“ the only shortage of it is the location: too far away from the city center. And not easy to get there without the shuttle it provides. ”

“ Need to clean the restrooms more often, they were really smelly. No a good idea to have the showers across the lounge/bar The breakfast was excellent for the price we paid ”

“ I stayed in the private room with the twin beds and it was okay, a little small though. Kinda wish the hostel had an elevator. ”

“ If you're the first you'd better take a bus! It's not hard to find the hostel! Once you know the location, it's nothing! And breakfast is good! Everything is good! :D ”

“ It was a pretty nice place. It was really sparse in the room, but we did manage to get a private one (my three friends and I) and for less than 21 euro a night, I suppose you can't really complain about that much. The location was somewhat ideal, although I thought it would be a bit closer to the city center than it actually was. ”

“ Good location, near Nord train station, subway and not very far from the center. Staff is OK, but some more than others. Rooms are OK, but could be a bit better, specially toilets and showers. Great kitchen. Good breakfast! Has a bar downstairs that can be good if you want to go for a bear and some music but not ideal to meet other people. ”

“ This was a great hostel, I would recommend it to anyone staying in Brussels. The ambiance was great, staffs were friendly and the place was clean. I met some awesome people staying here. My only concern was the location; it was slightly difficult to find, even the taxi driver didn't know where it was. Overall, the location was near central Brussels and easily accessible via public transportation. Computer usage is not free but wifi was provided. ”

“ Large soulless hostel for groups geared towards groups. Cheap place to bunk down for the night if needed. Good location and Brussels is great but this city deserves a smaller, friendlier hostel. ”

“ This hostel is just average, not the worst but can find better. Location is good, breakfast is definitely not. ”

“ A nice enough place, but both the beds and the door were creaking. Quite annoying if you'd like to get some sleep. ”

“ I had to leave too early in the morning, so I didn\'t get any answer from the reception 24/7 even after 5 minutes of ringing and I also didn\'t enjoy the breakfast included. Otherwise the staying in a private was really nice. Probably if we came to late in the night and were supposed to wait for the only one key of the room left at the reception desk, I would get pretty much upset. ”

“ Generally, this hostel is good. But bathroom is too far for Room 1 to 5, and I didn't have good experience with the staff. The breakfast was soso. ”

“ near by a metro station, the hostel has a good location. just be careful walking around at night. the hostel facilities are divided into two buildings. the bedroom and bathroom at the first building are ok, but this building has no reception, no lift and no lockers in the rooms. there are few lockers at the reception.. the breakfast was ok too! good value for money but could at least have some lockers in the rooms... ”
