    Great base for exploring Flanders with teenage kids - clean, bright and very well run

    Beds and pillows were a bit hard. Had to make our own beds and there are no duvet covers . Concrete floor.

    Perfect base for Tour of Flanders. Big room for 4 with plenty of room to store bikes. Easy walk into town or to station. The hostel is big and airy. Staff super friendly and helpful

    A little far to walk from the station. Without a car, you need a bus.

    I liked the quick check-in to my room. Very clean shining bed. Everything was clean. And, a very good breakfast. I am satisfied with everything.

    Didn't bother me personally, but it was next to the train rails. So in the night or early morning you can hear trains passing somewhat loudly if a window is open.

    Wasn't too crowded when I visited, so it was very nice and calm. Everything in the room was great, it was quite spacious, internet was great (on phone wifi ~220Mbit/s download, ~28Mbit/s upload), breakfast was great!

    I didn't like that I could not arrive between 1 and 4 pm There were issues with my train so I arrived the hostel at 1:15. I called the reception around 12:30 to notify them when I knew I couldn't make it before 1. They were not flexible enough to adjust. The lady just said I should come from 4pm. This meant waiting in the rain from 1:15 to 4pm. Thankfully I had a church where I could wait. I believe the hostel should be more flexible knowing that people come from far

    Neat large room Good breakfast Quiet environment Perfect for a retreat

    Despite the fan, the rooms are generally hotter during the summertime.

    The staff was friendly and sorted an issue out. The price x performance of the stay is fair enough and it includes a simple, but good breakfast.

    Really a great spot; connecting bathrooms and loads of space in the rooms. Beds were decent. The breakfast buffet was really worth the extra cash. So much choice and held in a huge side room. There is a bar as well but as there was not many people about, I didn't check it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hostel is in a quiet part of town, so pefect to rest up.

    Perfect for solo travelers

    The placement of the outlets wasn't good. Outlets are only available for the beds on the bottom and it can be really annoying for someone who is laying on the top bed, especially after a long day coming back and wanting to lay down with your phone but not being able to due to the outlet being too far away from the bed and having no extension/long charger to charge your phone while you lay down.

    I loved the breakfast provided every morning and the early times at which it was available, since I like to wake up early. The atmosphere overall was perfect, the staff very kind and supportive, the bathroom as well as the condition of the room and bed upon arrival exceeded my expectations. The acceptance of being able to pay in cash at the property is a big bonus as well.

    I was missing was normal blanket cover (there were two mattress sheets instead). The floor in the room wasn't clean, a lot of dust, might be a problem for people with allergies. Also the shower makes the floor very wet so the bathroom looks bad after 1 shower, so splippers or flip flops are a good idea to bring with you :)

    The breakfast was really good, beds are comfortable, staff was very friendly and helpful. I very appreciate the communication. I asked them if I could check in a bit earlier and it was not a problem which I really appreciate! For 3 nights it was perfect, location is good. I would definitely recommend this accommodation. Thank you for making my stay nice, I will definitely be coming back.

    Got here very late, cycling from London that day, the staff was super friendly and helpful even at 9:45pm and sorted me quickly. They let me to keep my bike in the room with me since there was only 3 of us and the rooms are big. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean. The guys I have shared room with were friendly. Breakfast was plenty, easy to check in and out. Perfect place if you're looking for something affordable but decent, thank you!

    Our stay was a great experience. We stayed at the hostel during a music festival. Amenities are pretty minimal, but with clean beds, private bathroom, varied breakfast and a very welcoming staff, it beats any kind of camping option 😁

    - The plastic covers around the mattress, the hard sheets and the fact that it was a blanket instead of a duvet made sleeping not overly comfortable. And I did not realise you had to make your own bed... - a fixed shower head that does not come off the wall - you have to buy towels separately - no mat on the bathroom floor

    breakfast was decent, in a nice light and spacious room. beautiful building reception friendly
