This little boutique hotel was close enough to the grand palace, but far enough away from the noise. My family stayed in the family room, which is located above and off to the side of the breakfast area so every morning we would wake up to the aroma of waffles.
They had a wide selection of breakfast items to choose from. There was baked goods, fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses, cold cereal, hot cereal, eggs, bacon and of course, the waffles. They also had an espresso machine that made your favourite coffee. They had juices and yogurt as well.
The grand Palace area was only a 10 minute walk. The metro station was about a three minute walk. If you wanted to go to atomium or the Neuhaus factory outlet it is only 20 to 30 minute metro ride/walk to get there. Bruges was 50 to 60 minute metro/IC train ride. We walked around town and took a boat tour on the canal. We had lunch and made our way back to Brussels. We didn’t go to Ghant, but was told it was a smaller version on Bruges. Less busy.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this little place to stay at. Who wouldn’t want to be woken up by the smell of waffles. Beds were comfortable, the hotel was clean and the staff was nice, but didn’t really offer any info for the surrounding area at check in unless asked. That is really my only complaint.
