Very good value for money, with spacious room and a very nice continental breakfast included. Staff was friendly and helpfull and made us feel at home. Close to metro and within walking distance of central attrations. No lift, so travel light. We will definately stay there again.

Excellent location, especially while the Christmas market was going on. Double bed wasn't great--smallest movement created a small-scale earthquake. Very clean, quiet, and cozy. Bathroom and shower were three lengths of stairs away, somewhat irritating.

Our stay here was great! I can't say enough about the staff. We ran into some problems and we couldn't get to Brussels until 11:30pm and the man was nice enough to wait for us. They were very friendly and accommodating when we finally arrived and offered us many suggestions on things to do. The room and bathroom were both very clean and the chocolates on the pillows were a great touch! We would definitely stay here again if we're ever back in Brussels! Thank you for being so understanding!

For the price, the hostel is great. The owner is fantastic and is extremely helpful. The location is fantastic, especially for the Christmas markets. The room could have been a little cleaner, but overall the place was great.

I cannot rate this place highly enough. We stayed in a 3-bed private ensuite to go visit the Christmas markets, which were literally on the doorstep, the metro is at the end of the road, so easy to find. The owner was great, we arrived early, but he let us into the room and gave us the keys so we could drop our stuff off, and head out. The rooms felt like an apartment, we had a lounge area, bathroom, toilet, kitchen. Amazing. Breakfast was basic continental. But it was just amazing place.

Absolutely beautiful. Great view, great bed, and a room that was way too nice for 3 college kids. The staff were very friendly, and were a great time at breakfast. The location is really close to some great restaurants and bars, and is steps away from the Beguinage.

"Family room" on highest floor of building is nice but quite difficult to climb around 4 floors of stairs especially if you have a lot of luggage. There is no elevator. Nice location, close to historic center of Brussels and Metro station.

Great place, well located in a quiet street near Place St. Catherine and Beguinage. Really nice breakfast and a very kind staff. Definitely recommended! The only thing that bothered (but not that much) us was the noise of people slamming the door to get in or out. But since it happens almost anywhere we stay, I sincerely think it's lees their fault than people being incapable of realizing that there are other people around them. I'll surely stay there again when I come back to Brussels.

This is the first time i rank an accommodation for 100%! First, the hotel is just 5mins from the St. Catherine Station, which is 5 stops from Brussel Midi Station! The friendly boss show us where our room is. Keys after keys (tight security), and what we have when we saw the room was: Wow! It's like a service apartment with small living room and kitchen. Free WiFi and breakfast really add credits to this hotel. What we paid is really really worthy! And, it's just 15mins walk to the GrandPlace!

Very good location, very clean and the owner is a great guy who will give you nice tips about Brussels. If you don't mind the only WC being in the 3rd floor, go for it!

Very cute little place, easy to get to. Staff are sometimes a bit hard to find though. When checking in there was no answer when I rang the bell which was worrying! Took some time before they realised their customers were there. And then at check-out there was no one in sight, I had to leave a note with my key as I had a train to Paris to catch! But the room was nice, although more bathrooms would help - I was on floor five so it was three flights down to use the one toilet.

Interesting hostel, with steep staircase. Location is excellent, close to metro (subway) station. Although facing street, you can have a good night's sleep in your room. Excellent accomodation for 1-2 nights, if you don't mind sharing bathroom and shower with "a couple" (probably 5-6) people.

This hostel is more like a hotel. The staff are very friendly and professional. They are great in helping you plan your time in Brussels. The entire place is extremely clean and was an absolute pleasure to stay at. Great breakfast. STRONGLY reccommend.
