    Wonderful hotel! Clean, modern rooms in an amazing location. Sophie was a kind and accommodating host. Breakfast is included and is excellent! The stairs are a little tight, and it can be a little noisy being in such a central location, but these are minor inconveniences. I highly recommend this hotel!

    Happy Guesthouse was a delightful to stay for my 3 nights in Brussels. The location was extremely convenient to the Bruxelles Centraal train station as well as museums, Grand Place, hundreds of eateries, sightseeing. The staff were accommodating, friendly, and very helpful with touristy recommendations. Breakfasts were a delight, usually there is one featured daily main and for me it was a great complement to the breads, fruit, cereals and coffee. Be aware about the steps to the rooms: they may seem narrow for some and if you have mobility issues you may want to consider only the 1st floor room. There is no lift. I was on the 2nd floor and counted 40 total steps -- I learned from other reviews before I booked, so I was prepared. All in all a wonderful stay for my time in Brussels and Happy Guesthouse earns Five Star ratings in all categories.

    Incredible Guesthouse! I visited Brussels with my parents; we needed somewhere central so they didn't need to walk too far. The location of the guesthouse is within easy walking distance of the main attractions. The rooms were spotless, modern, and extremely comfortable. Breakfast was delicious, and the hosts were welcoming and friendly - with recommendations of where to eat and drink in the area. We will come here again next time we are in Brussels!

    Our host was terrific! We only were in Brussels for a day, but she helped point us in the right direction of what to see in a short period. Wish we could have stayed longer. This was one of the nicest accommodations I've had while traveling in Europe.

    I really enjoyed my stay. Hotel with lovely ambience & positive spirit - high quality service indeed. I'd like to add that hotel has a great location close to the main landmarks of the city. I especially liked my room with roof window and breakfast with some typical Belgian spread.

    As it is located near the central station in the city Central it is easy to visit many important places as well as be in walking distance from station. Sophie communicated very well before our arrival. And was a great host. She served us a wonderful breakfast and explained the city map to us. Although the steps were typically narrow and steep like in these countries to get to the rooms, it was well worth it. We just not use to it. The rooms were well laid out, had everything we needed. It was very clean. The bathroom was also very modern. Linen was of high quality. Thank you Sophie and team for the care and time you took to make us feel welcome.

    Sophie is the perfect host. It was just right for a night away from the kids! It is centrally located and walkable to all sights; parking was easy and affordable (€22 for the duration); breakfast was perfect. Sophie gave lots of great recommendations for food and Xmas shopping.

    The Happy Guesthouse is the perfect basecamp to explore Belgium. We spent four nights at Sophie’s Happy Guesthouse in Brussels and recommend it for several reasons. First, it is conveniently located within a five minute walk of Brussels’ central train station. You don’t want or need to change accommodations every night. We stayed at the Happy Guesthouse for the duration of our time in Belgium while making daytrips to Bruges/ Ostend, Ghent, and Antwerp. Each is within an hour or so of the central station and the trains are regular, quick, comfortable, and reasonably priced. Second, Sophie and her staff made us very comfortable. Our room was small but it was comfortable, as was the bed. There is no elevator but that was not an issue for us. If you have concerns, request a room on a lower floor. And breakfast was consistently tasty with several options. Finally, Sophie and her staff were flexible. When we wanted to get an early start, they accommodated us by delivering breakfast to our room prior to the normal breakfast window. And when our departing flight was cancelled by Air Maroc on short notice, they accommodated us by allowing us to leave our luggage and to pick it up later in the day, after we had checked out and turned in our key. So, what more could one ask for?

    It feels like home! Sophie and team go out of their way to make you comfortable and taken care of. The decor is perfect. Everything in the place is from Belgium. From all the food, to the custom furniture and wood. It is steps from the Grand Palace and Central Station! Can’t wait to return.

    Im always conscious that I may look for things to complain about and this place has so much to like. Central location, really well designed rooms, a lovely breakfast and fair pricing, however I slept so badly because of the street noise and loud people until 2am. I also experienced some issues with check- in and communications during my stay as well as the the wifi and rain shower not working at all. So it has to be three stars. Apart from the noise these things are easy to fix and when they are working it would be 4 stars no problem!

    We had such a wonderful stay at the Happy Guesthouse. The location was superb; it is about a 5 minute walk from the Central Station and right in the middle of the centre of the city. All the main sights of the city are really close by. The rooms are bright & modern and the design of the townhouse overall is beautiful. Our hosts held our bags for us on the day of our departure, as we were not departing until late in the evening. They also provided a birthday tartlet on the morning of my boyfriend's birthday which was very sweet. Thank you to all at the Happy Guesthouse!
