Relato de um hóspede Booking.com
The place is brand new and an in- and outside common room had all kinds of free games to offer to connect with different places to sit and meet up with other guests. The rooms didnt offer any gaps for bedbugs to hide and the shower+toilet were inside the dorm. Very strong metal bunkbeds. Although the hostel has an ingenious concept to save costs by mattresses that have waterproof covers (fortunately it wasn't too hot) of beds that can be made and unmade by the guests, so very few personell for such a big hostel, the price of €30 for an 8 bedded room in the weekend, was including a breakfast that had apples or old oranges being the only fresh food. No cucumber, onion, tomatoes or salad.

The breakfast was a nice addition, though you certainly pay for it in the room cost. Staff let me drop my bag off in the morning and were friendly overall I woke up at around 2am due to itching and found bed bugs on my arms and also on my pillow. It was horrible and I have loads of itchy spots. This was not acceptable to have bed bugs and it ruined my trip to Belgium. Needless to say, I did not have a good night sleep on my one night, and resorted to sleeping on the floor due to the bugs. This was my first ever experience with actually seeing bed bugs and while there were not loads, they certainly left their mark. It is a hostel definitely on the more expensive end of hostels that I have stayed and even with breakfast, my experience was absolutely not worth it. To make it worse, there were no staff working at all the following morning as they were not to begin until 2.30pm, meaning I was unable to inform anyone. Bed bugs in one bed may indicate they are in others too. It's not worth the breakfast, I don't recommend it
Análise do ambiente
Charleroi Youth Hostel funciona melhor como uma parada pratica ao lado da estacao Charleroi-Central, conexoes de onibus e transporte para o aeroporto. O edificio e moderno, claro e central, com uma estrutura que pode ser util por uma noite antes ou depois de viajar. O andar comum e a parte mais viva: ha uma area tipo bar com sofas, musica, sinuca, pebolim e tenis de mesa. Pode ser um lugar decente para conhecer gente, especialmente quando o espaco de entretenimento esta ativo. Os quartos sao muito mais basicos que as areas publicas. Espere beliches, lencois em modo faca-voce-mesmo, pouca calidez na decoracao e uma sensacao de hostel mais perto de hospedagem funcional do que de hangout aconchegante. O cafe da manha pode ajudar, mas e simples e o horario importa para saidas muito cedo ao aeroporto.
Sinais para conferir
- Barulho pode ser um problema real vindo da rua, terraco, area do bar, portas e quartos compartilhados.
- A area ao redor pode parecer pesada ou desconfortavel a noite, e estacionamento nao e um ponto forte.
- As camas podem ter colchao ou travesseiro com sensacao plastica, e toalhas ou amenities podem custar extra ou faltar.
- Alguns beliches de dormitorio podem nao ter lockers, prateleiras, tomadas, luzes ou espaco pessoal suficiente.
- O cafe da manha e basico e pode nao funcionar bem para saidas muito cedo.
