We stayed in the hostel for 4 nights. Everything was as described. The room was fine for two people. There was a small foldable desk, a chair, and a private bathroom. They gave us towels and sheets for the bed. We had breakfast included, which was buffet style and had many options, including fruit, cereals, toast, juice and coffee. There is also a bar with cheap beer. The staff is really nice and they are willing to help anytime.Special thanks to Gabriel from the reception and Valeria from the kitchen for being extra kind and helping us. We totally recommend this hostel.

It is located in a neighborhood where you need to take extra care and try to get back in daylight.

Breakfast is nice, good choice, but no vegetables. Spacious big room, clean and well equipped with big lockers. Very good and stylish common area.

Unfortunately, the lockers are extra paid, you need to buy it from vending machine for 5 Euros, or have your own. Towels are extra charge, there was no information about it while booking.

good breakfast included in the price. the staff was super nice and the whole hostel was pretty clean and tidy.

its a little bit far from the city center and the tourist attractions and maybe the neighborhood is not the best for a woman traveling alone

The hostel is okay, the common area has a pool table and a bunch of games you can play (you must leave a deposit to use it - it will be returned after) The kitchen is clean and it has all the utensils and equipment you need for basic cooking. The cleaning staff, will clean your bathroom everyday but you don’t have the option to ask for not cleaning, they will come in even if you’re in the room.

If you don’t bring your own towel, you will have to buy them in the reception (2€) The rooms for 4 people are very small. The receptionist didn’t have the best attitude. During our stay, the plugs stopped working for like 7 hours and then the power in them came back.

Reasonably good location - around 1.5km from city centre on foot. Spacious enough rooms with 4 beds and private bathroom. Lockers in the room. Good buffet style breakfast. Everything was nice and clean. Wifi worked well. Staff is friendly and helpful although I didn't really get shown around on arrival and had to ask about where everything was etc. Not that big of a deal tho.

I think towels included in the price should be standard but that might be just me. Beds aren't the most comfortable and provided linen is a bit weird, you can't really wrap the blanket in it, it's just a piece of fabric so it's not very hygienic since you end up under a bare blanket. Also you need your own lock for the lockers. Breakfast could have more vegan options and at least some veggies.

Was easy to get to by metro. I had access to all the facilities I needed for my short one-night stay. Breakfast was excellent and I was surprised at the organic and more sustainable options offered to guests. Would recommend as an affordable hostel option for travelers.

That the bed wasn't made already although this is a minor point. I reached late in the night and would have preferred to have one already made for me as I was tired but I understand that this is the nature of staying in an affordable hostel!

The hostel building has a beautiful architecture. The garden and its surroundings are very peaceful and green. Breakfast was varied and sufficient. However, some varieties run out quickly, so I recommend going for breakfast early. Room facilities were sufficient. Having the shower, toilet and sink separate from each other in the room is very useful for different people to use at the same time.The hostel's social area is very useful and provides many opportunities. I was impressed that there was even a guitar to play on. The employees are very helpful and friendly. At the entrance there is a fountain with potable water. I was very happy that they helped you pour water without any hesitation. Price performance is great!

The beds are not very comfortable. Mattress thickness may be greater. Unfortunately, there are no accessories to put the suitcase. Those traveling with luggage may have difficulty. We don't understand why towels cost extra. There is no TV in the room. It would be nice if there was a small TV. The area where the hotel is located is a middle-class area, but there is garbage on the streets and returning from the hotel at night can be a bit scary. Apart from an argument between neighbors, we did not experience any trouble on the street.

Great place to stay in Brussels if you are travelling alone or solo. There is female dormitories with 4 bunk beds. It was clean. Rooms are big with great view of grand place and well ventilation because of big windows. Breakfast was simple (fruits, 6 types of cereals, greek yogurt, salami, cheese etc) I cant ask better for this budget. Even though its in downtown it was safe and very calm. Theres a lot restaurant nearby (specially for rhe people who is looking for halal there are options near by in 200m to 1km). breakfast in the garden was best , it so quiet and peaceful in the morning. theres enough activity like indoor pool , outdoor table tennis, garden space. Spent one night in dorm definitely will go again.

Towels could be available in the room and key for locker could be provided but its not a issue as a solo traveller you always have a small lock and key which you can use in your locker.

The room itself was great, very spacious with big and nice bathroom directly in room. I even liked the terrace behind the hostel full of budgerigars and cats, where you can drink and enjoy a good Belgium beer.

The location of the hostel itself was fine, but the journey from Midi station till the hostel I really do not recommend walking. Only during morning it was fine, around noon i was worried for my life and I would not have guts to go there in the afternoon. I hope the situation will get better soon.

During my stay at the hostel, I was very pleased with the spotless cleanliness of the facilities, from the rooms to the common areas. The dorms were quite comfortable, with well-equipped beds and clean linens. The location was extremely convenient, close to major attractions and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always ready to provide local tips and recommendations. The atmosphere of the hostel was vibrant and welcoming, ideal for meeting other travelers. Additionally, I felt safe throughout my stay, with good security measures in place, such as keycard access and lockers.

Lacks amenities and the free breakfast lacks variety.
