The perfect home away from home when you are traveling. After traveling from hostel to hostel, we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated, definitely worth the price.

Sleephere is a unique experience in that it's one big house that is run by the owner. The guy that runs the place is super helpful and friendly. My only complaints are that none of the rooms can really be locked, unless you are only staying with people you know. So not necessarily anywhere super secure to store your stuff - even though it wasn't a problem. Also, the hot water heater is too small for the house as I ended up having to take cold showers when many people had gone. Nice place to stay

Owner Comment (Show)
Good evening Danielle, Your feed-back drew all my attention. You say this place was great, but your score is only 73 %. I feel so sad about this. Let me explain 2 things. First, you should not compare my house with the more traditional Hostel. This place is small, with a "family" spirit, not a big sleeping factory. As a result of this, respect is implicit. Installing a battery of lockers would not be compatibel with this. However, I can always put things away safely, of course. But I can only do this when you ask for it. I believe I explained this to you, no? Second, I am sorry for the hot water. This is an exceptional situation. Your feed-back made me think about a possible solution. So, thanks again, Karel

We were very well received by the owner, he is very polite and nice. The only thing we can raise is the lack of hot water.

The owner is the best! He can answer all your questions, great recs for yummy local Belgian food, chocolate tour, bars, basically anything. The hostel itself was GORGEOUS. The room was well-decorated, lovely bathroom, and very comfy bed. Decent breakfast (great time to meet people), free water & coffee anytime. As for location, it's very close (>5min walk) to Louise metro station and not a long walk to the center either (20min). For a chocolate lover, it's 5-10min walk to Zaabar and Sablon sq

Gorgeous home, amazing staff and really fun fellow guests. Breakfast was lovely. Literally the only flaw in the immaculate space is that it doesn't seem to have enough showers for that many guests. I can imagine that it might get hectic if everyone was on the same schedule.

This was a really nice hostel, Karel is a very welcoming person. As soon as i arrived he gave me some good maps of the area and chatted about what i was doing in Brussels. The rooms are very comfortable. I stayed inteh 5 bed mixed dorm which is warm, light and spacious with a table and little sofa. The hostel is in Karels house so there is a good feel to the place and really nicely furnished. (and a friendly dog too!) A+

This place is absolutely amazing. The best hostel I ever stayed at, and it's above all expectatons. It is an authentic art-deco house - the kind of beautiful houses you pass buy and wonder "What is it like to be inside" - so here you can actually sleep in such a house with all the genuine atmosphere of an old family residence. A super-friendly dog will meet you inside and the super-friendly owner will help with all ythe needs.

Karl is such a wonderful host! You feel right at home from the minute you walk in! I also loved the personalities of the people that stay at Sleephere - easy to talk to, full of worldly adventure stories, cultured and easy going! If your staying in Brussels, Sleephere is the place to stay!

It's been just an amazing staying! Very clean, safe, in a really nice area of Brussels; about 20 minutes walk to the city centre. The owner is very nice and helpful and he really makes you feel at home. A great value for money. I strongly recommend this place to everyone..
