Eco-friendly hostel in city centre
Great location. Easy check in and check out. Free , secure parking. Free breakfast. The only complaint is that it was not too clean (no toilet paper and sticky floor in the room, toilet was definitely not cleaned before our arrival). But would stay again as great atmosphere : young and old from all over the world. Nice to see.

Stayed here because it was fairly priced and only 10-15 mins walk from the city centre. It was clean and probably exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was pretty decent and included too.

The staff were very nice and the breakfast is very good. Be careful walking alone at night, especially as a woman since it is just out of the centre it is quiet and scary to be approached by men hitting on you.

Great place to stay
Clean, convenient, good atmosphere with friendly staff. Free parking is great. The location in Molenbeek is special but not dangerous. The BF is very good and plentiful, with good coffee and juice, although it is of course not a hotel buffet.

Terrible Customer Service
I stayed in this hostel for 3 nights.. I am a tourist doing solo travelling around Europe. As a traveller from the Far East, I was expecting that Westeners are more helpful and friendly most especially to tourist, similar to Asian hospitality. However, the receptionist in this hostel tends to be annoyed whenever I order drinks and food. He said he is counting his money and told me to wait for the next receptionist coming. He never smiles, very sarcastic and horrible. It is very obvious and I can see from his eyes that he doesn't like his job. He should quit or stay at home.

Save my day
I desperately needed a place to stay for less than 8 hours with parking and not expensive, this hostel was clean with a 24 hours front desk, and a really good breakfast. Reminded me my back packing ages 30 years ago.

Simple and inexpensive if that’s what you need
An inexpensive place for a one night stay kind of thing. Free isolated parking (in an area where you would want isolated parking) Pretty easy to get to the city centre.
