Personale cordiale e simpatico. Presenza italiana nello staff. Camere spartane ma decenti. Ho soggiornato solo una notte ma mi sono trovato bene. Prezzo bassissimo e la colazione è compresa

All we needed located in a nice area
The hotel was in a nice location. We enjoyed the “back streets” it was located in, it was quite a hipsterish area. We had food and beers in a few bars and it was very pleasant and quiet.
The hotel itself felt a little dated but had all the necessary amenities and plenty of space in the room and it was clean. My only concern about the hotel was that our bedroom door didn’t lock too well. The breakfast was also nice with plenty of options.

Could be better.
First of all the room I booked was a female only dorm which was wasnt lksted on the website upon booking.
They were able to put me in a male dorm. THe room looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The place wasn’t run down and looked like it might have Brennan nice several years ago. The bathroom was dirty. The buffet breakfast was quoted lovely.
Overall nice, wifi works well in the room, good varieties for breakfast. but only one bathroom with toilet in a room shared by 8 people. So depends on your luck you may have to wait for a while sometimes. Surrounding neighborhood may look a bit dodgy.
One of the best hostels I've ever stayed in! It's close to the city center, the neighborhood is great, the staff is very nice and the hostel is very cute and clean.

Semplice albergo nel cuore del quartiere marolles
Ottima location per visitare il famoso mercatino delle pulci di Bruxelles ma anche il centro. Quartiere multietnico. Hotel molto caratteristico.

Bedbugs, poor condition, no light, not recommended
Its location is not bad but its condition is very poor, and they have bedbugs which is totally unacceptable. After 5 days of leaving I'm still itching and scratching myself to bleeding... receptionists are nice, breakfast is okay (it is not kept warm though) but overall very disappointing and I would not recommend it to anyone. :(
Ohh and light didn't work in the room, only a poor night lamp, no natural light, opposite building was 3m away so we had to close the curtain for privacy.
Stedet var perfekt for min veninde og jeg, som ønskede et hotel tæt på centrum. Personalet var rigtig imødekommende og forstående.

Good and Bad
Booked two nights in a dorm - first night was placed in a single room instead, but it did not look like anything that was posted online. I had an early morning flight after the second night and was planning on walking to the train station nearby to get to the airport, but the area made me uncomfortable and I didn’t want to walk alone at that hour so I didn’t end up staying the second night. I did see the room that I had originally booked as I was supposed to stay there the second night, and it was just as expected! Staff was friendly as well.
