I stayed there on february 2004. The building is quiet decrepit and in a very bad repair. The rooms are big but old fashionned, and i didnt have hot water on the morning during my stay. It's a good 2stars..maybe 3 stars hotel at the moment. A complete facelift is expected. Grand Place and city centre is about half hour walking. The aera around the hotel is horrible except Le Jardin Botanique, and be carefull at night, it's dangerous!
I paid 70€ / night (internet week-end rate)the official price is 270€ (LOL!!!!!!),
then i can not say that's too much....
But there are a plenty of 2* or 3* in city centre.
The restaurant of the Royal Crown is good.
Subway station close to the hotel.
