Everything about the hostel was OK, except for having to go through the snow to have a shower hehe.

The showers are pretty far from the rooms. In the cold you must walk through the bar, the kitchen and the garden to get showers. It's difficult to use them too. The beds were not clean but they gave clean sheets. Inside the room there are lockers. And the breakfast is not bad. Except from these I didn't like the hostel. I don't recommend it especially in winter. Better look somewhere else to stay.

The hostel was a great place to stay to wander around Bruges and staff were really helpful about day trips around Belgium. Two things i really didnt like about the hostel. 1. The showers! Many people have already commented on them and they really are the biggest pain, not only to get to since its dpwnstairs through the courtyard, unisex and difficult to use. pulling on the chain was not fun and the water pressure was crazy. It felt lile something out of boot camp. 2. The thin windy creeky stairs

The worst thing is the snail type stairs. It`s terrible for anyone to go up those stairs with any kind of luggage you carry. Another bad thing was that the showers close at 12 at night. They just turn off the ligths and that's it. And the bar isn't open till late at night. At 23.30 the bartender starts telling your that he has to close de bar and doesn't even let you stay there Dispite all those things, the staff is really kind and attentive, the prices are in good value and the rooms are great

Having to pull the cord to take a shower is somewhat inconvenient.

Very good hostel, I've stayed there for just 1 night but the staff helped me giving a map and aswering everything about sighseeing, places to go shopping, etc. as well as they gave me a city map and a discount card. The facilities aren't brand new but they work, I booked a 4 bed room that was really good, the only problem was that to get there I had to pass trough the 8 beds dorm and unvoluntary make some noise, disturbing those who were sleeping there.

Only stayed here 1 night. The music in the bar was loud and we went to bed around 1am and it was still going. Couldn't get to the bathrooms unless you went through the bar, which is full of locals! The hostel had comfy beds and was warm! Good free breakfast and average kitchen. Bike hire is cheap! Not a bad place for a night or two

Good happy hour, cute patio with picnic tables, and great music. The room was nice, but we could hear the music from downstairs when we went to bed. We asked if we could change beds and not be right next to the door, and they did so with no problems. We really appreciated it. Thanks!

This hostel was absolutely amazing, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The atmosphere is perfect, with a chill bar in the lobby with lots of cheap local Belgian beer and many places to sit and hang out. Plenty of board games to pass a little time in between discovering the city. I was pick-pocketed outside of the bus station, and Sophie (Sofi?) was absolutely AMAZING in helping me out. The staff was really friendly and helpful.
