Bien, regresaría porque incluye desayuno y es muy bueno. Las consignas no cierran, así que lleva un candado contigo. El lugar es seguro. Tienen bar y opciones para comer. No incluye toallas. El personal es amable. Tienen buen horario de desayuno. Las vistas desde el hostal son muy bonitas. Yo caminé siempre al centro de la ciudad y me tomaba 25 minutos. Nunca usé transporte. Si te gusta caminar, también es buena opción. ¡Puedes rellenar tu botella de agua en una purificadora!

fine place to stay in general, the area around the hostel is quite dirty and not the most beautiful part of the city. Still the hostel was fine, the kitchen is great and the free breakfast is also nice. Dorm was fine. Location is not really central but you can walk to the city centre in 20min

Smells like shit, in a terrible area. Weird system for linens. Not super friendly/fun atmosphere - not backpacker hostel

Overall, for the cheap price this hostel can be fine to sleep at. The location is very sketchy so I would not recommend for female solo travelers. The front desk asked for 5 euros in cash only to store my stuff when I got there, but then later in the trip had no change for a 20 so I'm not sure where that cash is going. The lockers in the room will only be able to be locked with an extremely thick lock that can be rented at the front desk with a 5 euro deposit that will be returned when you give ...

It’s hard writing a hostel review because you are usually looking for the cheapest place to stay. This was comfortable. Breakfast was provided in my booking. I do wish reception better informed me about the rules and amenities. But they were really nice. The people are a bit older at this hostel, including 40s. The location is a 25 minute walk to the city center. It is not the safest part of town. I would travel in groups. The hostel has multiple doors for security.

Ostello pulito, non lontano dal centro e colazione molto buona. La stanza aveva una temperatura troppo elevata, quasi da non riuscire a dormire.

Hostel was decently clean, free breakfast was good. However the location is not the best, as it seems to be in a sketchy neighborhood. Would recommend to not come back too late to the hostel at night if traveling alone

Overall, I had a good experience at this hostel. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and even though we arrived around 11:45 pm, they kindly checked us in without any problem, which I really appreciated. The only downside of my stay was the sleeping experience. Unfortunately, some fellow travelers were not very considerate—coming into the room around 2 am without keeping in mind that others were already sleeping. Of course, this isn’t the hostel’s fault, but more about the culture...

It is definitely not a bacnpackers hostel or a youth hostel. In my room all of my roommates were between 40 and 60, it was uncomfortable. Also a lot of familes. Small bathrooms with a weird smell, but the breakfast was great.

Le personnel est super souriant et toujours disponible à répondre aux questions. Les seuls points négatifs sont que la cuisine ouvre uniquement à 11h donc pour ceux qui prévoient partir tôt avec leur goûter déjà prêt, ce n'est pas possible et qu'il ne semble y avoir personne qui fait le ménage de cette cuisine, autant pour le réfrigérateur que les comptoirs. à environ 20 minutes à pied de la grande place.

Stayed here for 2 nights. If you are driving, the car park is big and safe, however they did not let you park in it until you had checked in, so we had to search for a place to park first which was a little difficult. The staff were nice and even helped me search for something I thought I had lost after we had checked out. The beds and bathrooms were clean and there were lockers for each bed (bring your own padlock). The walk into Brussels is around 15 mins (not the nicest of walks however).

Hôtel très propre, gros plus avec le parking, le petit déjeuner est correct. L’ambiance reste un peu triste, tu serais bien de créer un espace convivial accueillant
