Location was great and staff was nice enough to give me a late check out because they had no one coming into the room the next day. Room was very spacious and had lots of cupboards, hanging space and surface space for work or preparing food. It was also clean.

Location and the room is superb!! Just right in the centre/ 10 steps walking to Tram station. It is so convenient and the room space is not too small and allow us to cook as there are kitchenette provided ( a bit old items, should be changed as it was over / heavily used) Bed is also super comfy. I would recommend other guests to stay here.

Abby

This hostel exceeded my expectations. I booked a individual room and I got suprised with the size of the place. There's a very convenient kitchen and confortable beds. It's like a little flat. The hostel are located just few minutes (walking) from the historic city center, there are supermarkets and plenty of restaurants nearby. This hostel is very silent and works like a place to have a quiet stay.

The location was great! Close to everything one needs and the usual must-sees! Late checkout is possible if needed. Staff were friendly.

The location is excellent. The staff is most obliging. Our room was clean and roomy, perhaps a little too low ceilinged in the bed part (we were on the fourth floor)

The above needs to be corrected
The bed was good. The bathroom didn't have a soap dispenser. We were provided a soft plastic bottle with shampoo cum shower gel all in one. We had to keep this bottle outside the bathroom causing a big water puddle when we stepped out of the bathroom. Moreover there was no bath mat leaving water all over the place. We had to be extra cautious that we don't slip. There is no cleaning for the entire stay.

The walls were unbelievably thin. We could hear people moving in their sleep in the next room (not helped by the beds being very creaky), we could hear someone's phone vibrating in the room next door. Noisy building site outside.
The staff were nice and helpful and arranged our refund without complaint.

The wifi was really bad and almost never worked and it was fairly expensive for a very basic room (even thought this was one of the cheapest options in Ghent). No microwave in the room.
Great location. Lots of food, tourist attractions and shops nearby

“Think twice before booking this hostel!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
My stay in this hostel was supposed to be for 3 nights. I hardly stayed in for only 1 night. The single room was dirty, and there was no bed linen; At my request to have it, the receptionist said it was not possible, neither if I pay an extra charge!!! the hostel is situated in a street where next door there is a building in construction. In fact, I woke up at 7:10am because of the works noise. a couple of pictures i took may make my review clear. Thanks to my reservation through booking i got a refund of 2 nights!. If you're looking for a place where to have some relax during your visit to the very beautiful Ghent, then stay away from this place.

Mosquito problem, we did not have the windows open and each morning we woke up with more bites and more mosquitos around the room. It was very warm in the room but we did not want to open the window for fear of more mosquitos coming in.
Good location, lots of amenities close by.
