This hostel is great on so many levels. The rooms are fantastic and clean, and the location is good (being only a 5 minute walk to the nearest metro station). Unfortunately there is little beyond the basics. For example, there is usually only one person on reception which makes checking in a very, very slow process. The self-catering kitchen is apparently closed, without explanation or apology. There is no really lounge area, except for the bar which is only open from 7pm-10pm. The 'menu' consists of only 3 meals, of which only 1 is available - again, without explanation. The wifi is free, but unusable.

This hostel is great for those who need a room, and nothing more. If you are used to hostels with good services and a more social feel there maybe better hostels elsewhere in Brussels.

We stayed in a room for 4, with bathroom. What to say?! Very nice decorated, clean room. And also the bathroom, that made it possible to one person take a shower while another uses the sink and mirror. The breakfast is very good (juices, coffee, tea, bread, cheese). It's very near the metro station (10 min walking). The staff is friendly, there are computers with internet access in the lobby and also a safe luggage room, where you can put your luggage in separate cages.

My partner and I stayed here in June this year and made our booking online from Australia based on the pictures and previous reviews. We were backpacking through Europe on a budget and this place was really great to us! The older staff were very helpful, though the young staff were slightly less attentive (as can be expected) but still useful.
The rooms are simple and clean with cupboard space, a desk and bedding. We asked for a double room (with doble bed) and got two singles pushed together haha but we made do. The bathroom was acceptable and just looked like your average shower at home, no serious mold that I could see. We also had a nice window sill with a nice view which made it backpacker romantic.
The buffet breakfast was GREAT with breads, yogurt, eggs, fruit, cereals, etc and the eating hall is beautiful with a gorgoues garden outside. Other things include: ping pong table, cute little bar and courtyard, computers with internet, free wifi in the lobby, little library and laundry (great for backpackers). The hostel also had lots of maps and brochures about the area.
We had no problems staying here and think it is great if a hostel is all you need on your travels!

This is basically a definition of hostel. The rooms are like dormitories but very big which is nice. The hostel also has its own bar/ resteraunt and the bar tenders are helpful when trying to decide which kind of Belgian Beer you want to sample. There are also computers to use free wifi and a lounge in addition to a kitchen and laundry room. We had a problem checking out however, there is supposed to be someone at the desk 24/7 however there was no one there when we were trying to check out for an early train and had to shove our keys under the grate but we almost missed our train before we decided to do that.
