Stayed 2 nights 24-26 May 2013 in a private room. Clean, neat, private, quiet, excellent service. My room directly opens its windows to a huge balcony and I love it. The staff even helped me with my luggage when I needed to bring to the basement to temporarily keep them until I got checked in. The night staff was a... More

Stayed here two nights on a short trip to Brussels. Nice clean well run hostel. Lovely staff who answered questions in a friendly way. They have a good breakfast. Lots of hot water in the showers and pretty tight security. All in all a good place to stay - cheap. The hostel bar is no great shake. Dank and confining... More

I stayed here for one night in a dorm room. It was really nice! The staff were very helpful, the facilities were nice, and the breakfast was definitely the fullest and most wide-ranging hostel breakfast I've seen. I also spent a couple hours in the evening at the bar, where the bartender played some really good music and was very... More

This hostel is quite difficult to find but it is certainly in a very nice part of town. Right near a huge flowery roundabout it's just down a side street tucked away. One thing I really appreciated is the security of this place - there's a huge metal gate and entry is through a swipe card. In bedrooms (providing you... More

We stayed in the hostel to celebrate our birthday, The hostel was recommended by the art hostel that had not enough place for our group. We were with a group of 30 poeple and this was the only hostel in Brussels that could host our group. The price was very good (20 euro's per person) and the rooms were clean.... More

Going on my first trip alone to Brussels was for me quite a scary new experience. However thanks to the friendly staff and the nice atmosphere in the youth hostel I had a great first trip, I would not hesitate in returning and will for sure recommend this youth hostel to friends and family.

The bar man tried to charge me more than what I had agreed to online when I got there, I disputed it, and he said I can take it up with reception in the morning, which I did. It was fine after that. The room was a twin. It was roasting! Which, luckily for me, suits me down to the... More
