The location is just brilliant. The names of the places make for hilarious conversation too as you sound like you're in a kids TV show. The bar below the hostel is great and the atmosphere brill but not forced 'young backpacker' party pushing. The map and guide is incredibly helpful and the hostel offer perks such as tours and bike... More

We stayed here for three nights in the Spring of 2011. ..We had a private room for two here..but it had bunk buds...it was accesible through another room which itself had 4-5 bunk beds. So you get the privacy but if the outside group is noisy then sleep may be hard to come by. The common area on the ground... More

The location was good. So was the downstairs area. But the first dorm we stayed in was pretty cramped. The bigger dorm that we shifted to was nicer with a bigger toilet. The biggest turn off were the showers which were located outside the building, without doors (there were just curtains) and you had to hold on to a chain... More

I was surprised how cheap a bed in this place was after travelling down through Holland and other parts of Belgium, but it makes a bit more sense when you realise you're crammed into a room with a lot of other people. The stairs were a bit of an issue as I have giant feet and kept feeling like I... More

This hostel has oodles of character and a great atmosphere. The downstairs bar has local beer, probably the cheapest in Bruges? There is free wifi in the bar and a lot of tables to chill out. The rooms are good, ours was a 4 bed mixed dorm with a shower, there was lots of space and it was clean. It... More

Snuffel is a busy hostel about a 5 minute walk from the main square, in an interesting and beautiful neighbrhood near canals and historic buildings. The staff are friendly and helpful, the bar lively and cheap, the rooms clean and charming. A central courtyard, outdoor tables, large lounge, and diverse population makes for a good visit to Bruges. Note that... More

When first arrived thought 'bit of a dump' and 'a bit too scene'. Although the linen is all torn to bits everything else seems pretty clean. Had a great stay, very easy to meet fellow travellers and good bar to just chill out in. Wish I'd been staying 2 nights. Bar/reception guy friendliest/coolest/most interesting person I've come across on my... More

The hostel is only 5 minutes from Grand Place. The guy in reception is very useful. The hostel is clean and fun. There is a electrical power point inside your security loccker; it allow you to charge your notebook, cam, phone, etc without fear of been stolen. Disvantage: the showers are so far from the dormitories. You must cross the... More
