One block south of the Grand Place—and facing Mannekin Pis, La Vielle Lanterne is a small, family-run budget hotel offering six rooms in a pretty four-story brick building. The Lanterne is a cozy, little place.
Rooms sparkle with character; it's as though a local grandma decorated them. And, she very likely did! Lanterne is family-run and when we visited, the resident grandmother took us on a tour.
A few rooms have red floral curtains and matching comforters while others are done up in pastel-colored plaid or old-fashioned lace. Each room, though tiny, has a writing desk. And, all overlook the street. For light sleepers, this means noise.
Breakfast is served in your room, as there's no common area. There's a specialty gift shop on the first floor that the family also operates.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the La Vieille Lanterne neighborhood
The Grand Place, Brussels' main square, dates to the middle ages and is still home to the city's Town Hall, built in 1402. The square is the heart of the city, and most tourists use the square as a reference point and meeting spot. The square is lined with many of the city's original Gothic-Baroque guild houses, which are incredibly photogenic.
The area surrounding the Place is busy with hotels, cutesy cafes, restaurants, and chocolate shops. On the eastern side of the square, the Tin Tin store offers pajamas, posters and more, all emblazoned with the famous blond-headed boy. From the western edge, meander down cobblestone streets until you reach Boulevard Anspach, where the old Bourse building holds center stage.
