“ Snuffle was a great home base for my night in Brugge. I almost wished I'd skipped the film festival to hang in the bar and play board games! Security & location are great. The only downside is that the facility is older --- but they do a good job of keeping it clean! ”

“ Great hostel with character. The staff was cool and helpful. The 1 euro beer happy hour is awesome. Location is less than 5 min walk from Markt square which is the main square of Brugge. Nice beds. Free lockers that include locks. breakfast is sufficent but youll need a belgium waffle before lunch. ”

“ It was a nice hostel. The downstairs area is fun. Even though you have to walk through the bar to the showers, they are nicer/cleaner than a lot of the other hostels I've stayed in, and it's really not that big of a deal. I wish there was soap in the upstairs bathrooms. The rooms themselves are... ”

“ One of the best hostels I've been to. Great staff behind a great bar that sells the cheapest beer in town.

“ While it took over 30 minutes for someone to show up at the desk for check-in, we were very impressed with the overall cleanliness of the hostel once we got in. However, the bar set-up discouraged getting to know new people and you needed to walk outside in order to get to the showers. ”

“ The staff and facilities were great, with the exception that the showers are quite a distance from the rooms, and you have to go through the bar to get there, but given the age of the building this is understandable. Otherwise a very easy to recommend hostel. ”
