Amazing central location - but as other travelers noted - this also means it's VERY loud to stay here. I brought ear plugs so that worked pretty well to help me sleep. If you plan on just a couple of days in Brussels and know you'll be enjoying some of the Belgian beers, this place is good for that. Any longer, or if you like going to bed early... I would recommend going outside of the city center.
The bar across the street that holds onto the keys had a very friendly bartender named Taulent ("talent") and gave us recommendations and said hi each time we saw him on the street. As a woman, I felt safe here which is a plus.
