My train from Paris was cancelled the day I was supposed to arrive because of a strike in Brussels. I sent the hostel an email that day. The next day I arrived and I was told my reservation had been cancelled. On top of that, the staff weren´t being helpful at all. They couldn´t tell me where the closest hostel was, how to get to them, and they were very slow in general (and to think that the staff at a Christian hostel smoked pot...).My train from Paris was cancelled the day I was supposed to arrive because of a strike in Brussels.

feels good when you are away to meet a group of friendly people. Even though i didn't get to talk much to anyone, their presence was a comfort.feels good when you are away to meet a group of friendly people. Even though i didn't get to talk much to anyone, their presence was a comfort....Close

A Christian Hostel ... not a very social crowd, you can't cook your own meals in the kitchen and the staff is not at all helpful to show you where good social locations are in the cityA Christian Hostel ... not a very social crowd, you can't cook your own meals in the kitchen and the staff is not at all helpful to show you where good social locations are in the city...Close

If you are looking for a peaceful place to sleep at night this hostel may be for you. The room (4 bed male dorm) was cramped, not much space to move around. The lockers in the rooms are also quite small but big enough for a small backpack. You need own padlock for the locker (-don't bring the smallest size lock, it will not fit). Breakfast was average. You can buy very cheap basic meals at the restaurant. The location is not very central but within walking distance from the main sights.If you are looking for a peaceful place to sleep at night this hostel may be for you.
