Hotel La Légende

Hotel La Légende is a small mid-range hotel at Rue du Lombard 35, beside the Manneken Pis statue in the Lombard and Marolles area of central Brussels, Belgium. The Grand Place is a few steps away, and the Bourse, Sablon antiques district and Gare Centrale are all within a short walk. The location puts visitors in the middle of the old town's cafes, waffle stands, comic-book murals and chocolate shops, and most major sights can be reached without public transport. The hotel's identity is built around comic-book and legend themes, and its rooms are decorated accordingly, fitting Brussels' reputation as a capital of the Belgian comic strip. The building is compact and the atmosphere is informal and friendly rather than formal. Rooms are offered as Standard, Superior and Triple categories, the triple being useful for small families or groups of friends. Listed amenities include a bar, Wi-Fi, breakfast and air conditioning. Air conditioning is a practical benefit in summer, when older central buildings can become warm, and breakfast is served on site before a day of sightseeing. The bar provides drinks in the evening, while dining is plentiful in the surrounding streets, from frites stands to brasseries serving mussels and Belgian stews. The hotel does not advertise a spa, pool or fitness room, so it suits travellers who spend their days out in the city. Service is straightforward and personal, appropriate for leisure travellers, couples and groups who want a central address at a moderate price. Nightly rates are about €90-160 in low season and €110-190 in high season. Because the hotel stands near one of Brussels' most visited landmarks, the surrounding streets are busy through the day and into the evening, and guests sensitive to noise may ask for an upper-floor room away from the street.
