Cómodo, limpio y bien ubicado
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.

Location, Location, Location - only 7 minutes walk from Brussels Central station.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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.
