The staff was extremely pleasant. The facility very clean, the beds were very comfortable. The rooms were large and had much natural light from the windows and door across the room. I would stay there again.

Terrible place to stay. Even for a night. The whole hostel is very dirty an small awful! The showers don't work well and there is a lot of water on the floor because the sewer is overflooded!! Ridiculous place. No food at all. No reception. Very far from everything!

Nice place. The lobby bar is pretty good (and cheap). Breakfast isn't much, but good enough. Overall a good experience.

Not on the city center but you can reach the city center on foot 15 minutes. The bathrooms arent clean and there isnt any liquid soap. Yes, there is a free breakfast. . We stayed at for 6 female rooms. In the room there are only two plugs. It is too little for six people. I think that staff want to make profit by this way. When u go there, you'll see.

It's out of the way and the rooms are fairly grimy. The bathrooms are very dirty, and the showers are terrifying. I'd try to find a place within the old city.

Really not that far from town, like a ten minute walk max. Inexpensive, clean, and nice staff. (and free breakfast!) It seems to be a place for school groups to stay, but there are nice people to meet as well..

Everything about this hostel is basic. Rooms are chilly, showers poor, staff indifferent at best. The walk into town is the least of this place's problems. Fine if you just need to crash for the night, but shell out for a B and B if not.

The hostel has a good breakfast with meat, fruit, and toast. The rooms were clean and the one I stayed in had a sink in it. The hot water is good but you have to push the water on every thirty seconds.However, I would suggest the hostel clean its blankets more - they were very dirty. My main complaint though is that the staff did not seem friendly or helpful. Great atmosphere in the common room though. Overall a good experience with minor problems. I would stay here again.

There are a few hostels located in the heart of Bruges, but if you don\'t mind walking about 15 min to the sites then this hostel is for you. Very clean, breakfast was ok, bread with jam, cheese and cereal. Showers are the kind you need to keep pushing to stay on but at least the water is warm. Beds are ok and wifi works well, I met cool ppl There so go out and be social Bruges had been my favorite city to visit so far.

Overall very good hostel with great breakfast. It was a little far out of the city centre but it's a 20 minute walk. Definitely would go back.

The internet was paid and only worked at the first floor. The bathrooms was ok, but the water to take shower was cold. The breakfast was good.

Hi Europa was definitely off the beaten path. An estimated 15 minute walk away from the train station, but it was necessary to take mass transportation to get anywhere in actual Bruges. This wouldn't be a terrible issue, if there were actually things around the hostel. Everything (the town grocery store, and the gas station) close down by dinner time, making it impossible to pick up shampoo or food last minute. Also, there was no soap in the bathrooms. More of a hostel for large school groups.
