So check in went fine. We walked from the Brussels Midi train station. Not a long walk but not easily accessible with luggage due to construction. We received room 111. It was a private room which i had booked. We went up the stairs to the room and I opened the door and went to move in to hold the door for my friend with the suitcase. Immediately inside the door was a flight of stairs that i promptly fell down. I landed on my hip and hit my head on the step going up to the bathroom. My friend screamed, and with staff right down the stairs, no one came to check on the commotion. Thankfully nothing seems to be broken but my head was bleeding. My friend went to ask the staff why there was no warning, and they thought she was saying i fell down the stairs to the room. The front desk clerk finally came up with a first aid kit, and stated she didnt know the room had stairs as she had never seen the room. There is no air circulation in the room unless you open the window which is really a door to another staircase. You could not leave it open as there was traffic up and down it all night. Beware if you get room 111

Easy check in, kind people at the desk. No lift so had to climb 4 floors with luggage but not impossible. Good value for money. Good place to sleep , beds comfortable and clean. Towels provided. Nice toilet and shower, clean and soap provided. No air con. Loud area on the streets a lot of men just lurking about so a bit on edge especially if travelling solo. But overall happy that we stayed here. Close to station and city center. No proper kitchen but free tea and kettle downstairs .

Our family of four stayed one night in this very basic accommodation. Towels only available at extra cost and luggage has to be carried up and down steep, narrow stairs. Not a huge deal for us but could be difficult for some. The room was clean but we needed the windows open for ventilation and cooling. The street outside is extremely noisy with traffic, emergency vehicles and patrons of nearby street patios, making it quite challenging to sleep well. Least favourite accommodation of our three-week trip,

Great except phone attack

Would be 5 stars except my phone was attacked 4 times over the network. Each attack required a hard reset to unlock the phone again. This is a network issue with their network. Stay in airplane mode while at the hostel. If the attack had succeeded I would have lost my phone and bank accounts.

Awkward room access

On this occasion (the second of two stays in ten days), we were allocated a room at the top of the first flight of stairs. It might best be described as awkward, at worst a death trap. There were two steps down into the room immediately upon opening the door, and could easily have fallen while finding the light switch.

So bad I didn’t stay for longer than 12 hours and had booked 2 nights Steep stairs and no lift. Reception is in different part of building to accommodation. So have to leave reception and go out of building and around corner. No lift. No hot water in bathroom and no toilet paper. Loud music playing in room all night, loud people screaming outside door all night. Bad smell that lingers. Not recommended.

Wouldn't stay again

It's definitely in a sketchy feeling part of town. The door to the fire escape in our room was not secure - it would lock, but if you shook the door, it came open. There were people outside that weren't working and were just lingering. Lots of steps and narrow staircase. You have to go outside after you check in to get to the door to go up to your room. The shower doesn't have a door and the water got literally everywhere and with no towels, that was not ideal. The bedspreads were yellowed (you know how down or pillows get yellow as they're laundered or used/old). Definitely would not stay there again.
