I only stay in cheap hotels. As cheap hotels go, this was first class. Friendly staff. Modern, good-sized, very clean room. There's no automobile traffic on the street, so all rooms are quiet. There is no breakfast, and the desk is not 24 hours, but they tell you that. As other reviewers have commented, there are ladies hanging around the adjoining streets, but they're hardly dangerous, and with the Yser metro station just around the corner and a short walk to Rue Neuve and the Grand Place, the location, with this one caveat, is excellent.
