    The dorm was too small for the number of beds, in my opinion. Only small lockers available and not in the dorm.

    Friendly staff. Great location. Good breakfast (9 euros).

    I had to share with some men and they were a little noisy at night, but again this could have been because I was unwell and a little sensitive.

    Location was great, room was comfortable and bed good. I was a little unwell, so my discomfort was related to me not feeling well more than the room.

    There was no bedside light, only a central light and light near the wash basin which meant that any time someone came in at night they had to turn on the main light. It also made it difficult to go to the loo in the middle of the night without disturbing everyone.

    The hostel is conveniently located within walking distance from the train station. The facilities were clean and the staff were friendly. The bed was comfy.

    During our stay it was in the middle of a heatwave. Could have used a fan in the room but it wasn’t that uncomfortable or noisy with the windows open. Couple of clothes hangers would have been a nice touch too.

    The location was great. Great outdoor terrace and lounge area for use. Short walk from the station. Friendly staff. Plenty of toilets and showers and all spotless.

    A few things in the room could be better, for example, with individual power outlets for each bed. Also, some parts could be cleaner.

    The staff was very nice and polite, and the location is excellent. Common facilities were quite good.

    Sleeping with five others in a dormitory is obviously not what i am used to anymore at the age of 55, but i managed.

    The price was low and the breakfast was varied and delicious.

    The basement floor badroom isn't well equipped; the shared room is noisy; the price is a bit high compared to brussel's hostels

    The staff is friendly; there are several convenient places around (colruyt, the train station, printing shops); the kitchen is well equipped; the showers are ok; there are free locker - no need to give a deposit

    There were enough power outlets but if you’re using the bunk beds and you’re on the top bunk, unless you have an extension cord you won’t be able to charge your gadgets.

    The location is perfect, you’re right in the middle of the city centre and fairly close by the station.

    The main issue is the noise from other guests. I slept OK until 4am but then drunk guests started to come back making a lot of noise. I got very little sleep after this time. I was in room 3.5 and there are 2 toilets located next to it and the slamming of these doors added to the noise.

    Location was excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Common living room/kitchen and courtyard area were nice.

    Nothing.

    The Hostel is in the heart of the city, cca 10 from train station by walk. We've order rooms with 2 separated beds, which were quite comportable. The toilets and showers are shared, but they are enough to feel like in private one, just suited next to your room. :) The personel is nice and helpful to arrange what we needed. Man can order the breakfast, which is nice and tasty. Or you can man can use the shared kitchen area for meal preparation.
