La vieille lanterne

We stumbled upon this hotel, in fact, you can’t even tell it’s a hotel from the outside, but as you walk down the street, there’s a small sign that says «hotel».
We went in to check if they had any vacancy and the lady spoke only french, so I had to communicate with her. My husband was completely clueless. There’s a little souvenir shop downstairs and so the lady was explaining to us how to get in when their shop closes for the day. She showed us the code to get into the front door and gave us the key to our room. The stairs are steep, so we left our stroller downstairs with her.
The room is nice, perfect size, free wifi and a view of the mannequin pis (the peeing boy) right outside our room. The windows are decorated with flower boxes and it brought a fresh scent into the room. All hours of the day, we would see people standing in line to take photos with the peeing boy statue, it was funny.
We were in a great area because the city hall, the great restaurants, all the wonderful belgian waffle places, and chocolate places were a walk away, some were right across the street! We were able to see Godiva from our room!
The price was very good for such a great area and breakfast is continental with tea and baked goods, very fresh though! There’s a bar right downstairs and we were able to sit outside, enjoy a few Belgium beers (my husband also smoked his cuban) and people watch.
It was such a great location, we’ll stay here again the next time we’re in town!

Très bon hôtel rapport qualité prix
J’avais réservé cet hôtel par site au pris de 81 € la nuit, petit déjeuné compris. Très bon accueil, le petit déjeuné est servi dans la chambre et est copieux, les chambres sont grandes et agréables, ainsi que la salle de bain. Bien placé, pour se déplacer dans le centre ville de Bruxelles. Un petit bémol, étant à côté de manneken pis, il faut s’attendre à un peu de bruit tard dans la nuit. Faites attention les personnes à mobilité réduite, l’escalier est vraiment petit.
