Reviews of The82 Hostel Louise

There’s nothing to like, the entire property is dirty.

No proper washroom for both girls and boys. Bed isn’t clean, looks very shady. Highly recommend not to book the hostel

La ducha

Staff was friendly, unfortunately this was the only thing i like.

1. Staff really struggle to speak "English" 2. Room and Hostel door should have a key, which wasn't the case which means anybody can enter any room, sometimes hostel door was closed but honestly if someone press the bell they will open it for sure without looking who has done, so a big question mark if this hostel is secure or not. No disrespect to people because they were nice but somehow incompitent. 3. Mattress of the bed was not comfortable at all and beds itself are also not strong enough so if you got the lower bed, you will always be afraid that person on the above bed might fell over you at anytime because the base of beds looks and sounds really weak. 4. Shower rooms were not clean at all, and no hot water there is only one button from where only cold water is coming, i don't know how it is in winter though. 5. I didn't find anybody interesting in my room to do a conversations, looks like everybody was a local living for many days in Brussels while looking for a jobs and stuff. 6 and so on: I can still say many things but i think this is enough

It had access to a train station by a 10-15 minute walk

The toilets were a mess! No papers or hand soap :( ( although they provide me the paper when I asked) The two toilets on my floor didn’t work, I had to ho upstairs. Very narrow aisle, they didn’t assign a bed, just tell me to go in the room and choose an empty bed. The cleanness of the bed can be questionable without assigning imo. Very uncomfortable experience, but I can use it for storytelling :)

Nothing

Everything is bad, smelly Hostel

Good location in Bruxelles, neighbourhood is fine (there's worse in Bruxelles), there's a carrefour express nearby for groceries and all the main public transportation lines are nearby. The kitchen was fine, it was missing some stuff but we only needed a pot and colander. Some basic necessities were gently provided by the stay such as salt and dish soap. The women bathroom was clean enough to shower which was nice and not to be taken for granted in an hostel, something we can't say for the mixed bathrooms.

The place was FILTHY up to the brim. Our lineage wasn't changed when we arrived and we had to ask for new one. There was also a stain of god knows what on the pillow but it was covered by the pillow casing. One of the pillows was actually a sofa pillow and was too small for the casing. The worst part is that during the last night it RAINED INSIDE. We were staying in the twin bed room which is right below the roof and once it started raining water POURED in our room like a waterfall. The floor was completely wet and our bags got soaked too. We had to move the bed from the wall but it wasn't enough, the water was EVERYWHERE. During this fun inconvenience we discovered a hair ball under our bed. This is TOTALLY a fire hazard, as water poured nearby electrical outlets. The room was also missing a lightbulb and the outlet prongs were exposed. On the second day of our stay we were pleased to find an empty toilet paper entrenched with someone's waste in the bathroom near our room.

Price

I didn’t like that the view from the window was literally someone’s men’s underwear hanging outside. The room had nothing but a bed, a broken TV, and some random pouffe—there wasn’t even a hanger or a shelf for clothes. The shower and toilet didn’t lock, there was no hot water in the shower, and there wasn’t even any soap in the toilet. There was a dead cockroach on the bed linen, and the room had a strange smell. There wasn’t even a room number on the door; they could’ve at least drawn one with a marker.

I had no money and urgently needed a place to stay. I thought it would be enough for the place to have 4 walls and a bed. The score of the hostel was already too low, and when I had no expectations, it didn't look too bad for a moment. The location wasn't bad at all. The price was okey.

It wouldn't be my first choice, or the third! Yes, it had 4 walls, but there was an extra door in the room, which didn’t make sense at first. Then I realized it was opening to another room, room in a room! How weird is that! Toilets were not in the rooms and were not so clean, beds were not very comfy. The hotel was smelly! It goes on like this…
