    Located in the opposite corner to the Manneken Pis; we could even see it from our window. Nice & clean. Helpful staff. Breakfast served in the bedroom at the requested time. Just one suggestion: please place a shelf into the shower!

    This is a great place for a couple to stay in Brussels. The location is absolutely perfect, we could see the Manneken Pis from our window! The staff is great, especially Teresa, who speaks Portuguese. Having the breakfast brought to the room was also very nice. We stayed there for two nights and... more

    Great hotel. Breakfast was fantastic (breads and croissants, but come with a huge variety of spreads and cheeses, a full coffee pot, all on a tray delivered to your door!). Great location, clean rooms, cute building, good price. Would go back!

    It was perfect. Excellent location.Clean.Friendly. Very good room with an old style furniture corresponding to the outdoor atmosphere. A big big plus - I was in a cold June day and the heating in the bathroom was working. Attention - there is a sheer staircase! Definitely will stay again....

    Kind of far from the train station, but not a problem when you are able to reach maniken pis. One of the staff don't speak english (only spanish), so kind of diff to talk 2 her. No lift, so you need to carry you luggage up the small winding stair to your room.

    This B&B is nothing special, and 80 euros per night is expensive for what it is. What probably makes it so expensive is the location: just in the opposite corner of the Manneken Pis (the center of Brussels). A very normal place located in the very center of the city, thus, recommendable.

    This place is fantastic if you want somewhere to sleep only. We barely stayed in, only for sleeping and hygene sessions, but I guess this is what it's supposed to be for.. :) There are no drawbacks, it probably has the cleanest toilet I've ever seen and breakfast is nice! Absolutely... more

    A cozy shophouse in a little street. Manneken Pis is just a stone throw away. Clean. Owner is friendly. Just take note that there is no lift, got to carry the luggage up the sprial staircase.

The room was clean and cozy, and they even served us breakfast in bed! Lots of shops and sites within walking distance.... more

    The staff at La Vieille Lanterne was very helpful and kind! It is a very nice spot, very close to what should be seen in Brussels, including the very cute Manneken Pis, which is just around the corner. It is spotless, but not a place to meet people. I recommend!

    There is nothing bad to say about this hostel. The lady was really nice and helpful. Our room was perfect, we had a really comfortable double bed, tv, and a great view. The shower hit the spot. Best of all was the location and the breakfast in bed.
