Gîte d'Etape - Youth Hostel Jacques Brel Reviews

Hostel is excellent. I strongly recomended. Everything is extremely clean. Breadkfast is very good and stuff is helpfull

Please clean your bathroom's more often. My room was smelly

I only stayed for one night, but from what I saw it had a pretty good atmosphere. The room was quite nice—I got put into a 4 bed instead of 6 bed—and the bathroom was clean. No reason why I wouldn't stay again.

The hot water supply was not stable. Also the room wasn't being clean properly everyday. Staff were all really friendly and helpful though. Would love to go there again in the future but please fix the hot water system.=)

Excellent atmosphere, good location, very nice bar inside the hostel open till 1AM (beer for 1,30E), clean sheets and bedrooms. I just think that the reception could be open 24hs, if you're dealing with travellers you should be able to cope with their arrival time. I recommend.

This hostal is OK,is what you get from regular hostal,nothing more. The locations is OK,but not perfect,you still have to take the subway to make it into the city center. When I was there,there were a lot of elderly people and the atmosphere was not as cool. The staff is super nice,they help you in whatever you need and are super helpful,the hostal is clean,a bit old but really clean. The security it´s not bad but sometimes in the night is you´re all girls maybe it´s not the best.

Good place, nice helpful staff.

Nice clean hostel with friendly staff. Enjoyed our stay here. Good location, not in the centre but only 10/15 mins walk.

Doesn't have a reception, I had to check in in the bar. The batman said there was no reservation till I showed the message. No place to charge my phone in the room.

Guest Kitchen was being renovated although the bar served some meals, overall great place to stay, convenient to get to, staff we very helpful, our private bathroom in our twin room only had a shower and sink but the toilet was around the corner from the room so not a problem and it was always clean, definitely recommend it

A bit of a walk (maybe 15 mins?) from the city center. The rooms were decent, with lockers and showers inside the rooms. Plenty of space. The downstairs bar had a grest selection of beers for really cheap!

I spent two nights here and had so much fun! I met plenty of people at the cosy bar and the hostel staff were all very friendly and attentive. The rooms were clean, although the bathrooms sometimes smelt a little of sewerage, but overall that did not bother me. Located in a quite little street - you will have no problems there! Free breakfast good, would come back! :)

Possibly the most unfriendly and boring hostel in excistence. Going to the dentist to have teeth pulled is more fun. Rooms were dirty and smelly, staff were rude and unhelpful, location is ok but the directions from the hostel are poor. Good security gate at main entrance and lockers provided in the rooms. Not a good hostel if your travelling or backpacking across europe. The rest of my visit in Brussels I spent at the sleep well hostel that is right in the city centre and everything this is not

Big hostel, good if you're traveling alone and looking to meet others. Not the best location however. Big dorm like rooms with airplane bathrooms. Very loud at night with slamming doors; thin walls. Check out Sleep Well instead

The staff were friendly and extremely attentive to all queries. However, i was travelling alone and shared a room with a group of 5 other girls on a school trip, who snuck their boyfriends into the room during the night. As the reception was closed, i was unable to get any assistance and had to put up with the sound of giggling and squeaking beds throughout the night. Reception should be open 24/7 for security reasons!!

Seemed Like place mostly for groups. Power was hard to find. wifi only worked in lobby i found it hard to socialise here. i would not stay here again

A reasonable hostel in a good location. Security lockers are downstairs and not in the room. Currently undergoing renovation so it's very loud and noisy during the day if you are chilling in the common area. Had a few issues at check-in with being assigned an all female dorm (I'm male), but was sorted out fairly easily. Would stay here again.

Reasonable hostel for the price. Kitchen is under renovation so can't prepare meals. No large lockers in room, but there are some in the basement which are ok. Common area isn't very relaxing, but otherwise is a decent hostel for what you pay for.

Had a great time at the hostel, only needed it for the weekend as a place to sleep while we went out drinking. There werent many ppl there to talk with but it was November and not many tourists. The staff was friendly and the bartender was helpful as well. The location isnt bad either, not far from the metro. Only problem the group had was on our second night when we returned two other ppl were there one took my bed and the other guy had his stuff on my friends beds. Other than that, it was fine

One of the best hostels I ever have stayed. Staff very friendly, and nice people staying there. I recomend it. The location is fairly good, near to a two metro station.
