Die Atmosphäre im Hostel war sehr angenehm. Leider war das "Deluxe Einzelzimmer" insofern kein Einzelzimmer, weil der Dauerbewohner dieses Zimmers seine Sachen dort deponiert hatte - und daher ab und zu (in meiner Abwesenheit) das Zimmer betreten hat. Das hatte ich mir bei einem Einzelzimmer, das doppelt so teuer, wie der Schlafsaal war, eigentlich anders vorgestellt.

Owner Comment (Show)
Good morning Hanne, Thanks for your feedback. As I wasn't in when you arrived, so I own you a little explanation about the conditions of your room. At the time you booked, the room was still available for rent. It's only after your booking date that I decided to offer this room to Boris, an Armenian student who was desperately looking for a place to stay, after which date I withdrew the room for renting, at the condition that he let his room for guest who booked before this decision was made. So, what he did for you is, I think, very appreciable. By the way, I am letting my own room also regularly if I have guests that have problems finding a place. Generally people are very thankful for this. So, I wasn't aware you would consider this as a negative element. As I keep my archives in that room, I indeed need sometimes to get into the room, which is, I think, absolutely acceptable. As owner I have the right to do it, and even have to do it, for instance for housekeeping issues. Second, I don't think you can compare my individual private room with a dorm. The room is beautifully furnished with antique furniture and is completely isolated from the other rooms. I feel sorry that your feeling about this place has been influenced so strongly by these feelings, and that I haven't been able to transmit the real spirit of this house. Kind regards, Karel

Very nice time I spent in this house. The house is very nice with a beautiful garden. Owner and stuff are very kind and helpful. Location is good not in the center but very close in a quiet and safe area, and close to metro and shops.Breakfast was good. I would recommend this hostel. Owner has a dog that is so sweet. To point out that I forgot a ring in the hostel and the ring was found, I will get it back. Hodstel is very safe and you feel that you are in the local atmosphere at home. Greetings to

This hostel was a great change from the multi-bedded dorm rooms I'd been used to, staying instead in what is really someone's home in a residential area near the main part of Brussels. I felt really at home the whole time I was there and met some great people. The hostel has a real relaxed feeling to it, and is great if you're looking for some downtime, though the bars are never very far away either!

Adorable hostel! The house, the host, the dog, the backyard...everything is lovely about this place! About a 15 minutes walk from Grande-Place, in a nice Art nouveau neighboorhood. Nice breakfast with fruits and most comfortable beds for a hostel so far. The owner is really nice and helpful. Definetely a home away from home :)

Thank you for a perfect stay. Have already recommended! This is very open and friendly accommodation, definitely suited to those who are maybe passing through for study or work reasons as it is a very relaxing place to come back to after a long day. Received a very warm welcome and the host is extremely accommodating.

Super nice place, super nice people! A quiet atmosphere, the cleanest rooms ever and an owner who makes you feel like you're part of the family! I'd recommend this place to anyone who comes to Brussels. :) The location is great too: close to the parvis de saint gilles where you can find lots of pubs and so on

This is a great place to stay and I highly recommend it. We got a very friendly welcome and overall, Sleephere has a very warm feel to it. Everyone is very pleasant and you feel instantly comfortable. We stayed in the double room which was really cosy and the shared bathroom was very clean. Many thanks!

a nice hostel.

I stayed in the private single bed room. This is more of a B&B without the elaborate breakfast but the breakfast was good - toast + Speculoos spread = yum. Location is fairly easy to get around. Walking distance to city center or a quick 5-8 minute metro ride. Karel is a very welcoming, helpful and informative host and the house is beautiful and well furnished. The room and faciltiies are in good condition - did not notice any air conditioning. Guests were all friendly. Not a party atmosphere.

a beautiful building with marble floors with a feeling you are staying at a friends house (a friends with lots of money) but if you are alone it is not the livliest place.
