We did not enjoy our stay. We paid for two nights but left after the first.
Pros:
The location- It was convenient to both the train station and the Grand Place.
Check in- The people at the hotel where you pick up the keys are especially lovely. They even remembered my name when I returned the keys.
Cons:
The location- There were people screaming outside up until 3:00 am. There is a rather large bar around the corner. Perhaps that is where they were coming from. Even while sleeping on the top floor it kept us all awake.
The stairs- I know this was explained in the listing but please beware they will be even more steep and narrow than you expect, and there is no railing.
Cleanliness- This was the biggest issue for us. We were booked for two nights but left after the first night. The overwhelming smell of sewer on the second floor was nauseating. The slip covered sofas were filthy! This is such a shame because they could quite easily be laundered. Im not talking a little dirty. They were stained and dirt covered, and looked as though they spent a previous life in a fraternity house. We used the bath towels to cover the sofa before we would sit on them. We didn’t need the towels because we wouldn’t even shower there. As my daughter put it, I feel like I would feel dirtier rather than cleaner after using that shower. The entire place needed a thorough cleaning. There were sticky spots on the floors. We cut our stay in Brussels a day short and were lucky enough to check into our Brugge Airbnb a day early just so we could shower. One final note, the bedding didn’t seem to have been laundered. There was a substantial amount of hair on them to make us suspect. We chose to sleep in our clothes.
