We've just returned from a break in Belgium and was very pleasantly suprised with the Bauhaus in Langstraat, Bruges. The place certainly wasn't as I've seen described on here, and it has to be said that any smells in the area aren't specifically to do with this hostel! Bruges in known as the Venice of the North and has many... more

From the outside, the hostel doesn't look bad. When we got to our room however, we were suprised with how dirty it was. We slept with the lights on because we were scared roaches might come out at night. The worst part was the shower. It is a button. No hot or cold! Just... a button. You hold it down... more

Dirty, smelly, stinky and disgusting. The breakfast being included is a plus, but again a poor one. The room in a poor condition. more

We arrived at this hostel after an 11 hour journey and were so disappointed with everything about this hostel. The service was awful, waited approx 30 mins before we checked in. We had to walk down a dirty, smelly laneway to get to the side entrance of the hostel..the stench from the laneway was disgusting! Our room was located at... more

After reading all of the reviews on here I was nervous, but I ended up having a very nice stay. The staff are incredibly friendly, the rooms are small but clean and have a sink, and the showers were hot and also clean. My only complaint would be the toilet, which was pretty disgusting. The atmosphere was great as well,... more

Stay away at all costs. We were shocked at how gross this place was. If we were not travelling around Europe on a budget we would have moved. The only positive is they charge you next to nothing...however what price can you put on a decent clean place to stay. We had to strip the mattress, turn it over, cover... more

My stay here was the second worst experience I have ever had at a hostel (and I've stayed in numerous hostels all around Europe). Problems began immediately: our room smelled overpoweringly of raw sewage, and the room itself was filthy. I never let my bare feet touch the floor because the carpet was so gross. We couldn't find the source... more

This is the dirtiest place I have ever stayed! I chose to rent a Bauhaus flat because we wanted something spacious with a kitchen to accommodate 4 adults and two children. Our flat was large--3 bedrooms with 6 twin beds, a large kitchen and eating area, and a living area with couches and a TV. Although the beds and bathroom... more

My husband and are relatively young, and we travel a lot. We're accustomed to staying in hotels and hostels around the world, and we know that not every hotel is perfect. However, I looked at the Bauhaus's website and the place looked great. They have both a hostel and a hotel, and we chose the hotel because we were told... more
