Our room was for four people with a private bathroom. It was recently renovated and everything was clean. The reception staff were always attentive and incredibly friendly. You can have breakfast at the bar next door for a good price if you let them know in advance. The location is excellent, in an area with bars and nightlife, and just a few blocks from the city center. I highly recommend it.

We stayed for 2 nights. The location is very quiet and close to the city center. The service was impeccable. They even helped us a lot with getting a taxi to the airport. Everything was clean and the rooms were nice and quiet. Thank you so much! We'll be back!

I'm very happy to have stayed here, and I'd book this hostel again for my next visit to Brussels. It is situated in a lively neighborhood, with a lot of options for food and drinks within 10 minutes of walking from here. Having said so, the soundproofing in the building keeps the indoors pretty calm and peaceful. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my requests. The beds were always clean and the air conditioning was such a relief during the heat wave this summer! The people I shared a room with, were friendly and mindful of each other throughout the stay. I was also very pleased with the options to leave my luggage for a few hours before checking in and after checking out. Thank you for the amazing hospitality!

A fantastic and affordable option for visiting Brussels from the city center. It offers family rooms with two beds and two bunk beds, is very clean, and has a restaurant and friendly, qualified staff.
