The hotel is somewhat old, but reasonably clean. Maintenance was at least on par if not better as comparable locations in Brussels. If you are afraid of the smallest trace of mould, this place is not for you. The location is somewhat noisy, but that's what you get just a 5 minutes walk from the biggest railway station. Not a top hotel, but reasonable value for the money. I would go there again if I needed accommodation close to metro and railway.
