Really good hostel in Brussels. Location is very central and easy to walk to town. The metro and tram are close if you want to go further to. I stayed here for over a week and all of the personel were super nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and nice with privacy curtains. The bathrooms works but some of them could use an upgrade soon. But for the price and breakfast included aswell this is really good value for money. Free Wif, kitchen, laundry, luggage rooms, 2 euros for rent towels.

The free breakfast is awesome. The rooftop is very chill. The 8 Bed Mixed Dorm Ensuite is spacious with two individual bathrooms and two toilets. It's a perfect hostel for a short trip.

this hostel is advertised and called youth hostel but i think that’s far from the truth, at least more than half of the guests there were at least 35 - 40+, which is fine just a surprise due to the ‘youth hostel’ in the title. theres a free breakfast included tho so that’s good!
