The facilities were totally fine, but the staff was a bit vague and confusing at times.

There is no really age restriction. I had a really old man in my room, and the floor was full of school kids! Sometimes they are not on time to open the bar... The breakfast is quite good.

Spacious area as dormitory setting, nice lobby, could be improved if there is wifi connection in the room and hotter water for shower.

If you are backpacking this hostel is ok. Lockers in the room would have been apreciated. The staff was helpful and the breakfast was enough.

This place was alright until I showered and noticed bugs all in the shower stalls. The bathroom was overall disgusting too. That and the fact there wasn't hot water made this miserable. It isn't in a good area of Brussels (I didn't see too many nice areas of Brussels though) so don't stay here unless its the only option.

My mom and I stayed here for 3 nights in a private room. The hostel has decent facilities, but the atmosphere was dull. Upon arrival, the receptionist told my mom she would not be able to stay there in the future because she was above the age limit. This age issue was not a problem in any other hostel we stayed in. We asked for clarification about this policy, but the staff could not provide any reason for it. Very uncomfortable, especially because we had booked a private room.

It's a very nice and clean hostel. However, seems a bit old (or in need of some refurbishment). Nonetheless, it's in a good place, it was safe and staff was very helpful.

The staff were very helpful and the hostel had a nice mail lobby/bar area. However they only provide two sheets each so you have no comforter and it gets cold at night. The rooms and bathrooms smell sour. Not the cleanest hostel. Security of the building was good, felt very safe inside. Wouldn't recommend walking outside once it starts to get dark as there are some sketchy neighbors in the area.

Hostel is located in the centre and it was an average experience. They have an age limit of 35 years old which isn't advertised when booking, so my friends decided not to stay. If I knew I would have booked elsewhere. The toilet blocks are outside in the courtyard area so you have to go outside of the rooms to use it. Shower facilities are downstairs past the entertainment room. The showers have a button that has to be constantly pressed to get water out and will get your clothes wet in the c

Nice hostel and staff are nice and helpful. You can only get wifi in the common area which we had to walk down the street to get to. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and nice! I would recommend staying there

It did well the job. Nothing special about the hostel, but nothing bad to say about it either. Staff was very friendly.

Wifi is only in reception part of the main building. If you are in the other part of the hostel down the rd there is no wifi. Not in central area. But 5 mins from metro. Says 18s but we had a school group when we stayed!!
