Very lovely hostel! Clean rooms and common area, the breakfast is a great deal as well. Staff were incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Their backyard is a beautiful spot to hang out in. The location is very close to the Flixbus station as well as to the local transport. Would absolutely come back here the next time I'm in Ghent.

Bug bites

The room and other common areas didn't seem to be very messy, but the bed slept in had ticks and got lots of bites all over my body during the night.

As good as an hotel.

I stayed with a friend in a double room which was surprisingly clean and with all the services that a hotel provides (even better than some others where we stayed) Highly recommended !

Good Hostel near city centre

Well located hostel around 15 minutes or less to the city centre on foot. Good sized lockers for personal items as well. Service is good, too. Before you book, make sure you know the hours the front desk is staffed for check-in.

This is probably one of the nicest hostels I've ever stayed at. The rooms were nice and clean, the common-room and kitchen area were neat and quiet and the staff was very helpful!

Nice place

The staff was helpful and informed. They provided breakfast for you to make for yourself & clean up after. The room was small, but had everything you would need except air conditioning (we were there during a heatwave). It was walking distance from many interesting sights.

A Great Choice

We were there during the heat wave and they do not have air conditioning, which is understandable because it usually doesn't get that hot. We had a room with two twin beds and a private bath. It was very nice. The workers & owners were friendly and helpful.it was a great breakfast spread and fun to talk to the other travelers and hear their travel experiences & tips.
