We arrived early and were welcomed to have our room early as it was ready. We were even able to have some of the mornings breakfast. We were given a map and recommendations of places to visit and eat specifically for our dietary requirements. Every recommendation exceeded our expectation. Sophie is a great host and Sophie was amazing at explaining everything and was accommodating of all of our needs throughout our stay. We checked out later than expected, and that was also accommodated with no hesitation. We would absolutely stay again on our next visit.

There was nothing that I did not like.

The breakfast was excellent and suited my individual taste.

The stairs were a problem for anyone with knee, age related or mobility issues, and unfortunately I couldn't see any indication of this in the advertising material on booking.com. The road noise was a massive problem also, which took several nights for me to adjust to, therefore my 7 night stay was devoid of much sleep. Other than that, it was a clean, delightful property suitable for the 20 - 30's age group, who were not very tall. Unfortunately, too uncomfortable for tall men, and people who have problems with stairs. The host, Sophie was a delightful and helpful person. I met Matilde also, who was lovely.

The location is amazing, but... Keep in mind the old picturesque houses are very very small. The biggest challenge is "dragging" your suitcase to the room. Very narrow stairs (if coming with a big suitcase, you might want to consider leaving the luggage in the lobby :) might give you an experience of a lifetime. The room on the 4th floor has a small balcony, but what you can really see are the rooftops of the neighboring houses. The good news is when you reach the room, the beds are comfy and if you're renovating your tiny bathroom, you can find plenty of nice ideas here. Breakfast in the morning was fresh and they make eggs, if you ask them to and the stuff is super nice.

Location was perfect for my needs, arriving and departing by train and wanted ease of seeing major attractions. Liked that I was supporting a small historic owner guesthouse. Safe and relatively quiet for an urban street.

Confusing directions about how to gain entry. I wrote several emails a couple of days ahead begging for the entry code promised 48 hours in advance, no response. Finally at 11PM the day before I was leaving for the property and all internet access behind, the code and other directions arrived. Created lots of extra pressure as no onsite staff. But all worked out OK. Boy, the stairs are a killer if you have 2 suitcases as I did. If you cannot do stars and lift heavy objects don't stay there. The rooms are tiny even for one person, cute but I never paid more for less space. Thought a bit expensive for the stairs and space and the stress of entry, but sweet well meaning owner there for breakfast. A close call if you like to support such places, as I do.

Loved the location and especially the homemade breakfast. The owner is really friendly and the rooms are clean. The heater in our room (3rd floor) was working which was relevant for us as it was a bit cold outside. It was a perfect stay. :)

There is nothing that I can think of, it was a pleasant stay. Just would like to make some small mentions. Take in consideration that there are 4 floors without an elevator with a narrow staircase. And you might want to bring your own shower gel, it was not replaced during our stay.

The location is perfect, 20 min walk from train station and a few mins away from grand place and Christmas markets etc. despite its main location it's quiet at night/early morning for a fantastic sleep, and the accomodation itself is clean, ethical and comfortable. Communication with Sophie and her team was brilliant, and there was thoughtful touches before, during and after our stay. Would highly recommend, and love that they are proud partners to our LGBTQ+ community!

Sophie is a wonderful host and the breakfasts were great. The location is only a 3 minute walk from the central train station and less than 20 minutes for nearly all items of interest. The room and facilities were spotlessly clean and check in was very easy. We would stay here again.

The facility is on a busy street so traffic noise was sporadic throughout the night. It was unusually warm when we were there so the room was a bit warmer than I prefer. However, Sophie is considering installing A/C so don't pass up on this place without checking with Sophie.

Sophie is an excellent host, always smiling and gave us great ideas for places to see off the usual tourist routes. The breakfast is superb. The room is clean and comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities. Check in and check out were very easy.

Right in the middle of the old town which is fab but also a bit noisy sometimes. Overall being central was more important for us.

The room was really bright, clean and comfortable. Breakfast offered a nice selection of breads and pastries, fresh fruits and custom made eggs. Great location with no need for a car to see the sites.

I must have missed when booking that they don't have air conditioning in the rooms. It was extremely hot the two nights I was there and as they are located downtown, opening the windows is not an option as there is a lot of noise. There was a small fan but I think a ceiling fan would have helped more.

Location: Central to everything. You have main sights less than 5 minutes away as well as the Central Gare. Restaurants & bars are also right around the corner. Rooms: We stayed on the top floor; the view from the skylight is good; it has some slight views. The mini patio is small enough for just a chair. The bed was comfortable & overall cleanliness is high. My only concern is the bathroom floor, it's not as slanted for the water to flow down the drain , so you're standing in a puddle after showering. Breakfast: Amazing. There's a variety of cheeses, spreads, breads, yogurt & eggs come included. Overall, Happy Guesthouse is cozy for your stay in Brussels. Sophie makes your stay, she is truly helpful & hospitable.
