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 would be perfect if some things were improved. It’s in the historical center in a 16th century building, a very true experience if you think about it. However, bear in mind that as it is in the center, on the weekend it get pretty noisy so maybe bring yourself earplugs. Breakfast is nice, very basic but sufficient. Showers are clean, but common areas can be better. That is not just a hostel matter, but it’s good to live in a nice and not messy environment. Staff is very nice
