    Unfortunately there is no proper kitchen where you can cook.

    Incredible well placed hostel, very central you can walk to many majors touristic spots or catch plublic transport. All member of the staff are very friendly and lovely!! Breakfast was nice for a hostel and there was a bit of choice.

    This hostel perfectly suited my needs for a central place to crash for an affordable price. I'd absolutely tell other backpackers about it, and recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in this incredible city.

    The light at the entrance needs to be on so people can find it. The building next door is being renovated, so that can be misleading. City tax has to be paid by card.

    Perfect for 1 or 2 nights. It was clean when I got there. Enough space in the bathroom. Not easy to find, but very close to Grand Place, restaurants and public transport.

    Good location and comfort, but lack of privacy, noise, and extra charges made the stay less good.

    I was quite disappointed with a few things during my stay. The curtain on the bed was too short, leaving gaps, and my bed was not completely against the wall, which created space for people to see me. Since my bed was right at the entrance and near the bathroom where everyone passed by, I didn’t feel comfortable at all. On top of that, there was a lot of noise during the night, with people talking loudly and not showing respect for those who were trying to sleep. Another big downside was the luggage policy — if you arrive earlier or want to check out before your bus/flight, you have to pay €3 per bag to store them. Honestly, I found that unreasonable.

    The location is excellent, close to everything I needed and very convenient for exploring the city. I also appreciated having a bathroom in the room — it made the stay much more comfortable. Overall, the hostel was cozy and comfortable.

    It's super noisy at night and no air-conditioning in the rooms. If we open the windows it's super loud outside.

    The location is amazing and you get what you are paying for. There are curtains providing more privacy.

    Great Location, Clean Facilities, and One Standout Staff Member

    The hostel is not the most modern or spacious. The elevator and common areas are small, and the breakfast room has limited amenities—no sink or tap to refill water bottles.

    I’ve stayed twice at SafeStay Brussels and overall it’s a solid choice. The hostel is well-kept, secure, and in a fantastic central location—walking distance to attractions, shops, restaurants, and public transport. Staff member Jenny stood out for her kindness and professionalism. When a male guest mistakenly booked an all-female dorm, she went out of her way to find a solution instead of just turning him away. The dorms have privacy curtains, plenty of showers and bathrooms (two each in the 8-bed dorm), and free luggage storage for guests (€3 for non-guests). Overall: For a budget stay, it’s clean, comfortable, and safe, with a standout location and one exceptional staff member who made my experience memorable.

    No common room to hang out. Guests have to pay a 3€ fee to store bags before/ after checkout.

    Excellent location. Yes, it’s loud but that’s the price you pay for being in the center of it all.

    It was very loud with the windows open and I didn't get good sleep. The breakfast could be better with boiled eggs and some salad or fresh fruit and vegetables. The bed could have a platform to put phone, wallet, accessories and a place to hang towels. To charge phone, etc.

    The bed and facilities were good and clean.

    Overall stay was okay, however toilet in my multiple-bed room was quite dirty and something bit my legs and hands at night and i'm still scratching. I suggest to make a disinfection in the rooms.

    It is located right in the heart of Brussels Old Town

    I had a bed in a shared dorm, the rest of the girls had a privacy curtain but I didn’t, so I woke up every time someone turned the light on. The last night of my stay a male was put into our room, even though we booked female only, the member of staff sorted this and removed him but it was upsetting that he was put in the room in the first place.

    The location is central and easy to access places. Like the room key on phone.

    The place has the basic necessities, but the establishment is rather old and there aren’t any social places or common areas except for the breakfast room. So don’t expect a social hostel. It’s more like a place to sleep and move on the next day. Which is exactly what I did. I decided. I wanted to stay another day in Brussels, but I changed my place the next day.

    The location is very central and you are close to anything that you need within walking distance. You have a nice view of the old town from the window at least I had from another room that I was staying at .
