Basic youth hostel with a good breakfast. For value in Brussels it is very good, although it is a youth hostel in the traditional sense.

Rooms large and spacious. Fairly central location, although difficult to find at first. Huge range of ages and people staying there - as a solo traveller I didn't find it the 'friendliest' place though.

Very new and very good hostel. Actually, you can say that it is a hotel. The lobby and bar are very big and good. The room is big and nicely decorated. There is each curtain on each bed and there is a big locker for everyone. The staff are very nice and helpful. Highly recommend to stay this...

This was the best Youth Hostel I have ever stayed in, and I have been in 12 different ones in 5 different countries, which says a lot. It was superbly clean, safer than most multi-starred hotels, and exceedingly quiet. It is also a non-profit organization member of the original International...

Rooms were some of the nicest I've seen in a hostel, with a bathroom with a shower in the room, a table and a lofted area with the beds. Free maps and breakfast in the morning. A good mix of travelers from a lot of different countries coming through.

The hostel would've been quite difficult to find if I didn't have a map but it was very close to the metro which was convenient. We were only staying for one night so we didn't spend much time in the hostel but we enjoyed our stay nevertheless.

This is what a hostel is supposed to be about!! very clean and close enough to the centre & the staff are more than helpful, plus the bar is a good place for a cheap drink after a days sight seeing.

Very impressed with this hostel! Only a 10 minute walk from the train station, really great breakfast (with stellar hot chocolate!), clean rooms, modern layout, cute little bar downstairs, and they even accommodated us getting in quite late! Highly recommended!

Nice place, only here a night though. Lots of common room and cheap beers. Room was clean, bathrooms got a little wet because of shower. It is a short walk to the center of town, but so are all the other hostels in the area. Could have better directions to the hostel....a nice man walked us...

Beware - must check in early. I arrived late and couldn't get in or check in and was forced to wonder to look for a different hostel late at night. So I did not actually stay there.

Excellent place to stay in Brussels. I would recommend it to anyone on a budget (they include breakfast in the price) and you can easily meet people in the main lobby if you're traveling by yourself.

The staff not so helpful to english speaking guests and unhelpful to any (normal) queries we had. location is good as yu can get to the centre quickly. Cleanliness of bathroom suspicious.

We booked a double room with ensuite. It was a very basic offering for £65 (ish)- It is the worst double room I have been in for this price in a hostel. Not too sure what the shared rooms are like they may be better. The shared area is nice enough. The cleanliness leaves alot to be desired.
