“In my opinion, this property's prime location near Grand Place is its strongest suit for budget travelers. The app-based room access is a modern touch, though some rooms can be noisy. While decor is eclectic and communal spaces encourage interaction, be aware that some past guests have pointed out cleanliness issues and noise disturbances. I believe lighter sleepers may want to consider other options.”
