Very good hostel, it’s worth the money you spend there! • location - a little bit far from the center, and there are not very pleasant streets, please be aware that it’s not safe at night. •Room- clean room clean toilet and shower. You can rent a towel for 1.5€. I slept well. •Breakfast - for its price what do we need more?:) •Lobby & Bar- beer is cheap at the bar (very reasonable price) lobby is great for friends. •Staff-amazing, very helpful.

Hostel Bruegel, hotel in Brussels

Situated in Brussels and with Mont des Arts reachable within 500 metres, Hostel Bruegel features a terrace, allergy-free rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a restaurant.

Breakfast was decently good. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean. The cleanest I have encountered in any hostel till date. The rooms were sufficiently spacious and also very clean. The lockers were in the room and large enough to store 1 large backpack with some other stuff although remember to carry your lock.

Offering a buffet restaurant, a terrace and free evening entertainment, Jacques Brel Youth Hostel is located in the heart of Brussels, a 15-minute walk from the Grand Place and 2 km from the European...

The hostel was nice and over all clean. The staff were friendly and they had a place to store your luggage. Even though they were busy with renovations they made sure that guests received a breakfast. At first I thought it was in a bad part of town, until I realised that all the streets are deserted before 9/10 a.m. Very different from South Africa! The Hostel is located in a nice part of town that is close to the palace and other museums.

Smallfunnyworld Brussels, hotel in Brussels

Smallfunnyworld Brussels in Brussels provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

I liked the place and the location. It's a humble location, but it's worthy for a couple of days. Also, I enjoyed the small chocolate over my bed. I also enjoyed the small conversations I had with the guests.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hostel is a 15 minute walk from the city centre. I stayed in a 4-bed mixed dormitory, it was pretty small, but for the price it was alright. The bunk bed was comfortable, the sheets were clean and the duvet was pleasantly warm. The bathroom was clean, better than you would expect. I really loved the small balcony, it was refreshing to feel some fresh air in the morning.

    I got a wonderful, quiet room, and the bed was a normal one, not a bunk bed. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was good enough (Speculoos Creme :) Tidy and clean hostel. Easy to find, check in. Great location - close to Lidl, interesting district and two steps from the center. My backpack was stored for a few hours free of charge.

    Great location to stay, very central near Grand Place (as you might have guessed by its name). My reservation was one bed in a 6 bed mixed dormitory including a nice breakfast. Good service, clean and nice personnel are some of the key words describing Latroupe Grand Place Hostel. Next time visiting Brussels, this will be the place to stay.

    Possibly the best hostel that I've been to. Location is excellent. Staff are excellent. Hostel was clean and the bathroom was excellent. Bunk beds were a little creaky. I didn't get to try the breakfast. But I would highly recommend this hostel.

    I stayed at Sleep Well for 2 night, It was fabulous, the hostel was really clean and safe. I didn't expect hostel will be so spacious and tidy, especiallythe bathroom. The breakfast was amazing, we had bread with different jam and spread, salad, tuna, scramble egg, boiled egg, fried sausage and drinks.... The location was excellent , it is just 5 mins walk from Rogier Metro station and city centre. Sleep Well has lot of qcommunal areas that you can sit and relax. This was the best hostel I have stayed for holiday

    I stayed in a shared dormitory at this hostel for one night until I met my friends who were coming to Brussels a day later. The staff was immensely nice and friendly, they could communicate very well in English and the explained everything in detail. The common area is welcoming and it serves as a great place to meet new people or hang out with people you’re travelling with. Rooms were clean, well organised and safe. I was very satisfied and will definitely stay at other LaTroupe hostels in the future.

    One of the best hostels I've been to. I haven't been to a hostel in 8 years, and was shocked by the standard. Either it has changed a lot in the last couple of years, or this was just a really great hostel. Nothing to complain about. Clean, safe, great location and pretty much exactly what I wanted. I was even lucky with quiet roommates
