    we were hoping for private bathroom but it was shared - would have liked a breakfast option or discount on breakfast elsewhere

    great location - very easy to get to from Brugge station and bus stop is nearby and also cheaper than most places in Brugge

    They didn't have breakfast when we counted on that. Beds looked old and were rather uncomfortable. Loudness of bar.

    Good location. It was indeed clean. Uncomfortable beds. Friendly staff

    really super central and very well located, but the truth is that the place needs a little love, the mattresses are in very bad condition, the bases of the beds with uncomfortable boards, and the security uffff, there is much to be desired, everyone can enter very easily for having two restaurants below

    Our room was next to the showers and we could hear people having a shower until late, and it was disruptive.

    Great atmoshpere in the pub, we spent the night there playing pool and sipping a beer. Very comfy bed and great location, right in the center.

    While it's not for everyone it absolutely met my needs for the night.

    Check out is 11am and I didn't realize this until the morning. (my fault as didn't catch the sign). The way I cam in was closed and the only other door I saw was emergency exist which said do not open. Luckily I didn't have anywhere to go and when I checked the door again at 10 there was someone there to open it. There were also numbers I could have called as well so overall not to bad.

    Fantastic location, easy to check in and the staff was super nice. Place is older so you expect rooms, showers and toilets to be as well. While old, they were clean and bed was comfortable. Also felt safe as a female traveling alone. No issues there either.

    The place was a bit expensive for what they offer. There was no soap in the bathroom and it was a bit dirty as well. I had to pay one euro to get a towel that looked old, but clean. They had no hairdryer. There were no nightstands in the room.

    The bed was comfortable and the room was warm. The staff is mostly friendly.

    Shower room was a bit mouldy and the toilet never had any soap for washing hands.

    Location is really close to the city centre so easy to walk around, not too far of a walk from the main train station either. Social bar downstairs to meet other guests. Good heating in the room for the winter months.

    The place didn't feel clean and is worn out, would need some maintenance. You can also hear everyone walking or talking in the hallway

    Very close to center, only a quick walk to the main area, restaurants and shops. Also quick walk from bus stop. The bar downstairs has a good vibe

    We had to wait a while to check in, as staff talked to each other and ignored us. There was no desk and no wardrobe in the room. There was a lot of noise in the night, we did not sleep well as strangers came and knocked on our door and tried to get in all the time.

    The beds were very comfortable and the location was fantastic.

    Room close to the street and curtain weren't thick enough. Unfortunately, the people in my room (which is not related at all to the hostel) turned on the light at 7am and were doing as if there were alone in the room.

    I seem to recall only one light for room and that on ceiling. Some hostels have small focused lights above pillow in each bunk. Much handier and considerate.

    No breakfast included so fine.

    It’s a bar with rooms above. No hostel atmosphere. There was a funky smell in the room, seemingly coming from the showers outside the room. I left the window slightly open to air it out which helped but because there were no screens we had mosquitoes biting us in the night. Upon closer inspection there were quite a few bloodly mosquitoes squished on the walls from previous guests. Overall not very clean. It was very cheap so we didn’t have high expectations.

    It’s in a great location, a short walk to all the attractions in the centre of Bruges. It’s very affordable.
