It blew my mind. That's all I can say. If you like creepy French guys with clothes too sizes too small then this is the place for you. Other then that hands down best and only hostel I stayed in Brussels.

The hostel was very clean. The breakfast I think will be complete with ham, nevertheless was good. The location of the hostal is not good, the surroundings look like dangerous.

We LOVED this place! The staff at the bar chatted with us in Spanish before he found out we were American and we ended up with a group of 6 or 7 Spanglish speakers having a great time laughing and chatting by the bar. Everything was awesome, the beds were comfortable, and the place was impeccably clean. I thought the location would be a downer but really it's so easily accessible by public transportation that it didn't affect us at all. I would DEFINITELY recommend staying here.

Quite agood location, near a metro stop or just 15minutes walk into the city. Not the kind of area you want to walk around at night though. Staff were helpful and friendly, the breakfast was good and it was clean. The hostel does host school groups though so keep that in mind when booking.

The hostel is not bad, but there are a number of things about it that made it not ideal for someone traveling by yourself; 1. there are a lot of youth groups, and families, not ideal for meeting other backpackers 2. the location is out of the city center and not really close, within a could of blocks, of any metro stations aside from that the breakfast is good for what you pay, and everything is very clean and safe.
