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.

    Great location. The bunk beds were clean and comfortable. Every bed provided with a socket AND a USB outlet, which I found very convenient. Although a bit noisy with the window opened, compared to other places, it was more of a comforting humming :) I actually enjoyed falling asleep watching people walking around the street.

    The hostel was so clean and we'll maintained even in a 4 bed mixed dorm. I felt absolutely safe there. The staff were super friendly and accommodating and arranged fun events for the hostel guests in the evenings. Highly recommend!

    Located at 10 minutes walk from the metro, it's the classic but modern hostel with a very kind staff and a bar with beers from local brewery. With two kids we opted for the quadruple room with bunk beds, private bathroom and shower. Good value for money.

    Great room, clean and comfortable, with a safe and a fridge and coffee-making facilities. Great location in a quiet street off avenue Louise, not far from tram stop. The Booking.com fee included all the city tax etc., so nothing to pay at the hotel.
