70 Traversiere Bed & Breakfast Brussels

Charm of a time past and contemporary comfort close to the city center (20' walk to Grand Place)

Ideally located near the heart of the city (a mere 20 minutes promenade to the historical Grand'Place), and close to the MADOU Metro station, the "70 Traversiere" is a 1850 bourgeois house offering you the charm of a time past and comtemporary comfort. Breakfast is served in our gorgeous dining room at about any time. Set breakfast time only happens if the total of guests outnumbers the seating facility (8). Cash payment only as we do not take credit cards nor cheque. Besides our B&B rooms (all with private bathrooms) the house also holds 3 student rooms, sharing a bathroom and a kitchen. They sometimes are available in B&B mode, at a lower rate. Get in touch for any special requirements, we might well meet them.

    The room : Called LA TERRASSE, this ancient guest room is located on the 2nd floor.   Its huge terrace overlooks the inner gardens, a chapel and a monumental magnolia [UNAVAILABLE UNTIL JULY 2005]LA TERRASSE - you will have private use of the house's original bathroom (now with shower) located near the 1st floor.  The toilet, still with its original 19th century Tournai tiles, is just nearby [UNAVAILABLE UNTIL FEBRUARY 2006]
    We do live in a large and comfortable house.  Take a virtual tour : here L'ATTIQUE located under the roof (4th floor); its 1920 vintage furniture struggles against the ancient beams to catch one's eye.We do live in a large and comfortable house.  Take a virtual tour : this is the bath room associated with our ATTIQUE room, in harmony with this house of character.
    We do live in a large and comfortable house.  Take a virtual tour : this is our family guest room, called L'INTENDANT.  Located in the basement (we swear it is !), its 1950 vintage furniture is nested in a field of flowers.We do live in a large and comfortable house.  Take a virtual tour : this typical early 20th century styled shower room and toilet is located just next to the INTENDANT room.
    THE GARDEN - We should give it more attention but with the neighbours 100 yards away with more gardens and tall trees in between you hardly believe to be so close to the city centre !
