The property itself is a grand dame getting a bit tired in a very elegant fashion. Reminds me of French Quarter, Louisiana USA. Or the set from the movie "GiGi" with Leslie Caron, right down to the draperies and furniture. I loved it. If you like Ibis hotels, this is not for you. You are better off to pay for staying in a larger room on a lower floor, rather than the 3rd top floor, aka, the attic. Parking is not good. Like all of Belgium, ppl drive and park like maniacs. If you find a spot near the hotel expect to pay 4 euros for 2 hours (Max time) from 9am to 7pm. Credit/bank card only. Sunday free. Usually you are going to have to walk to the hotel. I was travelling alone, and it got creepy in the dark. At times, I felt like running.😳 Although the cleaning staff was very kind, I could never get a handle on about what time they would knock. I denied them a couple times because it was not a good time for me. The owner asked when I was going to let them in to do maintenance. Probably when I am not in the shower. The following day they didn't knock, just left supplies at my door. Confusing. Breakfast was perfect! Sum it up...elegant quirky hotel in an active city. You will hear sirens, trains and ppl all hours. The community areas show better than the rooms. Parking is horrid, the staff is very nice. The owner is on premise and quick to assist. The breakfast offered is high quality. And they have a private garden. CCTV cameras are in the bldg.
