3N Fam Trip in BE

Stayed 2N to this Hostel for the 3N BE fam trip. Just another introduction to our 2 teenager's kiddos - what's life having a hostel accommodation. Around 12mins walk to the underground train station and a 10mins to the nearest bus stop to City Centre. Good enough BFast to start the day and that's all inclusive with your booking. Although shower gel and shampoo are provided, must loan a towel at €1.50 each if you don't have with you. I still recommend the place if family's travel is on a budget.

Eco-friendly hostel in city centre

Great location. Easy check in and check out. Free , secure parking. Free breakfast. The only complaint is that it was not too clean (no toilet paper and sticky floor in the room, toilet was definitely not cleaned before our arrival). But would stay again as great atmosphere : young and old from all over the world. Nice to see.

Boa relação preço/qualidade, próximo do centro e estação de metro. O pequeno almoço podia ser melhor, fruta seca, fiambre e doces que acabam e não são repostos, apenas pão de forma e pouco mais...

Oda dışında çok güzeldi

Otel yeri güzeldi resepsiyon güleryüzlüydü. Odamız 2 kişilik oda en üst kattaydı ve çok küçüktü kalorifer su sesi yapıyordu ( sanırım hava yapmış) ve soğuktu. Gece rüzgardan bişeyler vuruyordu ses yapıyordu. Banyo ve tuvalet temizdi. Kahvaltı çok güzeldi.

La habitación que teníamos era moderna y estaba bien cuidada y limpia, era privada con dos camas para dos persona y baño privado. La recepción estaba abierta por la noche y nos atendieron muy bien. La única pega que le pongo es la zona en la que está ubicada... no tiene muy buena pinta

melhor escolha em Brussels. Voltarei sempre.

Incrível Hostel em Brussels. Reservei por forte recomendação do meu cônjuge, que lá se hospedou anos atrás. Houve um pequeno incidente de algazarra em plena madrugada nos quartos vizinhos, que foi prontamente sanado pela gerência. Café da manhã impecável, comparável aos melhores hotéis. Ducha e banheiro ok. Atendimento VIP, 24h por dia.
