- Han (8/5): - Having free parking and being able to reach the city center on foot is a big advantage. The hotel was clean and nice. The breakfast could have been better.

- Ana Luiza (9/5): Simplicidade com gentileza, limpeza, aconchego e tranquilidade. - Foi tudo ótimo! O hostel fica a poucas quadras da estação de tram, e tem uma estação de metrô nos arredores. Fica próximo a um parque, e também tem supermercado perto. As pessoas do atendimento foram gentis o tempo todo, tanto por mensagem antes de eu chegar quanto pessoalmente. É tudo muito bem organizado e limpo, a cama estava confortável, tem tomada bem ao lado, mesmo na beliche de cima. O chuveiro é bom, e o banheiro estava limpo. O Wi-Fi funciona bem, as áreas comuns incluem um bar e um jardim super bem cuidado. O café da manhã foi servido no horário previsto, e estava gostoso, com boas opções, dentro do padrão de hostel de qualidade. Eles têm até jogos de tabuleiro para aluguel ou empréstimo, o que achei um diferencial, mas não fiquei tempo suficiente para usar o serviço. Não tive nenhum problema. Acho válido avisar que as toalhas de banho são alugadas por 2 euros (não lembro se isso estava no anúncio), mas não foi nada demais.

- letkaa (5/5): Hostel znośny, niestety w nocy było głośno - Śniadanie było oki. Głośno
- Sid Ahmed (8/5): - La disponibilité du personnel surtout celui du matin.
J'ai également appréciè le petit déjeuner. RAS
- Mélanie (7/5): - L'accueil de l'ensemble du personnel, le parking sécurisé, le calme une fois dans notre chambre qui nous a permis de bien dormir et de récupérer de nos journées de visites. Le petit déjeuner copieux et varié. Les matelas des lits, pas très confort.
- Ramzan (7/5): - The place was very good and there were many restaurants and shopping nearby. The hotel did not provide towels which was not good. I had to buy one.
- Imad (7/5): Auberge avec conditions correctes pour passer un court séjour en famille. - L’auberge était correcte en termes de confort et propreté. Nous avons pris une chambre pour 4 personnes, donc nous avions notre propre toilette et salle de bain, avec des lits superposés. Le petit déjeuner était bien. L’auberge a un parking privée gratuit. Il y a une cuisine partagée avec frigo.
- Badr-Eddine (10/5): -
- Sara (7/5): Good for the price, nice place and position, not so much clean the area around - The hostel was ok for the price: we had a nice stay in general it was average clean. It wasn't expectional, but very okay for the price. Comfortable room and beds, pretty close to the bus stop. The position is good to reach other places, but the area around was pretty dirty (lots of trash in the streets idk why) and not well kept. Also be careful to read what's included (you have to pay the towel for the bathroom for example).
- Laura (10/5): - Fain ca era la margine si aveai mijloace de transport sa ajungi repede. Spațios cu curte unde sa bei cafeaua. Nu are prosoape, daca vrei 2€\prosop.
MD slab tare, daca vii dimineata, daca vii dupa 1h, nu se mai pun altele.
Prânz sau cine puține feluri la restaurant si foarte scump, mănâncă in oras binecsi apoi vii la hotel.
- Perrine (8/5): Très bon séjour ! - La chambre de l’auberge était très propre. Le lit confortable. Le personnel agréable. Situation géographique très bien. Chambre calme. Serviettes de toilettes mise à disposition sans frais supplémentaires. Housse de couette plus simple à mettre.

- Aziz (10/5): Très bon séjour - Le personnel a été très accueillant. La chambre est grande, très propre et fonctionnelle. Un point fort est le parking privé. Rien
- Yilmaz (8/5): The place was tidy and the bed sheet was clean and smell fresh - Car park very convenient Breakfast plates where it was located in a wood shelf there was at least 2 centre meter thickness of dust wool built up im guessing it was not cleaned for over several years it is impossible to miss as my vision is clear I can see it was build of dust wool
- THEMIS (8/5): -
- Frederico (9/5): - Tamanho do quarto Zona envolvente
- Theilmann (8/5): - La proximité du centre-ville à pied, proche du tram également. Parking privé. Personnel sympa. Chambre pratique. On voit que les chambres ont un peu vécu. Pour un week-end où l'on ne fait que dormir, cela suffit largement.
- Anka (9/5): Great location, nice breakfast and great value for money - Great value for money, enough space in the room. Clean rooms and great breakfast. Very quiet area and very close to the city center (only few bus/tram stops). Everything was great.
- isabelle (8/5): - Chambre agréable.
Petit déjeuner copieux.
Parking gratuit.
- Ivan Jančić (10/5): Perfect budget stay with breakfast & large private bathroom in Brussels - Breakfast for simple but ok - eggs, ham, cheese, coffee, milk, fruits...
Room was bigger than expected and we have our own private bathroom. All in all perfect budget stay in Brussels.
Its close to tram/bus ~ 5-10 minutes from the hostel and it can take you to city center.
- Estela (10/5): -
- Gupta (9/5): - Great property and staff Location kinda sketchy, hot water and water pressure problem in shower, squeaky beds
- Negar (6/5): Good - It was clean and the breakfast was good too. The location of accommodation was in a neighborhood where I didn’t feel safe .
The bar of the hostel was not satisfying.
There wasn’t kettle to boil water.
The check in or coming and going of guests to the room was unplanned and interfered with rest, especially at night.

- Alhawaniah (5/5): -
- Camila Fernanda (2/5): I was robbed - Clean, good breakfast, good location I was robbed, I think in this case the receptionist has responsibility because I rent the room a girl in a street situation and drug problem and he stole me and another girl from the room

- Saeed (1/5): Terrible and expensive. I could get a private and clean room at a hotel in Germany at the same price - Wifi was the only thing that satisfied me. The room had a stinging, putrid smell. Luckily, the janitor cleaned the next morning, but what surprised me is the towel inside the bathroom was left as it is. The towel was full of someone's phlegm and disgusting things on it.

- Cécile (10/5): Séjour parfait, auberge propre, bien entretenue avec de beaux espaces extérieurs. La proximité du centre est fort appréc - La chambre agréable , spacieuse, propre et calme
Le gentillesse du personnel
L’emplacement proche du centre
Le parking gratuit
Le repas bien appréciable après une journée de voyage et de marche Le manque de soleil 😂
- Jan (9/5): Polecam - Pokój dobrze wyposażony, ładny ogród Śniadanie mogłoby być bogatsze o warzywa
- Péter (7/5): -
- Gulihumaer (10/5): Lovely - Breakfast is so good! And staffs are very nice! Nothing
- Fernandez Martinez (7/5): -
- Bruno (8/5): If you need to save money, it is a great choice - Good option for a reasonable price.
Good parking lot
Great breakfast Quality of the mattress
Bad position of the outlets
- Ema (9/5): - Pulito, vicino ai mezzi di trasporto e al centro Asciugamani dovrebbero essere compresi già
- Sebastian (5/5): - Frühstück -> Preis-Leistungs.Verhältnis Das Schlafzimmer war mega einfach und überbucht.
Es kam kurz vor 24h eine 5te männliche Person in das 4er Zimmer und hat natürlich erstmal alle geweckt. Man fühlte sich nicht sicher,
Bettdecke->Anglican style
Persönliche Sachen sollten verschlossen werden.
Das Hostel befindet sich in einem Brüsseler Problemviertel!
- Florence (10/5): Super séjour - Absolument tout, l'ambiance, le jardin, le parking privé, la proximité du centre (25-20 mn à pieds), le super petit déj ... C'est très propre, très agréable. Les matelas trop mous.
- Daniel (8/5): -
- Marco (10/5): - Muy limpio, amplio, buen desayuno. Opción de parqueo. Todo bien

- Priscila (10/5): Excelente - Todo, ubicación muy cerca de todo y la habitación muy linda y limpia Nada
- Fouad (8/5): -
- ALPER (10/5): Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim - Konum olarak gezilcek yerlere gitmek için toplu taşıma duraklarına yakın merkezi bir konumda. Çalışanlar oldukça yardımsever ve güleryüzlü. Odalar geniş, temiz ve ferah. Wifi sorunsuzdu. Kahvaltı çok güzeldi ve çeşit olarak iyiydi. Ortak mutfak temizdi. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim. Cafe & bar fiyatları biraz daha uygun olabilir.

- Adon (7/5): - L' endroit, le dortoir , le petit dej , bon emplacement La réceptionniste était professionnelle. Mais lorsque je devais déposer la clé, j'ai reçu une réponse désagréable de l'appart du mr qui étais à la réception. Heureusement un autre est intervenu pour répondre à ma demande .
- MARIA (8/5): Για υπηρεσίες ως HOSTEL είναι όλα καλά. - Τοποθεσία καλή, 25 λεπτά με τα πόδια από το κέντρο. Έχει διάφορα καταστήματα σε κοντινή απόσταση αλλά με πολλά σκουπίδια αφημένα στο πεζοδρόμιο. Καθαριότητα δωματίου καλή. Πρωϊνό επίσης πολύ καλό. Το βράδυ στην επιστροφή πρέπει να έχεις παρέα για ασφάλεια γιατί βρίσκεται σε συνοικία με πολλούς μετανάστες. Αν ήμουν μόνη ή με κάποια φίλη δεν θα αισθανόμουν άνετα.
- Khammouch (2/5): - La chambre etait vraiment sale avec une oudeur vraiment maaaaaal
- Riquelme (9/5): -
- Santiago (8/5): -
- Alex Sandro (9/5): - The breakfast is great and the room is great. Basically just have 2 lockers in a 4 bed room so this could be better.
- Vilma Sousa (9/5): -
- Raeisi (6/5): Naja - Die Sauberkeit und das Frühstück waren in Ordnung Später Check-in, Lärm durch spät ankommende Gäste und nächtliches Duschen. Außerdem eine sehr schlechte Gegend und eine sehr geringe Qualität der Bar an der Rezeption
- Mira-Veera (8/5): - Paikka oli kaunis, siisti ja viihtyisä. Huoneeseemme, joka oli naistenhuone, tuli yöllä mies ja huomasimme sen aamulla.
Ensin vastaanotossa oltiin pahoillaan tilanteesta ja asia luvattiin korjata ja korvata. Valitettavasti myöhemmin kun lähdimme niin vastaanotto ei kuunnellut ja yritti vierittää syytä meidän niskoillemme. Onneksi saimme sitten jälkikäteen sähköpostia, jossa asia hoidettiin mallikkaasti ja todettiin, ettei ko tapahtuma vastaa heidän standardejaan.
Lopulta kokemus siis oli hyvä ja voin suositella paikkaa ja voisin itsekin pakata sinne majoittumaan.
