Located in a rougher part of town. There were also some very strange people bunking in our room which made staying there very uncomfortable.

The hostel is almost on the edge of the city center, so I felt a little unsafe when walking there. Each room has its own bathroom, but unfortunately the stream from the shower is too tiny and not hot enough, also no hair dryer. Anyway, the staffs are nice and the breakfast is not bad. Still, you could feel a bit noisy if you want to sleep early.

There were no directions from Tram Station Porte de Flandre the way its is informed in the website than it took me so long to find the hostel and it was at night and it was not cool to walk in the streets around. I think the showers were not hot enough. Overall good hostel, didnt find the neighbourhood good but it is very close to main sights. Breakfast is really good, with many things and bedrooms were ok. Would recommend despite all.

My largest issue with the hotel was the staff and their abilities to accommodate guests. The wifi went out midway though the day, and I understand that stuff like that happens but no one took steps to fix the issue. It was still broken the next morning. They have computers with working internet, so I figured I'd just use those...except they wanted to charge me to use them, even though their wifi was broken. Terrible. On the positive side, good breakfast and "green" mentality.

Average big hostel, not in the center but close enough. Area is a bit colorful, but I didn't feel unsafe. I chose this hostel for its location, as I was going to a concert next door. Room was ok, but bathroom and toilet are separated. I din't like it, as you almost always need to you both. There's no sink in the toilet room. The way it's constructed, sounds that come from bathroom and toilet are very loud.

The only drawback I noticed in the hostel - there was no soap in the bathroom. All other things wer perfect, especially breakfast and luggage security.

I did feel quite unsafe in the area the hostel was located but it was an easy walk to the city. Rooms were large with good sized lockers. Breakfast was well equipped. Would recommend if you're happy to be back in the hostel before dark
