HI Europa Brugge Reviews

Nice place, but not on the center.

The staff is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of Bruges. The rooms are nice and clean, however the mattress is more of a foam pad to sleep on. The breakfast they serve in the morning is wonderful, with a selection of meats, cheeses, breads, cereals, juices, and spreads. The downfall is the location. It is way too far from the city center. If you plan on staying out late, find a hostel closer to the city center.

The hostel is cheap, breakfast was good and room was okay. The staff was just terrible! Very rude and unprofessional. The information we received about the hostel was incorrect and the shower was ice cold!

It was a lovely hostel.. I love it.. is just 10 minutes walk from the train station and very close to downtown as well, stuff is very friendly and helpfull too. it has green Areas, parking, free Wifi, The Breakfast is one of the best I've have... is just the best place to stay in Town =)

Loved my stay here. Perfect location with a very short walk to the centre, free parking which was excellent as it would otherwise be difficult to park in Brugges. The most welcoming staff which provide all the tourist information you need. Very good breakfast, would definitely stay here again

Probably 15, 20 minute walk away from the centre of Brugges itself (if you're out late having a few drinks, have fun with that walk), so the location is a drag. Unfortunately, like many (but not all...) HI hostels, the atmosphere is cold and unwelcoming. The staff were alright, but not particularly warm; not much interaction with guests. Access to internet, but you have to pay for it...no thanks. Facilities are clean enough, enough toilets/showers. Biggest complaints: location, no character.

Showers where terrible no pressure at all. Long way out of town. Staff where not welcoming or friendly. Expensive Net. The place looks and feels like some kind of army basic training camp and everyone staying here seemed to be there purely due to everything in town being booked out for saturday night. The only redeeming factor was that the bartender was a great bloke to have a quiet beer and a chat to.

I left my room key in the key safe because I didn't want to take it to town. As a result I was locked out at the gate on the street. No intercom and no one answering the phone. Note a room key is for A room not every lock in the place...

There was no hot water in the morning. Even though there were not many guests, it's not on to say you can only have cold water.

It looks like an army camp. Moreover, the lady at the reception was very unfriendly and did some mistakes with my bookings.

All most every service cost, internet has a cost of 2 eu per 30 min. For the high price of the room, this just not woth it

Thoroughly decent place to stay. It may not be flash, but it's clean, well kept, staff are helpful and welcoming, breakfast is plentiful and overall very reasonably priced. The walk is 5-7 minutes to the edge of the old town, then probably another 5-7 to the main square. Recommended for those on a budget and just looking for a place to sleep while exploring Bruges.

Staff were great, really friendly and helpful. Slightly out of the main part of Bruges but nowhere is a long walk. Clean rooms, breakfast was great.

I can't believe there is no soap in the bathroom - that is just basic! do you really have the best in mind for your patrons? it's not that I don't have my soap but it is just so inconvenient to have to remember to bring soap every single time you go to the washroom! Also, the staff were not friendly nor helpful. They didn't try to help with info. I was staying at Shelter City and Shelter Jordan in Amsterdam just before I came here - what a world of difference! you could learn from them!!!

clean rooms and beds, quiet place to sleep.you can find cheese and fruits in breakfast. toilets are not clean, smell is bed and no soap in the toilet! you have to pay for internet, 2 euro for 30minutes and it doesnt work in rooms

This was a great location for Brugge, just outside city walls and 15minutes easy walk to the main square even with kids. The room was clean and had en-suite and breakfast included. We were happy that we could leave our car there whilst touring the city. There were no cooking facilities, but a take-away down the street did the job.

The hostel has everything you need, but is definitely not a youth hostel style accommodation. It would have been nice to have an atmospheric common area, or hostel organised activities. Also the location is a little bit inconvenient, but nothing too major.

I felt very comfortable at this hostel. Everything was clean and orderly. Not too much going on in the evenings, but a good place to relax after a long day. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast was great!

It's waht you expect for the money. It's clean, close to the City Centre, secure and FREE parking and breakfast!!!

clean and tidy with friendly staff
