    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. And since drinking is all there is to do in the miserable fake town of Bruges, it's a great match. Good breakfast. Nice wide rooms with big windows, comfy beds, and cool decor. Showers are... more

    I booked a 4 bed ensuite room and the room had a shower but not the loo, which was outside. Therefore not ensuite... The location was excellent and breakfast was good. I would suggest soap and towels or dryers in toilets please!

    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.

Kitchen was messy and dirty. Stairs are particularly dangerous if you're carrying too much luggage. Anyways, good...

    We didnt have a clean pillowcase and the 14 bed dorms were too squishy, i think maybe they are better off just taking out even 2 beds so you dont have to sleep next to peoples feet. But its the best value for money with cheap beds and a good kitchen... the staff were friendly and the free maps...
