Ah, ma Madeleine. This 55-room 2-star hotel sits on the café-lined Rue de la Montagne, just a block from the Grand Place. The location is unbeatable and thankfully, the room rates are reasonable—especially if you book early.
La Madeleine surprised us with its artsy flair. Funky bedspreads in gold, magenta and purple mosaic prints accent the rooms' darker gray paint jobs. Rooms are typically a bit larger than standard size and downstairs "deluxe" suites are downright palatial, most coming with private terraces replete with potted plants. The whole modern scene made us feel very "New York". We took it all in—the chic writing desks, stand-up wardrobes and flat screen televisions. Triples are typically loft spaces, with room for two upstairs and a futon downstairs in a living area.
The breakfast room is a bit more drab, with plain chairs and tables and no windows to speak of. But, there were some more cheery floral prints on the wall. Staff is only somewhat multilingual.
