    • Bed in 4-Bed Female Dormitory Room with Shower
    • Stayed 2 nights

    It's a bit gloomy in the room and No bin The floor in the shower is water damaged. And the the shower itself is terrible - you have to push a button every few seconds in order to keep the water coming out. The water pressure is a bit too much.

    The location is very good, near to the main city ​​attractions. Staff are nice and friendly. The room has enough space and lockers (1 euro deposit refundable). Breakfast included with a good basic choice.

    Ventilation felt so so when shower in the room was used. Somewhat noisy from the street but that is expected due to location.

    Nice, comfy and clean. Close to the city centre, train and trams. Many options for breakfast.

    Showers were cold, toilets are at other end of hallway and one had leak so smelt awful. No kitchen area to cook.

    Location was close to train station although I wouldn’t get off there late at night. But close walk to central station too. Breakfast was good simple but good. Room ok size with sink.

    I would suggest not have the bunk beds so the head in near the door. The lack of toilets/showers on the floor. Breakfast was a little disappointing but can’t complain too much about that

    Good location, clean and tidy. Helpful staff

    It was very difficult to take a shower in the bathroom because you had to keep pressing a button to get the water to run. I think that must be an environmental measure.

    The staff were very helpful and kept my luggage. The rooms were spacious. There was a small kitchenette on the ground floor where you could prepare your meals.

    The mattresses were not comfortable. It could be improved. Also, if the kitchen include a heating cattle and a little possibility to cook small meals then it will be a big plus.

    The name says hostel but it has so many facilities which we didn't think of. We loved the break out area of the hostel, outdoor siting option, location and rooms. It was quite spacious wrt to the hostel I have stayed before.

    Warning! If traveling during the summer months, there's no air conditioning and one fan per room is NOT sufficient. I couldn't sleep at all one night when I needed to share the fan and was crying it was so unbearable.

    The bathroom was dirty and the shower is a bit of a pain in the ass since you have to push a button every few seconds in order to keep the water coming out. The water pressure is a bit too much so be careful 😅.

    The complementary breakfast is amazing, there are plenty of options. The place is beautiful, well located and the beds were super comfortable. The members of the staff were very nice.

    The curtains weren't big enough to cover the whole window so the room became light with the start of the day. Only one mirror in the room, and it was in the shower/sink space, so if someone was using that, there wasn't a mirror for anybody else to use. Two of the lockers were very high, I was lucky to get into the room first and so chose a lower locker, but the two who arrived later had no choice - one struggled to use it and the other didn't ever bother, keeping her bags on her bunk.

    Clean rooms, nice social/public spaces, friendly staff, easy check in process, good location with lots of bus routes and in between the two train stations.

    A few small improvements could really enhance the experience at the hostel. For example, simply adding a floor mat in the bathroom would help keep the floor from getting wet after someone takes a shower. Installing shelves in the shower area would provide a place to put shampoo, conditioner, and soap. Adding a full-length mirror in the women’s room would also be a nice touch. These are simple, low-cost changes that could significantly improve the overall comfort for guests.

    The hostel is well located, I did almost all the sightseeing on foot (Grand Place and everything around it). I found the room to be spacious and clean. Breakfast is basic (bread, cheese/ham, coffee/milk/tea, yogurt, and fruits). Don’t expect anything extra like scrambled eggs or similar, but I thought it was fine for the price. The hostel is also very quiet and has a good common area setup (tables, sofas, phone chargers, water fountain). I think it offers good value for money if you're looking for something simple, quiet, and clean. I recommend it.

    The hostel has great ‘hang out’ places. On all levels. I was able to hang out after check out until later in the evening when my bus came - without an extra charge. Breakfast was awesome.
