“ Nice hostel, nice situation. Just annoying to go and check away. The hostel is still under construction but it is not a problem at all. It is clean and confortable. It is nice to have a kitchen ”

“ Be advised that the check-in and baggage storage is located MANY blocks away from where you actually stay, at another hostel that owns this one. The accomodations themselves are so-so. The sleeping area was clean but cramped. The commons area lacked comfortable chairs and good light for reading. The location, however, was superb: literally right around the corner from the Grand Place. That was the only upside, though. ”

“ The check-in is like a joke. Is not in the same hostel(10 min walk) and it's impossible to make it during the morning! I had to change my afternoon plans because this reason... More bad points: At 11:00 o'clock in the morning there wasn't hot water in the shower.. Quite disapointed about that... The room was good and clean, also the location and the price were good. ”

“ Worst Hostel I've ever been in my entire life. We ran out of light. Do not we like brushing teeth, bathing, taking coffee, we claim due to lack of energy and the only thing the receptionist told us that it was not her fault. Not even returned in 50% of the value ultimately paid for all services and I did not have hardly anything.. Poor the worst Hostel, never point out a friend. NEVER ”

“ It's the best hostel we've stayed in. We really loved it. There's nothing much to say, everything was perfect. Cleanliness is one of the minimum expected things from a hostel, this one has it all. It might not be the prettiest yet, but i'm sure it will be great once they finish all the updates there. ”

“ This was the most unprofessionally managed hostel we stayed at during our trip. The check-in is 1 kilometer away from the actual hostel, we were unable to check-in until 4pm, with no staff available during the afternoon until that time. The downstairs/foyer was dirty and cramped. The room itself was decently clean and the air conditioning worked, but thats the only positives I can comment on. ”

“ I would recommend that they didn't have the hostel running while they were still remodeling it... it's pretty annoying to have all the construction in the ground floor. ”

“ It should be great when it's finished! I just wish I could have left my bag there during the day and not had to walk to the other hostel to do it. ”

“ Even with the construction, this hostel ROCKS. The location can't be beat. I can't wait to go back and see the finished product. Everything was clean, very large lockers, modern bathrooms... Only complaint is no TV and the internet shut off for a little while, but I imagine they'll fix that when they finish construction. LOVE THIS HOSTEL. ”

“ The best hostel I've ever stayed in, even with the construction. Like other people have mentioned, it's a pain that the reception and the hostel are in different places, but it's worth it to stay in the hostel. Spacious rooms, clean beds, and the bathrooms are excellent. Highly recommended. Also, the location of the hostel is right by Grand Place and can't be beat. ”

“ First of all, this hostel's location is absolutely incredible! Located on a side street right off the Grand-Place, you really can't find any better! BUT, that's about all it has going for it. The check in has to be done in another hostel 15 minutes away, there is no staff present in the hostel, the hostel is still under construction, so the rooms and bathrooms were the only things finished, and the "free wifi" wasn't working most of the time. ”

“ Location was right next to the grand place, what was really good. There was no breakfast besides coffee and tea. The rooms are very very small especially the bathrooms- so if you have more than 150kg you probably won't fit in! Another negative point was, in particular you have no mobile device for internet access, you have to do a 10 min-walk to get to the front desk, where they have computers with IA and you can store your luggage upthere. ”

“ Got lost for over 2 hours trying to find the check in location, so having to go there first really sucked, but once we got to the hostel it was great! The location is amazing and the facility is very clean and comfortable. ”
