Summary of traveller reviews

Antwerp City Hostel boasts an unbeatable central location, perfect for exploring the city. While many appreciate the friendly staff and included breakfast, recent guests note persistent issues with cleanliness, particularly in bathrooms and rooms, and significant noise from nearby clubs and street activity, especially on weekends. The beds are also frequently mentioned as uncomfortable.

This hostel isn’t the greatest. If you are a female I would highly recommend staying in the female dorms. I wouldn’t feel safe in the mixed here. The location is extremely convenient. If you are staying here to party/go to a festival it’s not bad. But if you are not partying/wanting somewhere to chill I would absolutely not stay here. It’s good if you’re trying to find somewhere to go sleep at 5am lol.
