Snuffel Youth Hostel, hotel in Ostend

Set 800 metres from the Market Square in Bruges, Snuffel Youth Hostel is housed in a modern-style building with an interior garden and terrace. Free Wi-Fi access is available.

The rooms were much bigger than expected! There were lockers in the room that could fit my suitcase. The bathrooms were shared by everyone on the floor, but I never had to wait to use the facilities. Maybe it was because I was wet, cold and tired, but the little pizzas they sold at the bar was the best food I've had in my life! A safe and inclusive space was created in the hostel, which was really nice.

Herdersbrug Youth Hostel, hotel in Ostend

Located 7 km from the historical centre of Bruges and 5 km from Zeebrugge Seaside Resort and the North Sea, Herdersbrug Youth hostel offers free WiFi, a free fitness centre and a terrace .

Nothing, they didn't accept me, maybe it's racial discrimination?

Charlie Rockets Youth Hostel, hotel in Ostend

Located in the centre of Bruges, 350 metres from Market Square, Charlie Rockets Youth Hostel offers functional accommodation, a bar and a restaurant.

We came for the half marathon, the staff was more than amazing proposing us a calm room and possibility to leave our bags and shower after the race, and to leave our bags the day before! The hostel is very cool and fun decoration downstairs with billiard and games! There is a very good sfeer! The rooms were good, although I had a weird cushion, showers and toilets were okay! It is just in the centre so perfect! I really recommend !

Looking for a hostel?
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 nice but unfortunately they could not accommodate me in the private room I booked. I was offered a shared dormitory room. It was okay so I opted for staying there and I had a good sleep. There weren't any issues. You could lock your valuables in the lockers.

    Very pleasant to stay. The hotel is right between the city and the sea. It's a big big bonus you can take your dog with you to the hotel room! The hotel has an urban vibe that makes it feel more like youth hostel. It is the right place to stay with friends or family during a weekend getaway.

    Much better than your average youth hostel. Needing to take your own towels (bizarely still standard in International Hostelling) and the lino floor were the only real downers, but it was very clean. Well placed for beaches, port and town centre. Firendly receptionists. Great hostel kithchen. Good, hearty breakfast included. Even the huge school group from UK were remarkably well-behaved. We expected a disturbed night and didn't get one. It was a double room, so no need to cope with a dorm.

    Nice room, bathroom door didn’t lock which wasn’t a problem for us. Very noisy family in adjoining room, a little more sound proofing would be an enormous help. Reception staff were great, bar staff was a little sullen, and bar was very badly stocked, we had to go out to drink sadly. Overall though I would recommend you, great location, lovely breakfast and very helpful staff on the whole.

    Great location! Clean, safe & quiet, even though in the center of the city. The stay really felt like being in a protective cocoon!! I also appreciate the convenience of self check in.

    Possibly the best breakfast in any hotel we've stayed in. Faultless fast wifi throughout. Comfortable bar/lounge area. Quirky decor. Great location close to the beach and the town centre. Is this a 'backpackers hostel for grown-ups'?

    Great location- they could have advised us to reserve parking though as it was full when we arrived. Lovely big family room with separate bunk bed room for the kids. Wonderful breakfast.
