the first staff was mean but later on, the other staff who came later were the nicest people. The man was mean and trust I always give people chances. He lacked manners and discipline.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Employees were nice but the old fellow I assume was the owner was extremely rude and curt for no reason. Showers open directly into the hallway with no curtain (!?!), bedroom door handle fell off several times, sink in room was ready to fall off sink, towels cost €3 each. At 70 euro a night I did not expect much, but this was pretty horrendous, and I am used to staying in bad motels.

Basically: fine
I stayed in a private room with my sister. Pros: I felt safe. It was exactly like the pictures, staff was always around & very pleasant The shower always had warm water even when there was a line. Having a sink in your room was great! The sheets, shower & room were all clean. I saw people cleaning the bathroom daily Area was pretty good; laundry mat, grocery store & 3 transit stops all within 4 minutes & plenty of restaurant and liquor stores too Cons: pretty much all major tourist stuff was about 20 minutes on transit & there wasn't a ticket machine nearby Hallways were pretty beat up: cracks in the plaster, watermarks, parts of the ceiling missing Check in was at 2pm, we got there at 2:15 and our room wasn't ready till 3:15 Luggage storage was just a stack of bags between the vending machine & desk. Not even behind the desk Wifi worked great down stairs, but less and less well going up Be aware: bath towel rental is €5 The shower is basically a closet where you step into what would be a shower stall, except there is no curtain or second door. There's no stand for the shower head, floor was always wet, & you'd have to hang anything you want dry on a hook & turn off the shower to wash your hair. I've had worse showers on this trip, but yeah. Pretty basic. Definitely not a "youth" hostel, because there were lots of old men No fridge in the kitchen

AVOID AVOID AVOID
Avoid at all costs. Extremely dirty, open door/unsafe, rude staff, located in a wet basement. Older crowd, felt a bit like a homeless shelter. Nothing youth about this youth shelter. I stayed once and lost my money on the rest of my trip (I paid up front for four nights). It was that bad

Not quite as expected
Hostel definitely needs some investments, room was dark and bed was squeaky. Check-in was pretty straight-forward and the girl at the reception was very helpful and friendly. Hostel is in old part of Brussels, rather far from the centre (had to take a metro and tram to get there).

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
a place to sleep with not much else to recommend.
the hostel was ok for a place to crash, but security and shower facilities left a lot to be desired. not to mention that reception didn't open until the afternoon. the security was minimal at best, the door is almost always open and i didn't get a key to my room for thew first two nights so my dorm room was also unlocked and accessible. the showers were ok, water leaked everywhere no matter how well the curtains were closed, and there always seemed to be a sopping wet towel on the floor. check out was also interesting as basically you stuck your key through a hole in the door, again wasn't the most secure or tidy place. you get what you pay for thought.
