  • raruizm2994 from Colombia, has 16 reviewsraruizm2994 says:

    Location is quite good. There are no lookers to keep your big bagagge. Internet is too expensive. There is not a quiet chilling out room, just a big bar if you want party. The room key is shared between people at the same room so sometimes you have to knock the door and wait until someone open or... more

    Make sure to ask for a room far from the washroom, because it is very noisy at night.

    The showers are horrible, you have to press a button every 10 seconds to have water (almost on my floor), the floor smells to humidity and there was a sock under the bed! But great inside pub, location and breakfast!

    Staying in a shared room, there was only one key which had to be collected at the bar. The sheets on the bed didn't look the cleanest. Bar downstairs stays open till 4am.

    It would be better if there were lockers in the rooms or a more secure area for our bags to be stored. Also the door leading up to the rooms should be locked otherwise any one can just go up to the rooms. The web page was a little miss leading. It should state that breakfast is included when you... more

    Located above a bar in Brugges. The room had cigarette smoke wafting in from the bar the entire night. The sheets were an ugly purple and looked like they were 30 years old. The mattress had metal prongs sticking up and it left a nasty mark on my girlfriend's back. But the staff was friendly...

    This was a very good choice because the price was very affordable and the location is very near from the center. There is also a restaurant so just in case we needed anything, it was just downstairs. Our room was for 6 people, but it was good to meet other people too. Although one of the showers... more

    The staff was very accommodating. No lockers in the room, but there is a safe downstairs. It's best if you can trust all your roommates. The bar downstairs is lively and fun; good place to meet fellow travellers. Bathrooms were clean enough, but the shower door didn't close properly for mine, so...

    good staff. poor security policy. too many youth groups. otherwise one of your best bets if hostelling in brugges. why not try liege or brussels? less expensive overall, plus squatting is easy in those cities. why pay rent when you could squat?

    Good if you dont mind the music playing downstairs all night long. Extremely insecure, anybody from the bar can access the rooms. Staff not very helpful or nice. Very poor breakfast. Beds break easily, and have no sheets. Room no 5 is too small for 4 people. Beer is too expensive, and don't fall...

    I was in a clean room, number 17, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Do not be thrown off by the strange labyrinth of hallways. Sadly there is only one key per room, and an older man was put in ours at 1am. However, the staff immediately realized their mistake and moved him.

    Security was pretty bad, only one key per room and I'm pretty sure anyone could just walk into a dorm and do what they like. Also the dorm I was staying in did have an ensuite but there was no lock on it....caused some uncomfortable situations once or twice.

    I obtained the shared room key from a staff member that didn't know me without my room ticket or ID. The sink in the room would have been great if it drained properly. The shower was warm for about 30 seconds before turning ice cold. But hey, for 17.50 euro/night, it wasn't bad...

    The first recpetionist we had was not very friendly. It seemed like they were very preoccupied and did not focus on the customers as much as they should have. Made you feel a little unappreciated that you just spent your Euros to stay there.

    Very loud, we could hear the music until 4 a.m. Very bad isolation, we were listening to showers like they were in the same room with us. There was a huge window on the celling without curtains, maybe good if you want to get up at 5 a.m. Bring over some liquid soap for washing your hands!

    Really just some rooms above a pub. Small rooms, no lockers and no ladder for the top bunks. Can't adjust the temperature of the showers and the water lasts about 4 seconds after pressing the button. No common area except the bar downstairs, which caters for an older crowd. Location is really good.
