“Hotel La Vieille Lanterne certainly wins on location, placing you steps from the Manneken Pis and within easy reach of the city's heart. From what I gathered, the rooms are simple but comfortable, and the staff's attentiveness seems to make it a smart pick given the area's sometimes steep prices. For travellers prioritizing location and a friendly face, this could be a savvy choice.”
