Brussels Hostels

Pros: It's well located and very centric. The staff and facilities where perfect to a comfortable stay. I really liked it and will spend one more night there for sure!

Pros: The location is not too far from the North Brussels Station and Grand Place. Breakfast offers simple continental buffet. Cereals, baguettes, ham, cheese, scramble eggs, boiled eggs, coffee, tea, fruit. Big enough canteen so there's enough space for everyone. The staff at the reception were friendly. Plenty of space and bean bags to relax. I find the lockers very convenient for leaving your backpack before check-in. There's also a power point in each locker so you can charge your stuff and keep them safe.

Cons: The toilet in the room was obviously not cleaned since there's residue from former occupier. Also some shredded tissue paper on the floor. Not the cleanest hostel I've stayed but not the worst either. No window or exhaust fan in the toilet or shower meaning all the smell stays quite a bit. The noises from the street and door locks were loud so bring a good pair of ear plugs are highly recommended. The kitchen is quite small if you plan on cooking.

Pros: Room was fully remodeled

Cons: No

Pros: Location is OK.Hardware facilities of this hostel is very good.But some employees' service attitude and service awareness needs to be improved.

Cons: Stayed for two nights,because I had to get up early to catch the early train,and breakfast is usually at 07:00,so,I had to go early without the two breakfasts.The rules of this hostel is that the kitchen opens at 07:00.The staff on duty that morning (12.09)refused to let me use the kitchen.While no other hostels/hotels in Europe refuse their customers to use their kitchen in advance although they have similar rules that kitchen opens at 07:00 or 06:00,I stayed in Europe more than one month.He provided complaining email address and let me complain so that customers in the future can use kitchen in advance.I think he is young,and lack experience.Because according to some customers in this hostel, the breakfast of this hostel is very good,The customers usually use the kitchen either before or after breakfast.Using the kitchen never disturb other people's rest.Why not let them use it in advance? One of important aims of this hostel should be to provide satisfactory service,isn't it? Really hope the kitchen openning time can be flexible in the future like other hotels/hostels. Thanks!

Cons: I didnt like the internet wifi connection very slow...

Pros: Breakfast exceeded my expectations considering it is a hostel. Facilities were great! Really cool lobby/common area.

Cons: Cleanliness, in general, could be improved.

Pros: the personal

Cons: nothing

Pros: I was very positevely surprised about the hotel! It is amazing place! And the breakfasts - unbelievable!

Cons: Lack of towels.

Pros: Very convenient,staff is very friendly,therz nothing called as bored,when ur at this property

Pros: Location is quite good as it is close to the train station and the city centre. The room is nice and the matress is good as well.

Cons: Too noisy and warm. Constantly closing doors and shouting in the middle of the night so we couldn´t sleep. Very bad noise insulated.

Pros: Spaceous room for three, and a balcony! Great for teip with friends

Cons: Room was partly untidy, there were no towels but I had to go back to get them.

Pros: the room

Cons: the breakfast

Pros: Very clean and well maintained. Staffs were very cooperative and helped me to resolve the problem I had.

Cons: One of my food container was thrown to basket. Though it was unintensional but house keeping staff should ask in case they have doubt.

Pros: Place and comfort, simple and efficient!

Cons: Nothing to say

Pros: Enthusiastic workers and comfortable bed

Pros: It is situated a calm area of Brussels just at the border of the city at the forest. Actually itbis a sport center which has accomodation. Many possibility to do sport, taka a walk or hike or to relax.

Cons: No airconditioning in the room and the window canot be openned. In more than 30 C it is not a confortable situation.

Pros: I stayed here for two weeks while waiting for a visa, and I really, really liked this place. The rooms are spacious and lockers are provided (you have to bring a lock though.) Each room has two desks and a TV. The beds are fairly comfortable and there’s a pair of power outlets next to the lower bunks. Each room has toilets and showers with soap. The rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily and are always clean. The hostel is also on the property of a sports centre, so in the evenings, you can take a walk around the property, watch people play sports, etc. It’s very relaxing. I would love to stay here again (I already miss those evening walks.)

Cons: Not much to complain about...the hostel is a bit far out of the way, but it’s a fifteen-minute walk from the nearest metro station, so getting downtown isn’t too bad. I also had a difficult time finding check-in, as the hostel is in a building behind the sports centre, but you go to the sports centre to check in and out, and there aren’t any signs that show that.

Cons: the parking. Needs to be reserved for residents/guests. People that come for sports park everywhere and there is no gate/barrier to stop them. Then residents have difficulty finding parking

Pros: Clean, new place, not a real hostel

Cons: Very hard mattresses, light switches on automaticly when sb enters, not à normal shower

Cons: Hard to find your room.

Pros: The room was very clean and light, in a nice location near a forest. We had to book last minute due to an issue with a previous hotel, and it was affordable compared with the rest of Brussels! The room had a TV with some English channels as well as Belgian, which was good.

Cons: Despite signs asking for quiet after 10pm, it was quite loud in the night. At one point we thought we could smell cigarette smoke coming through the air vents. The shower was very basic and not the most pleasant. It was really at least a 15 minute walk to the metro, walking fast, rather than 10 as on the description. We mentioned on check in that we would be leaving very early in the morning to get a train. We were told this was fine, to just leave our room key in a box on reception. However, we then couldn’t get out of the main front doors, which we weren’t warned about. We walked back through the accommodation to the back of the hostel, which is a reasonable distance, but we couldn’t find a way out that way either, as the gates were locked! In the end we had to crawl under the gate to the car park (!), which luckily had enough space for us to do so. This was less than ideal, and it would have been good to have been warned, and told how we could actually leave!

Pros: Very clean and comfortable rooms. Helpful staff.

Cons: Its too far from main stations and not well connected by public transport. Difficult to get there and it’s in the middle of residential area.

Pros: The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The restaurant attached is run by very friendly, nice people.

Cons: I am covered in bed bug bites from this hostel.

Pros: Clean and spacious

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Close to the local train station, friendly and helpful staff, clean room and bathroom, clean and comfortable linen. Very good value for money, somewhere to sleep and easy to get to and from train station with luggage. Thank you!!!

Pros: Easy access to train station/ quite clean.

Cons: Small room, drinkable water missing,

Pros: My niece and me, stayed at the Train Hostel for three nights in a relatively big room on the second floor. The check-in was fast and the receptionist was friendly. The room had one king size bed, or in fact two single beds joined together with one big matress on the top, and one triple bunk bed. We put our valuables in the cupboard and locked it with the padlock I had brought with me. We had our own bathroom with shower and WC. There was no TV in the room but we were out almost all day so that didn't bother us. Moreover, the complimentary WiFi worked well. I was a little bit worried about the noise level but it was quiet every night. The area felt safe since there is a Police station right across the street. As we had a flight in late afternoon we used the luggage room in the basement to store our suitcases free of charge. Tram number 92 stops 2 minutes walk from the entrance and brings you to and from city center in approximately 20 minutes. Will stay here again next time in Brussels.

Cons: If you take the train from Brussels International airport, you will have to pass by the Schaerbeek train station, change at Brussels gare du nord (or centrale or Midi), and take a local train back to Schaerbeek. The Train ticket you used from the airport is valid on the local train so you don't have to buy a new ticket. If you are not aware of this, it can be a little bit frustrating but we were prepared so it was ok for us.

Pros: A great theme type of Hostel. A must if you like trains especially being next door to the Museum.

Cons: A quiet part of town, very relaxing

Pros: - Location: Schaerbeek station was 4min on foot. - Room: confortable, clean and silent. - Staff: Well spoken in English, friendly. - Hostel: Train theme very pleasant, common areas (leasure).

Cons: - Room: 6 bunk beds (one double bed), not a double/twin room. After the first night we thought we would have more people in the room (double/twin room reserved), but after speaking with the staff they explain us that double rooms are adapted bunk bed rooms. - Temperature: No air conditioning (room a bit hot).

Pros: Location was very convenient for Brussels centre. Staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was ok and the place itself is quite fun. The linen and towels were clean as was the room. It could have slept 4 people in which case it would have been really good value for money.

Cons: The room I was in (2) was on the ground floor off the courtyard. The place is a hostel so there are a lot of young folk who were hanging out until 1am. They were running up and down the fire escape type stair so it was pretty noisy and hard to sleep.

Pros: Nice and clean room. Super nice personnel.

Cons: Lights in the room was quite dark

Pros: Very original decoration, mixed between old train/Station material and very modern equipments (also wifi was excellent). Staff was really nice and helpful. Very nice bathroom and separate toilet.

Cons: Breakfast was a bit disappointing, not very various,(ham, cheese or salami) no more croissants, only white slices of bread and toaster not properly working. Samovars with hot water for tea of coffee (so law quality); But only 8 euros so we could also not expect to get a brunch at that price though not aligned with the picture on the website :-) I'm sure that with a bit more organisation, not even more money, the quality could be easily improved.
