ベッドが備え付けでしっかりしていました！カーテンもコンセントも電気も付いていたのでよかったです。バスルームは全部一緒のタイプの部屋でしたが、ドライヤーもついていました。全体的に古い感じはしますが、コスパはいいかと思います。朝食もホステルの割にはしっかりしてました。周辺の治安は悪そうだったので、夜遅く出歩く方にはおすすめ出来ませんが。

All we needed located in a nice area

The hotel was in a nice location. We enjoyed the “back streets” it was located in, it was quite a hipsterish area. We had food and beers in a few bars and it was very pleasant and quiet. The hotel itself felt a little dated but had all the necessary amenities and plenty of space in the room and it was clean. My only concern about the hotel was that our bedroom door didn’t lock too well. The breakfast was also nice with plenty of options.

Could be better.

First of all the room I booked was a female only dorm which was wasnt lksted on the website upon booking. They were able to put me in a male dorm. THe room looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The place wasn’t run down and looked like it might have Brennan nice several years ago. The bathroom was dirty. The buffet breakfast was quoted lovely.

ブリュッセル南駅に近くて便利

グランプラスから小便小僧を経て、ほぼ一本道が分かりやすいロケーションのホステル。日本からクレジット払いで予約を入れたのに、宿で宿泊料金をまるまる請求され、「もう引き落とされてますけど。。。」と言ったら、いろいろ調べて対処してくれたフロントの対応は、客を信用しているようでよかった。あてがわれた部屋は別棟で、カーテンのない病院のようなベッド（２段）は写真のイメージと違うなぁと感じたものの、部屋にあるシャワー・トイレは広く使いやすく特に不満はない。スマートフォンを持っていないので電波の具合は分らないが、同室の西洋人女性はスマートフォンをずっと使っていた。翌朝は7時から始まる種類豊富な朝食をゆっくり食べて、始発列車の多い南駅を出る7時45分の列車に間に合った。チェックアウトはフロントの箱にキーを放り込むだけのセルフタイプで、時間に余裕がない人には嬉しい。

overall nice stay

Overall nice, wifi works well in the room, good varieties for breakfast. but only one bathroom with toilet in a room shared by 8 people. So depends on your luck you may have to wait for a while sometimes. Surrounding neighborhood may look a bit dodgy.

Bedbugs, poor condition, no light, not recommended

Its location is not bad but its condition is very poor, and they have bedbugs which is totally unacceptable. After 5 days of leaving I'm still itching and scratching myself to bleeding... receptionists are nice, breakfast is okay (it is not kept warm though) but overall very disappointing and I would not recommend it to anyone. :( Ohh and light didn't work in the room, only a poor night lamp, no natural light, opposite building was 3m away so we had to close the curtain for privacy.

いい感じ

Bruxelles Midi駅から歩いて10分ほど、石畳は大変だが、着くと中がかわいいし快適。部屋自体が二階建てで、下に階段を降りるとシャワー、トイレ、洗面台がある。カーテンでバッチリベッドが囲まれ、それぞれのベッドにスタンドライトがあり、快適。グランプラス?までも歩いていけ、近くにちーーーさいスーパーもあり、良かった◎

ぎりぎり許容範囲ですが…

midi駅から歩いて約10分、途中の道のりは雰囲気的にやや不安だったので速足でホステルまで向かいました。女子専用ドミトリーで、客室は広く、ヒーティング十分、ロッカー鍵付き、ベッドも頑丈で揺れずシーツも清潔で良い。最悪なのは天井一面にカビが生えたバスルーム。２泊しましたが、すごく嫌だったのでシャワーを浴びないという選択をしました。また、他のゲストに対する思いやりとか夜に静かにするよう伝える張り紙等はありません（この点は重要だと思います）案の定、夜の１２時にスタッフのミスで男性ゲストがスタッフと共に部屋に入って来るなり、その際に電気を平気で付けるなり、スタッフがチェックイン時の説明を部屋でし始めるとか、８人部屋なので朝と晩に騒がしいとか…その際に宿泊するゲスト次第で快適度は変わってくると思います。

Good and Bad

Booked two nights in a dorm - first night was placed in a single room instead, but it did not look like anything that was posted online. I had an early morning flight after the second night and was planning on walking to the train station nearby to get to the airport, but the area made me uncomfortable and I didn’t want to walk alone at that hour so I didn’t end up staying the second night. I did see the room that I had originally booked as I was supposed to stay there the second night, and it was just as expected! Staff was friendly as well.
