It was a really nice experience, the rooms were big and the beds were ok, also it was very clean. There had lots of thing to do inside the hostel like movies, board games, nice terrace. The best part was the breakfast included thing. I will recommend a 100% this hostel for anyperson who like a clean and confortable place to spend the nights in antwerp.

Great hostel, run by 2 people who are very friendly and made my stay there great. The common room always had interesting people there and it was very social. The beds, rooms and showers were all clean no problems there. Kitchen has lots of equipment, and they provide ingredients for breakfast. They showed me on the map all the good places to go in the area as well, Antwerp would not have been as interesting if not for them!

Nice hostel. Very quiet when I stayed. Good kitchen and plenty of space. Location was fine, though a bit of a walk to city centre. Bed not very comfy. Spacious rooms. Lovely staff. Recommend.

I like how one of the owners welcomed me in when I showed up far too early, and I thought that all of the facilitys were good; but maybe the atmosphere was quiet. I think maybe it was a combination of not so many people and everyone sort of wanted to keep to themselves. Perhaps I was not in the busy season...Some rooms are enclosed inside which seems kind of cave like, otherwise a good hostel.

Thanks for your review! We try to help all of our guests! That s why I was especially here for you outside of check in hours. The other guests were having a great time playing risk and sjoelen,... After checking out all of our rooms and choosing for about and hour,.. We re happy you found our hostel and our facilities good :)

Pretty good hostel, good atmosphere, safe and in a decent location. Simple but exactly what you would expect from a youth hostel.

Before I chose this hostel to stay I read from other people's review that this is a place where you feel at home outside your home, and it's so true! I had this feeling of home from the 1st minute already. The place doesn't look like a typical hotel or hostel but has plenty of creations and personal traits everywhere. The living room and kitchen just felt like those in somebody's home.Staff is welcoming,atmosphere is great,price is cheap,and I would definitely come back!

This was a great experience. Greg and Bridget are like family, in fact many people thought I was her daughter! They're backpackers too so they know exactly what travelers want. This hostel is a little walk to the city center but easy to find and charming to stay in. The big common area allows for people to meet and talk at night or whenever they want. They even give you great maps.Would stay here again in a heartbeat. In fact if I go back Bridget and I are going to eat tex-mex.

Doors don't lock, but lockers were provided. Kitchen roof leaks.

The roof of the hall leaked because of severe weather conditions but was fixed by greg the next day :)

I think I would have liked Antwerp more if we'd stayed in a hostel NOT located in the groady, run-down area of town. We had a hard time finding the place, since the outside signage was so small, and standing out in the cold for a few minutes buzzing the doorbell wasn't fun. I had to call the number provided even though we were arriving during the appropriate check-in time. The interior is very factory-like with little character,& disturbingly quiet. Wish the owners would have been around more
