About

Our building is a former brick factory which is part of the cultural heritage of Flanders, the building is completely heated in winter so you'll be able to camp all year round.
There's a bar on site where you can have a drink while meeting locals or watching a free concert, playing a game. We have a communal room where you can play table tennis, ping pong, read a book, have a chat, relax. We have a big outside space where you can sit in the sun or play jeu de boules. You can prepare a lovely meal in our kitchen.

Treck Hostel is situated at 1 mile from the historic center of Ghent and it's within easy reach by public transportation. Therefore we advise not to come by car. When you make a reservation, you can hire a bike to explore the city. Treck Hostel is also a perfect base to explore the other cultural cities of Belgium: Bruges, Antwerp and Brussels are within easy reach by train.

We offer different kind of Caravan:
- Zen: Feel completely zen in this caravan. You're being welcomed at the door by Ganesh, protector of the traveler.
- Biky: This caravan is dedicated to cycling!
- Hawaii: In our Hawaii caravan, you feel like you're in some warm country. The hammock is waiting for you to jump in and relax after a long day of exploring the city.
- Retro: We had a lot of work on this one - to paper a caravan is not easy - Finally we succeeded in giving a retro touch to this caravan, enjoy it!
- Up: This former coffee bar/ caravan was placed upside down. The door became a window and the roof got an entrance! This caravan is perfect for 3 friends who like to have a bed of their own.
- Jungle: This caravan is hidden between plants and greenery, you can find tigers and monkeys between the trees. Here you'll find an experience closest to the outdoor-camp-life, but you can forget about the cold, rain and strange noises.Camp int he city with all the luxury of a hotel.
- Beach: Flippers, swimming goggles, racket and 2 comfy beach chairs are part of your terrace. Can you feel summer yet?
- Betty: Betty Boop is on the lookout! Be aware of the peeping tom in the back! When you see the interior of this caravan, you'll see why the designers choose this theme.
- Mini: Our smallest & cutest caravan. We don't really know if it's a two person or a one person bed...We do know that there's a lot of authenticity in this one; the curtains, the lights, the bench,.. they are all like they were years before.
This one is perfect for couples who like to cuddle all night long or travelers who like to have the bed/ caravan for their own.
- Bird's nest: This caravan is located on a platform, overlooking the Hostel

Summary of traveller reviews

Treck Hostel in Ghent offers a unique and creative atmosphere with friendly, helpful staff. Guests praise the delicious breakfast and the cool concept, including camper vans and unique decor. While some mention beds can be uncomfortable and it's a bit of a walk to the centre, the overall vibe is highly recommended for a relaxed stay.

Unclean. Mold in bathroom. Sheets smelled like vinegar and cheese. Much WORSE experience than a hostel I went to in Guatemala; and this is Europe. My new rule is STAY AWAY FROM HIPPY HOSTELS. Staff are clueless and unhelpful. Bad business succeeding off of cheap price not principle. There is a much much better hostel in the middle of Ghent!!
