    Price was low for Brussels and therefore accommodation was very basic, although clean and comfortable. You have to pay extra for the parking, which was not made clear at the time of booking

    Good value for money and staff generally friendly and nice

    Summer here can be pretty rough given that they don’t have any AC or fan here. The bed would be better if they have curtains for privacy. The location has a lot of construction on going as well

    Neat and clean. The toilet is clean as well.

    Although we booked a private room, there was no safety deposit box to store valuables. Also, the room didn't have any AC so it would get pretty hot unless we opened the window to cool down.

    The room was clean. Also, the community fridge was clean and we had no problems with storing our food there.

    The mattress had clearly been used for a long time since it shaped inwards and was not entirely flat. Ants seemed to come out of nowhere looking for food. Not having a basic hand towel for the bathroom could have been a nice addition.

    Pleasant room with great view. Had the basics of a toilet, shower, and wifi.

    The location. Even though it’s central, the neighborhood is kind of untidy and I personally felt a bit insecure (I am from Latin America).

    The toilet in our room was defective and didn't flush in the first half of the bowl. Also the room was really hot when we arrived, since the cleaning staff didn't close the curtains.

    It is a centrally located, cheap Hotel/Hostel. Considering the price you really can't go wrong with this choice. It's excellent value for money. It wasn't squeaky clean, but as clean as you'd expect a hostel in that price category to be.

    The Wi-Fi was non-existent, it shows you that you have 5 bars but it doesn't connect to the internet whatsoever. The room had no AC which meant opening the window but the city is rather loud. There is only one light in the room.

    The beds were comfortable and the location was good. There is a common area where you can use a kettle and a microwave. The room and the bathroom were clean.

    There was no way to pay with card for some items, like renting a lock, and I would have preferred more options because I did not have any cash on me at the time.

    The proximity to both the train station and the city centre is very ideal. There are a lot of amenities readily available at the hostel itself. The staff was very friendly and offered up ways to assist that I didnt even think of.

    Was super hot in the rooms (though that’s not the hostel’s fault, thats summers) Lockers are incredibly hard to open and there’s very little wifi in the rooms (if at all) My roommate also made it incredibly hard to enjoy (also not the hostel’s fault)

    Nice room, provided bodywash. Nice distance from cool landmarks.

    Seems like they’re upgrading the hostel which is nice, but looks a bit more shabby because of that… nothing bad about it though, no noise, or anything like that.

    Don’t get the reviews talking about the bad neighbourhood, it was all over really good.
