According to Google Maps, you are about 25-30 minutes walking from La Grand Place. Certainly doable, but it's not *that* close. I can't speak for the shops/restaurants in that part of Brussels as I did not stay there when I was in town.
FWIW - I stayed at The Dominican (which is very close by)...understated hotel, no frills, but very convenient and satisfied all of our needs and had modern amenities. It wasn't that expensive either.
