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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The only problem was that there was no elevator and the spiral staircase was not a fun to climb with heavy luggages. Other than that, everything was good. No ac but they provided a powerful fan. Some lockers were not working properly. Toilet slightly smells but overall fairly clean. Staff friendly. Some of us arrived outside of reception time (arrived between noon and 1pm) but the staff still opened front door for us to leave our luggage. The kitchen is nice and clean.

맘에들어요

아주만족. 2층침대 1층으로 바꿔달라니 그냥 혼자 방쓰게해줌. 인종차별인지 모르겠지만 나는편했음. 라디에이터 풀로틀고 자니 따뜻함. 대신 3층은 오르락 내리락 불편함.이거말곤 다만족.

Ótimo Hostel

Hostel bem localizado, um dos poucos na Europa que servem café da manhã. O atendente argentino muito prestativo e me auxiliou muito pois não sou fluente em inglês. Tem uma sala com TV é uma área para interagir com os outros hóspedes. Só achei o quarto muito quente ( me hospedei no verão).

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.
