A good place to stay in Belgium, cheap, clean, secure, stuff speak a lot of languages and you can meet a lot of new people here. Maybe they should improve breakfast because if you are a little late you cannot find almost nothing.

Living in London I appreciated how spacious this hostel was, no cramped stairwells or rooms here. My girlfriend and I took a twin room which was huge with a lovely street view. Bathroom unit is a little strange felt like something out of Space Odyssey but good shower pressure and hot water which really matters in hostels! Free breakfast was very decent and the view over the courtyard is fantastic. Only complaint is that this hostel is a bit of a walk to the city centre but there are busses.Living in London I appreciated how spacious this hostel was, no cramped stairwells or rooms here.

Dont be fooled by the St Christophers logo! Rooms were revolting, they hadnt made a clean bed for when I arrived, in fact didnt know which bed was clean to make up in the room. Young guy at reception attempted to make it for me. Room smelt of smoke and was filthy. I woke up with massive insect bites on my leg and arm. Breakfast fine. Location fine. Staff, could be a little more knowledgeable on the area and helpful. There would have to be other options in Brugge before this one. Dont be fooled by the St Christophers logo!

This hostel is just great. Good location, clean, quiet, with helpful staff, bar, amazingly well equipped kitchen and the best breakfast I have ever had in a hostel. Once I come to Brussels again, I'll choose that hostel, no doubt about that. Thank you :)This hostel is just great.

Good location close to metro and not far from center, everything is a walkable distance.Good breakfast. Ensuite shower is a plus.
2 bad points , very small locker so if you have a big bakpack you can't lock it, and no plug in the room.
