Property is in a prime area close to Grand Place and Brussels Central train station. Easy to get to tons of dining and shopping within walking distance. The bathrooms and showers were a bit tight for being over 6’ or 6’2”. Had to check in at another location which was a 15 minute walk away from actual location.

Great location, great staff. Old bedsheets with stains and holes. I could probably have gotten new ones, but I was too tired to complain when i finally got to the place. Besides that it was good.

It was a wonderful stay, with CLEAN facilities, and convenient location as it’s close to transportation and practically everything in the city centre. Good wifi provided and great staff attitude. I also enjoyed my short conversations with Vincent… it makes a difference for a guest who’s totally new to the city!

Super well situated. Unfortunatly there is a 15 min walk to the réception which is is another hostel. Clean and convenient but a bit expensive for an hostel.

It was a very convenient location. Although the picking up the keys in a different address is a terrible idea and super inconvenient especially for travelers carrying luggage. Why not have the lock box where people stay? Makes no sense. Also, female dorm room was way too tiny for 6 people. Some beds are way too close to the ceiling. My roommate hit her head 3 times on the wooden beam and close to the AC vent not cool.

Great hostel to stay at Brussels in my opinion.
The area of the rooms where the beds are located are spacious and clean, the beds are comfortable, the shower water gets sufficiently hot so you will not feel cold, they have double sinks in shared rooms. And the common space is very well decorated. The reception staff is simply amazing and super nice. Thank you and see you next time!

This hostel is a pearl on a way of travelers on budget. I see just one problem that once happen to me, and I see that other oeople are having the same problem: receptionist is not showing up in the morning on time. Travellers keft without driexcess to drjnking water, tea, their food stored in refrigerator.

The hostel was very clean. The bed was comfy and it was generally quiet. But the room had a strange, foul smell when I checked in (I was the first to check in), there was some hair around the toilet and the towel didn’t seem clean. Also, it was quite disconcerting to walk for 13 mins to pick up the keycard. I didn’t enjoy it.

Wonderful Hostel
The stay was amazing and the room were spacious, tidy and new. The only problem was to collect the key card from 1.5 km away from another location. Rest its a perfect place very near to central station and other city centre attractions. The towel was also free here, thats a plus. It was my first experience to stay at a hostel and I was very happy at the end not to choose a hotel.

My biggest complaint is that there was never any hot water in the shower (for anyone in my room). It would be helpful to have staff at both locations as I left my key in my room one day and I know it happened to someone else, but understand it may not be feasible. It’s an amazing location right in the middle of Brussels, but recognize with that also comes the noise of bars and locations right outside the window being open late. Most of us were able to sleep right through it.

This property in the heart of the city. Make sure this two locations. The second one, that is next to the Royal square doesn't have a reception. Read carefully the address for location where the check in available. They're giving a bed right away when it's available. No need to wait until 3pm. Very clean. Bathrooms and toilet newly renovated. Very clean. Kitchns have everything you need to prepare food. Common area has very interesting design. For me this place

It's more about what I don't like. Morning. 8:30am. I should be able to get into the common area to fill bottle with water, charge my phone, and make a cup of tea, leaving my backpack for a while. But common area closed, nobody here, sandwiches in the refrigerator cannot be retrieved. Nonsense

Excellent property with amateur management
This hostel is in excellent condition. Clearly it's got a huge potantial especially as per its fantastic location. However, the so called "reception" is not a 10 minute walk. I would rather say 20 minutes. Although the hostel does warn you about that on an email, you get so many emails after booking and the addresses become confusing. Matter of fact, I ended up at the hostel first, thinking it was the "reception". There is a map at the hostel showing the location of the reception but you need to be a good map reader. There and back a 40 minute walk dragging your luggage. Another thing that put me off was that there was no personel available at the hostel in the night time. There was no means to reach the reception either. My key didn't work and that I got stuck. Luckly, a guest let me use his phone to contact the "reception". The reception's response was annoying. When the woman on the phone relaying what I said to her to another person at the "reception", she went like "he says his key won't work bla bla bla". So your customer is in need and his needs are just bla bla bla for you right? After a long deliberation, I was to told to come over to the "reception". Because, they could not send anyone from the "reception". Cut the long story short, it is a great hostel but needs to provide a personel at the actual place to help customers rather then being ignorant to their needs.

Check in is at the other location a good 10-15 minute walk away if you dont get lost. The hostel is located in a small alleyway full of cat callers and druggies. I made sure to keep my passport, camera, money, etc with me both days I was there and I am so glad I did. Even with a lock on the lockers, they are super easy to get into. Lost a couple shirts and my toiletries. Whoever takes shampoo, like really? Customer service/reception is non existent at t his location, and did not have time to go to the other location in order to talk to someone. Would not recommend.

The location is great. But it’s not that easy to arrive. When you think that you reached the hotel , they told you , ohh you didn’t reserve in this place, so they give you the new location and here comes the sufferings if you have more than one luggage. Walking 1km on a stone path to reach the hostel.

Most of staff could use some friendliness. They need to improve on being friendly and warm to travellers. Overall the hostel is pretty well kept. The housekeepers are rude as well. They would start cleaning ymthe room despite of your presence.

The place was ok. The rooms were quite cosy, but there seem to be no one from the staff present most of the time, and I never got a reply for my email inquiry. Comon area downstairs was dusty and matresses are old... Good thing was that they write your name on the bed.

When checking in you have to report to another property and when you leave that property you aren't given directions to the property you are staying in (I was told to walk to the Coke sign and take a left!). Also the common areas are not left open to travelers so they can mingle and get to know one another, the property manager rudely ran us out one night saying, "The lounge is closed, get out!"

This was my first of many hostels I stayed at in Europe and this was the best. Super clean, great decor, nice full size lockers and centrally located. I highly recommend this hostel. One thing to pay attention to is the check desk is off site and not at hostel location.

Loved the location: half a block from Grand Place Awesome staff: Jessica was wonderful! Could improve: having to check in at another location. May not be a problem if you are travelling light, but not easy if you have a heavy bag. In short: recommended.
