A very well run hostel with a huge bar / common area and breakfast free of charge. I was in Brussels to do interviews in the EU institutions for my Master thesis, and the staff was very helpful in helping with information and printing. When I was not out doing interviews I was at the hostel working on the thesis. There I saw that the personnel was really serious about cleaning the hostel! Ohh yes, the bar has a big collection of different Belgian beers and a fuss-ball table!!

This was a good hostel, nothing fancy. There was a nice long breakfast and a good kitchen. All and all a good value for money. It opts outside city centre, but that didn't bother me at all.

It's worth the money. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The location is good ,despite it's being quite far away from city centre, it situated in quite a nice area, with local groceries and laundry nearby, and very close to the metro station as well.

The hostel is very well-kept and clean. They had a nice bar with good prices, but it was nearly empty for the thurs and fri we were there. Rooms are secure and lockers are also available. Decent kitchen, filtered water, enough showers/bathrooms. Friendly staff. The main tradeoff is the location - it's pretty far outside of the city center - about 30 min walking / 15 metro. Right near metro stop, but it stops before 1am and most options after midnight involve a 10 min walk.

I stayed in a room for girls only, which was in a different building (around 100m away from the main building). The commom area there is really nice and neat. There's a small kitchen with afridge and the minimum you need to cook. The bedroom is also fine. In general everything was ok. The only disadvantage is that the street there is a bit empty and looks dangerous at night.

It is too noisy during the night when people talk out of the bar in the garden

We had the separate 4-beds room, just besides the bar/terrace of the hostel and that made it harder to sleep peacefully ;) . Besides that our only day spent here was nice and the staff was really helpful and friendly, and it was highly appreciated.

I love the 24 hour come and go policy. The breakfast is pretty big and available for 3 hours. It is also in a very convenient location, being located right by the metro and right next door to the GODIVA factory:)

Hello Hostel is very conveniently located just by a metro station, so getting there is very easy. Security is excellent and the facilities are very clean. My friend and I each booked a 2-bed dorm and ended up in the same room, so we essentially had a private room for the price of a dorm which was great. The free breakfast provided is basic but does the job. There isn't much of a social atmosphere in the hostel though, which is fine if you're not after a party hostel.

the hostel is a fair walk away from the Grand Place and there are not a lot of other establishments around it. However the metro is very quick in Brussels and you can get to the Grand Place quickly. The rooms are spacious and the breakfast in the morning is very good. It is also very nice to have WIFI in all of the rooms.

Not the cleanest place and a bit over priced for its location, but I had clean sheets and breakfast was included.

The hostel was beyond our expectations. We bought the cheapest tickets available at the time, because we were there for only one night. When we got there, their host was super nice and showed us around. We were three people, and got a 4 person room to ourselves. We sat in the bed and were amazed. My friend said it was more comfortable than his bed at home. The room was clean and spacious. Then we saw the bar. It was totally nice, and actually the cheapest place to drink we in town.

Good quality/price report, just the location is not the best, but commodities are just near the hostel to join the center quickly (metro, etc). Good ambiance, nice staff (good plans and clear explanations given at the reception) !

bathrooms should be cleaned more often, kitchen in the ladys hostel is unfortunately not very well equiped. Also the breakfast buffet is very poor - only cereals and toast! Besides that the hostel is worth a stay, though!

Although it was away from the city center, it was located right next to the metro so access to getting around was easily available. The rooms provided were spacious and clean and the breakfast provided was simple but enough to give you a head start on the day. It was, overall a good hostel and they provided young travelers with maps, brochures and information to help plan activities to do in the city.

The Hostel was really clean and most of the personel was nice. It's not far from the citycenter. Nice breakfast, maybe they could serve coffee as well. The only thing I didn't like is that they put me with a 60-year-old man and a 40-year-old japanese, which is actually against the hostel policy. If you're going to Brussels, I definitely recommend you this Hostel :)

The stay was good and the hostel is nice, I would stay there again. One block from the subway, really clean place and a great breakfast. The only bad things were: I think they only had one attendant who spoke English (what made the communication a little tricky) and the beds were a bit thin, but that was it.

The hostel was cute and quite close to a metro stop, which was great since it is a bit outside of the city centre. Strong wifi and good (included) breakfast. No individual lockers, but they do have a storage room you can use. Worked for us!
