My family and I stayed here for three nights when I had a business trip in town. We loved how close it was to the main plaza. However, the hotel entrance is on an alley that unfortunately was a quite popular hang out for (loud) drunk people and/or homeless. There was a well-used mattress on the ground across the alley from the apartment door, and the pungent smell of urine and marijuana was at times overpowering. The apartment itself is quite nice, but has very steep stairs which were difficult for my young kids (both under 6) to manage. There were also gaps in the railing that would have been disastrous if they had fallen through them. We would have also appreciated soap in the bathroom. So all in all, this was a nice hotel, but perhaps better suited to young people without small kids, who are more interested in Brussels' night life, rather than getting a quiet night's sleep with young kids.
