Lock in a great price for Antwerp City Hostel – rated 8.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

There is a power socket for every bed. They assign you a room, and you can choose any bed, which is good if there are not many guests. I was able to check-in one hour earlier.

From the beginning communication with the hostel staff was great, they promptly responded to my questions and where willing to help at all times. The location can’t be better with all the main sights within a short walking distance. A great plus are the bedroom and bathroom views to the beautiful buildings around, really puts you in a good mood to wake up surrounded by all that beauty. The facilities are amazing and the kitchen and common areas are great!! I loved everything about this hostel and will definitely be returning in the future. On a bit of an unrelated note, make sure to take one of the "Legends" walking tours they suggest at your arrival, you’ll not regret it

“Good hostel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler

I stayed at the top level. There was a window on the roof without any curtain. I was shined by the first light of the day and couldn't sleep any longer. However, I could see the cathedral's tower from my bed.
The basement common area is a nice place. Breakfast in the basement is nice, too. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

“Start your day with a view on a center of Antwerp!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
Water was cold in a shower and sometimes lift didn't work. Common area is big, but located in a basement and it is a bit claustrophobic. Also, it is quite loud in the evening as you hear people in bars on 1st floor till 1 AM (I stayed on 5th floor).
Personnel was extremely friendly. They let me check in even earlier than it was allowed. Breakfast was very nice. It is great to stay in such old building. When you wake up in the morning and open window you start your day with a view on a center of Antwerp!

If I d be picky I d say there could be one more vitamine in the breakfast buffet. But the possibility of waffels makes it alright again. Showers are clean yet could have a place to but Soap etc. But also nothing big.
I had a great time. Lovely staff, that made the stay really enjoyable. Really centrally located yet quiet. The rooms are nice, there are nice little details like a list of to dos, an armchair to relaxe and enjoy the view, that tea for late night hang outs, good reggea to wake up. Clean also ;) Well it has all thats needed. By the way theres free concerts just around the corner at de Muze.

My brother and I stayed over the weekend and there were party guests there. The "party room" is far down in the basement which cancelled out most of the noise. Just some teenagers were loud when they came back from partying in the night.
All good. Value for price very good. Perfect location, clean showers, good facilities, helpful staff.

“Noisy night - no towel to shower”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
No towel available to shower - you have to bring your own (which is poorly communicated). The building is old so the floors and doors are squeeky. Which is annoying with lots of people in the same room, so prepare to be awakened often if you're an average or light sleeper.
Friendly checkin experience. The hostel is easy to find and breakfast is included. Reasonable room rate for prime location in Antwerp centre.

Since it is in the center outside noise is disturbing. The lockers are not working. The breakfast might have better vegan options. The dishes in the common area and the area itself was not clean enough but it is more of the travellers responsibility.
It was in heart of the city center. The staff was friendly. They even let us to checkin before the check in time. Good for the money.
