I got accidentally put in the wrong room for a night and had to change rooms the next day. Unfortunately I had a migraine while I had to move all of my things so it was not good timing.

The decor is excellent and the location perfect for my needs

The smell is a bit intense due to the wood, a bit noisy when walking.

Seems renovated, old-school type of property. stairs a bit narrow but its ok. Polite owner

1. If the weather is hot it becomes uncomfortable because there is no air conditioning, only a fan. 2. The balcony door 3. Not good for ladies. We want to look nice when we go outsife, it is impossible because of the poor light. Yes, it's nice and gives the vintage perfume, but please put one light above one mirror.

Lovely vintage house, very nice for a short city break if the temperature is ok. It was easy to find, walk distance from most attractions, groceries very close, beer pub closer if you want to taste Belgium. Nice host, very helpful. I liked the stairs.

Others have complained about the stairs. That’s unfair because the photos on booking.com are accurate. To be clear - the ground floor is the entry, kitchen and sitting room only, so if you book here you will have to go up stairs. Up one level for rooms 1 and 2, up another level for room 3, and as the levels have cathedral height ceilings, it’s a bit of a climb. The staircase is a tight spiral wrought iron one. Not suitable for large bags or for those with balance/mobility problems. Otherwise it just means exercising some caution coming up and down. Our only criticism is that they could be better lit.

Loved the period decor and unusual fit-out. Bed was very comfortable, shower was good, room was spacious. Close to the intercity train station (Brussels Midi) plus metro and bus very close. Lots of bars and restaurants close by. Area full of students and migrants gave a nice vibe and energy. Very good value for the price.

Only turn the front door key to the right or you'll be buggering around for ages:) Sort it Hugo, and good luck moving it forwards!

It's just a great project with furnishings all sourced from the local flea markets. If you just want comfort and not unique atmosphere and history, book a standard hotel - it's not for you. I absolutely loved it. La Marolled is ace, full stop.

Nothing, really. Maybe one thing could have been better; meeting Hugo and say hi to him and congratulate him for the Alelier!

A very special option. It is like travelling in time and space. Elegant, classy, unique. What a pleasant surprise!!

We didn't like the building, entrance, stairs to go up in that self entrance building to dark outside,. It was hard to find the building name on the door tiny. Separate of by that issues, it was OK the second and third day.

Once inside the room I felt safe. the room was lovely, bed basic comfort and toilette was good. Location 25mts from the centre.

Beds was terrible and rooms were different floors. No were didn’t say that room are different floors. Upper room stairs were so scary. Lots of things was not working probely

Location was good and there was kitchen and washing massine to use.

Stayed in October 2024

- the stairs are little and could be dangerous

- Great location - Stylish room - Well insulated, quite and warm - communication was just perfect - we could leave our luggage

Stayed in September 2024

Location is a plus point. Its 10 mins walk to the Brussel Midi train station and the Grand Palace is 25 mins walk. Also, the metro station, the bus station is really near by ~ 5 mins walk. There are supermarkets and restaurants within the radius of 500 meters. Bonus - The host allowed us to keep the luggage in the apartment pre-check in and post check out.

I guess the Staircase which the Host is modifying this summer and it will be fine as well after that .

The Host is super awesome if you get a chance to meet him , he definitely help in all sense of information and any help you need during the stay

Stayed in July 2024

Toilet was not attached to the floor and a bit undone; Stars that lead to the room are very difficult to climb with baggage, so you need to keep that in mind if you are carring large suitcases

Nicely furnished, good location

Stayed in April 2024

Uninteresting Neighborhood (lots of homeless people). Bathroom needs renovation (toilet was moving).

Thanks to owners involvement we were able to check in few hour eliear. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Very good WiFi. Room close to train station.

Stayed in June 2024

There is no lift and the staircase is a very narrow spiral staircase - suitcases are impossible to bring up - we left them down in the kitchen . This is something that should be mentioned clearly in property description

Beautiful rooms and very vintage feel :)

Stayed in April 2024

The decorating hadn’t been finished in the toilet … the toilet wasn’t fixed to the floor

Was very clean and all been recently decorated

Stayed in April 2024

Clean rooms and a very friendly host. Accommodation was in a great location with shops, bars, restaurants and transport all really close by.

Stayed in April 2024

Hugo was very accommodating and a friendly host - thank you for having us!

Stayed in February 2024

It was well equipped.

The stairs were really unpleasant and difficult to go upstairs.

Stayed in December 2023

It seems that it’s an old building so the toilet is old and the room a bit cold

Thé hôtel is very homey ambient, the owner is very kind and the services are fantastic !!!

Stayed in November 2023

The kitchen needs updating and the wiring, but this didn’t effect our stay.

What do you do expect for a 300 year old building? We had all that we needed our room was tastefully decorated and the convenience of being able to make a meal in the kitchen was good. Loved the quirky stairway. My husband is 70 years old and he managed to carry our luggage upstairs. It was difficult but we managed and the website does say that it is narrow so we were prepared. Close to everything we never used public transport we were able to walk during our 3 day stay.

the spiral stairs

The room is exactly shown in the picture

Old building so we could hear people on the upper floors walking. Bit far from the city center.

Close to the metro. Had a lovely bakery 5min walk. Soundproof windows.

Stayed in August 2023

Slightly musty smell in bathroom, though it was perfectly clean. Room was accessed by a spiral staircase, this wasn't a problem for us but might be for others.

Close to train station, easy access (via key box) when arriving late. Comfortable bed. Access to a roof terrace (we didn't use it because it was raining).

Stayed in June 2023

It was a little much, that there isn't a real door into the bathroom, hard to change, but still makes the stay with someone very... intimate.

The location was great! Hugo was really nice and very accommodating. The room was cosy and clean
