Youth Hostel Van Gogh (Chab) Reviews

The bed was a little small

The hostel was not that nice, the beds were hard and the staff we dealt with we're very rude with us and not helpful. The showers were not that great either and breakfast was the standard bread and cornflakes. I am postive you could find a better place for the price

Overall we had a good stay at this hostel and would most likely return if in Brussels. However the most inconvenient thing is that u have to check out every day from 10am to 2pm which was just inconvenient...admittedely it made sure u were out of bed early and u could actually get a lot I sight seeing in. The bar is great, and the staff know what beers to recommend to you. Breakfast was also good, simple but enough. Free wifi was decent, but if u don't have a laptop u need to pay.

I had a good stay, considering that it was for only a night.. The breakfast could have been way better (the bread was close to pieces of cardboard). The best thing was its location, very close to the metro station Botanique and also very good accessibility to the city center and other locations.

Wifi didnt always work, but not their fault, would have been nice to have soap in the toilets, annoying to have to walk across the road for the main site. Overall enjoyed my stay though, seemed like a safe area, lots of cheap Turkish Pizza shops nearby, friendly staff, cool bar with nice Belgian beers.

The van gogh ! Very accomodating ! Friendly staff, open 24/7 and close to all amenities. Would definately reccomend to anyone visiting, watch out for the cute after hours reception guy too :-p - kaye levi kaye

The hostel wasn't far from the centre by the metro and it was easy to get home at night. The room wasn't anything special but it was very clean. The staff was very nice and breakfast was good. The only thing I found annoying is that for the lockout you have to take your sheets off the bed and lock them up in lockers downstairs with the rest of your stuff. A lot of the lockers were broken.

Wide range of people in dorms and all over the site make lovely atmosphere. Very European and friendly hospitality and tastes youth culture tourism around.

Well, bed linen and room in general were dirty. It had a heater but it was turned off when we first entered (at night) and it was cold. Not the worst, but definitely it wouldn't be my first option.

Not a bad hostel, was only there for the one night so can't really say too much! The hostel is in two section, the main section on the right hand side of the road and rooms 100 onwards on the other side of the road. Close to the tram and metro in Brussels, they organise trips to the other cities in Belguim, the breakfast was ok, needed more ham and cheese I think! Nice bar with a range of beers and liquors Would stay there again :)

The beds were just extremely uncomfortable, couldn't sleep. Cold rooms and shower. Ok for 2 days but don't think that i would stay there again, not really in a centre. Breakfast poor as well, only the dark chocolate pasta was just awesome :)

A great reception area and bar. Also a great breakfast unfortunately that was all that was positive. We have stayed in hostels all over Europe and this was the worst one. Showers were like a dribble so we could not take a shower, rooms looked like cells and in a bit of a dodgy area. I would not stay here again.
