    We are used to paying much less for accommodation in UK. We thought it was expensive for what it was. Breakfast not very interesting.

    really feels like a business not a hostel and they charge you for everything. 2euro for half an hour of the slowest wifi ever (i opend 4 pages in half an hour) but it is clean and spacious

    It's a great place to stay. But you can't leave anything between 1h00am and 4h00pm which kind of sucks. But other then that it is a great place to stay quiet and clean.

    This was like staying in an abandoned hospital/ high school. Avoid it if you can! Dead quiet, smells like sewage, staff are lifeless. 2 euros for 30 minutes of Wi-Fi! Ridiculous! Miles out of the centre, and in this small quiet town, that is NOT a good thing!

    Super clean. Good hot showers. Great breakfast... Beds were ok. Got kept up all night by snoring so loud you wouldn't have heard a harley cruising through the room... But that's hardly the hostels fault. Bad experience, but good hostel.

    There are lockers, albeit outside of your room. The showers and the location was fine. My only concern was that the advice the hostel gave to find the place was simply wrong (taking some bus and getting off at the third stop). The hostel is about a ten minute walk from the train station and is... more

    clean hostel, but 2 euros 30 minutes of internet, no towels, and a bar that closes at 11pm is not a good recipe for fun. reception closes from 10am to 1pm so you'll have to wait for a bit if you arrive during those hours.

    Would be useful if room windows could safely locked in the slightly open position for room ventilation - especially at night. At the moment it's either closed or open and unsafe. Otherwise excellent!

    This hostel is outside of the city center, but Bruges is so small that this isn't an issue (it's about a ten to fifteen minute walk to all of the sites). The clientele was remarkably older (one woman in my room was around 55 or so), but this may have been because I visited on the weekend, a time... more

    there is no bus after 8:00 pm, and it's not so far from the train station. so I advise you to remember the location and walk there. they charge an extra fee for non-membership. the dorm is big and well equiped, but there are few shared toilets, you have to wait. the breakfast is good.
