Summary of traveller reviews

Generation Europe Youth Hostel in Brussels offers a clean and comfortable stay with a great free breakfast. Staff are generally friendly and helpful. While the location is a bit of a walk from the city centre and in a less appealing neighbourhood, the hostel itself provides good facilities and is a solid choice for travellers seeking value.

I truly enjoyed my stay here. Even though there was an issue with my booking, the receptionist made an adjustment without any hesitation. Stayed in the 4 beds room, which had private shower and bathroom. The room was quite big and the big window made it pleasant to have fresh air flowing through. The breakfast was perfect, with plenty of choices! The location is safe as well, I had no issue at all even though most of the nights I was walking home late at night!
