenție la curățenie. Era praf, iar baia nu era suficient de cura -
- Malinka (8/5): - Centraal gelegen, vlotte check-in/out, duidelijke communicatie, hygiëne
Wij waren er voor één nacht op een donderdagnacht Niets eigenlijk
- Sena burcu (9/5): Best location & kind staff - Staff was really nice and helpful. Location is amazing!! It can be noisy but when you close the windows it is fine.
- Elisa (6/5): - Posizione Non insonorizzata
- Eide (8/5): - The location ita perfect

- Denisse (10/5): -
- herve (1/5): Je ne recommande pas cet hotel - J avais demandé un lit double. Bien que indiqué je n ai eu que un petit lit collé à un autre. Chambre bruyante et très pauvrement meublée
- gianpaolo (6/5): -
- Lee (10/5): -
- ATHANASIA (9/5): - Εξαιρετική τοποθεσία
- Sena (10/5): -
- Ana (9/5): Great stay two steps away from Manneken Pis - Lovely, central location. View of Manneken Pis!
Double windows insulated from outside noise, heating was great, room was well designed and comfortable. Bathroom had nice toilettries. The hosts were so kind and helpful. Allowed to check in early and leave luggage. Can't think of a single thing!
- nathalie (8/5): Nous avons passé deux nuits très simplement mais très agréablement - La proximité du centre-ville. Endroit idéal pour visiter Bruxelles
La gentillesse du personnel
Le charme désuet de l’établissement La salle de bain mériterait un petit rafraîchissement
Changement de la porte de la cabine douche
- Emmanuel (8/5): - Accueil professionnel et agréable.
J'ai pu laisser mon bagage à l'hôtel avant de récupérer la chambre et après le check out.
- YAKUP YASIN (8/5): Merkezi şehir hayatına yakın bir otel - Bavullarımızı gün içerisinde bırakmamıza izin verdiler. Bu bizim için büyük bir artıydı. Ayrıca konumu baya iyi. Merdivenler dar. Valiziniz varsa zorlayıcı olabilir
- Praneti (9/5): - The location is perfect, the staff the ladies everyone was very welcoming. They give you free refill of water too.
- Margherita (8/5): - Lovely place, exactly what I was looking for. Thank you 🌻
- Ana Laura (8/5): -
- Fatma (9/5): - Personel
- Yunus (10/5): -
- 1588_dav (9/5): Ottima struttua! - Posizione centrale, e ottimo qualità-prezzo Il soffione della doccia da rivedere, l'acqua usciva molto male.
- Ezat (10/5): -
- Jc (8/5): Super séjour dans le centre historique de Bruxelles - L’emplacement incroyable au centre-ville à quelques mètres du Manneken Pis et vers Grand Place.
Possibilité de faire toute la ville à pied en partant de l’hôtel.
Le confort de la literie et la grande salle de bain.
L’accueil sympathique et facilité par la présence de personnel qui gèrent aussi boutique de souvenirs au rez de chaussée. L’escalier un peu pentu si on a des gros bagages.
- Ourania (8/5): -
- Mattia (10/5): - Il boccione per bere l acqua.
Lo staff🔝 Nulla da segnalare
- RICARDO (8/5): -
- SILVANA (9/5): Proprietaria e figlio disponibilissimi e gentilissimi - Non usufruita colazione Soffione doccia
- Sarah (7/5): -
- Meline (10/5): -
- Emanuele (9/5): - La posizione è eccezionale, la proprietaria gentilissima e molto disponibile, ha 1 stella ma nulla da invidiare a molti 3 stelle!
- Mohsin (7/5): Location, Location, Location - only 7 minutes walk from Brussels Central station. - Location was superb. The staff(guy) was very helpful and welcoming. Very easy access to Brussels Central station, just 6 minutes walk, (can take train to & fro airport, Luxembourg and many more. Menneken Pis can been seen from room window. Area full of restaurants.
Very busy street, it is very noisy at night if you leave windows open, but if you close the windows then no noise at all, as there are 2 double windows.
No lift, Very steep stairs, better to book 1st floor. 1. Bathroom door does not close at all, no latch/lock, the door stays wide open, very embarrassing with you with your family or specially friend.
2. I requested double bed, there are no double beds, they put 2 single beds together which is very uncomfortable to sleep as the bed bends in the middle and you feels you falling, couldn't sleep at all.
3. Shower was not good at all, due to less water in shower, 5 minute shower takes 15 minutes.
- Jessica (8/5): Leuk klein hotel op een zeer centrale plek, aardige en behulpzame mensen, fijne kamer en badkamer. -
- andres (8/5): Cómodo, limpio y bien ubicado - Perfectamente ubicado, en pleno centro, a pasos de la Grande Place. Y a pesar de ser una calle bulliciosa durante el dia, por la noche es tranquilo y se puede descansar bien sin ruidos. Para mi todo bien, a mi madre le costaba un poco la escalera porque los escalones son estrechos, pero se ve que es común que las escaleras sean así en Bruselas.
- Şükran Sevde (6/5): - Güleryüzlü personel, merkezi konum, gün içinde oda toplanıp havlular değiştirildi. Oda fotoğraftakinden daha küçük; tuvalet dahil tüm oda 4-5 metrekare denebilir. Temizlik kötü, merdivenler dik ve dar. Merkezi olması iyi fakat gürültülü.
- Lydie (10/5): - Personnel très chaleureux, très bonne accueil.
L emplacement au top, chambre confortable
Petit déjeuner copieux
- María Teresa (7/5): -
- Giovanna (8/5): - La posizione La poca pulizia del bagno che di base è molto vecchio e arrugginito. La doccia praticamente ha il piatto giallo.
- Lara (10/5): Hotel antiguo pero inmejorable - El hotel tiene una ubicación fantástica ya que desde la ventana se ve el Mannenken Pis y está en pleno centro,se llega rápido desde la estación de tren.
No es un hotel grande ni nuevo,es antiguo,pero es muy cómodo y limpio.
La dueña muy maja,te deja un detalle de bienvenida así como agua he infusiones en la entrada totalmente gratis.
El precio está genial. Todo muy bien
- Giovanni (10/5): - Posizione eccezionale La scala un po' strettina
- Harita Raval (5/5): If you find other option, chose that instead of this - Location is right at the city centre and 5-10 min walking distance to all the main tourist attractions.
In the gift shop which is basically the GF of the building you get 10% discount if you are staying. Room was extremely small.
The stairs , oh my god it triggered my vertigo every single time. I do not recommend anyone with above 35+ to book this place, it is not a good idea.
The bathroom was not cleaned and it was smelling bed.
As this place is right in the middle there is no quiet time even in the middle of night we were hearing noises.
- Mariana Noelia (9/5): Gran ubicación y amabilidad - El personal muy amable. Pudimos hacer el check in luego del horario. Pasamos el 31/12 y nos dejaron una botella de cava de regalo. Revisaría la limpieza del baño, estaba bien pero encontramos pelos alrededor y en el inodoro. El precio bastante elevado.
- Woods (10/5): Cosy Oasis - The location was close to everything and right next door to an amazing Belgian restaurant & bar. The owners of the hotel sisters Marae & Sabine were both welcoming, friendly and helpful. The room itself was clean, spacious amd cosy. The decor is simple and a little on the dark side. My bed was comfortable and I liked the window looking out over the rooftops and street below. There is no refrigerator in the room.
The spiral staircase is charming but a little precarious.
- marie (8/5): très bien - emplacement super, vraiment centre ville. Lits très confortables, double fenêtre,donc très silencieux viv à vis de l'extérieur, très propre l'escalier un peu raide, pas d'ascenseur. pas de machine à café ds la chambre
- Mikel Orbegozo (10/5): Volvería a reservar este alojamiento sin duda - Excelente ubicación, inmejorable, comodidad y buen sistema de calefacción para pasar 3 noches en fechas navideñas. Habitación acogedora con suficiente espacio. Todo bien en general. Nada, todo genial. Quizá la accesibilidad por la escalera principal del portal, ya que es una escalera de caracol que son muy estrechas y empinadas y si llevas maletas o mochilas grandes cuesta subirlas.
- Maria C (7/5): - La Ubicacion es excelente el barrio es centrico estas cerca de todo de la estacion de la plaza principal. La habitacion es sencilla y el baño era comodo Al estar tan cerca del Meneken Pis hay gente caminando y haciendo ruido en la calle todo el tiempo pero si se cierran las ventanas algo aisla. La calle es muy sucia
- Sara (6/5): - La posizione del hotel é ottima, in pieno centro comoda per tutti i punti di interesse e per la stazione centrale.
- girafe (9/5): - L'emplacement . La salle de bains
- Ana Rosa (7/5): - La ubicación La habitación es muy pequeña. El gel había que usar poquito porque no repusieron algún día
- Paola (7/5): - Centralissimo, ma il nome hotel non credo sia corretto. Sei stanze in tutto, una scala a chiocciola piccolissima, difficile salire con la valigia piccola, di sicuro un palazzetto minuscolo antico ...stanza medio piccola ma confortevole. Personale gentile e disponibile. Posizione centrale, gentilezza del personale e confort della stanza.
- Van Houdt (9/5): -
- Valéry (7/5): - Emplacement centre ville a quelques minutes de la grand place,très bien placé. -Tres mauvaise insonorisation: musique puis bruit de discussion provenant de la rue jusqu'à 2 heure du matin ... Ne pas oublier ses boules Quies !!
Le prix a payer pour être dans le centre ville, j'imagine !
- Joseph (10/5): - I can not say enough about this charming hotel .
It is the entire package experience!... I truly would not even consider staying at any other property if I was in Brussels. Picture perfect setting. Super super clean,safe and secure..you cant get a better location. And the staff is AMAZING they are the nicest kindest group of people,truly I can't say enough about the staff or the property.. seriously I would change my dates to be sure I could stay at this property...... Amazing truly AMAZING
- Nadia (10/5): -
- Andrea (10/5): Clean and comfortable in a great location - The location was perfect for getting around all the streets and markets. The hotel room was basic but very clean with very comfortable beds. Near to train station for the airport. Recommended
- Prisco (9/5): Ottima struttura per 2/3 giorni - Posizione centralissima , pulizia e camere super riscaldate!
