    So central for old town and the main sights. Great welcome. Superb value for money. Parking on street within 50 metres. Good simple breakfast. Great bar and helpful staff. Discounts on castle tickets.

    The room was beautiful and comfortable but the breakfast is kinda just acceptable for the price, it could be better. It's also like a shared room hotel. It doesn't have social life in its common areas. And if you go by bike, better ask to put inside because i left mine outside without a lock in the bike rack and it was stolen. They don't have cameras for the bikes.

    Very nice room with decent amount of natural lighting and ventilation. Perfect bathroom, have our own personal light and plug next to our bed. The bed is a bit squeaky and shaky, but the mattress is fine. Breakfast included!

    This hostel is above all expectations! Very good location, even better prices! The rooms and sanitary are clean and modern. The food is good, staff friendly. You can ask for more then 1 keycard if you stay with a group. Handy when going into town at night.

    Very nice hotel! The rooms are pretty small but they are ok. The don't offer by default towels so you'll need to ask at the reception, 1,5 euros one big and one small towel.

    Maybe a bit expensive if you're on a budget, but it's really worth it if you want a fresh place to stay and recharge.

  • 2/5 Deidara A. 1 year ago on Google
    Good location but a bit pricey for what is offered. There is no soap in the rooms which is extremely unsanitary. The toilet is separated from the shower & sink so you can’t wash your hands if someone is using the shower. You also have to make your own bed which I find a bit off, considering they charge €36 a night.

    Top hostel. I really recommend everyone. Cant say anything bad about them: service, location, very innovative and also Nice infrastructure as they renovated a lot the last months. And thank you for the good service during my beer tasting tours of Belgiumbeerdays.

    Everything besides the breakfast is on good level. There is nothing to eat besides carbs and lots of sugar, no meat, nothing warmed, cooked. The coffee is not fresh.

  • 5/5 A M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We stayed in a quadruple room dormitory during our trip to Belgium and France in September 2003. There were churches, canals, cobblestone roads around the area, and the sound of the carrion of the church was heard, so I felt like I was staying in the center of Europe. Each dormitory room also had a clean toilet and shower room, and the shower was comfortable with warm hot water. (Original) 2003年9月のベルギー・フランスの旅行の際に4人部屋ドミトリーに宿泊しました。周辺は教会、運河、石畳の道などがあり、また教会のカリオンの音が聞こえてきたりと、本当に欧州の中心部に滞在している気分を味わいながら、滞在ができました。ドミトリー各室にも清潔なトイレとシャワー室があり、シャワーも温かいお湯がきちんと出てきて、快適でした。

  • 4/5 Aatu D. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good accessibility. Very friendly service. A strange bet that the respa will catch up at 11pm after which you are all alone. Forgetting a room number can only be overcome by going through all the doors on the pass one by one. However, the closure was kindly called back and reminded. This is a big plus. Otherwise I would have been in trouble for the worse once. Would it be a good idea to have a compartment in the windshield where you can get a pass with service code outside of service hours? The card holder familiar from hotels for activating room electricity was a bit of a strange solution. Couldn’t manage to spend time in the evening solving problems, so the batteries for the whole group of electrical appliances were then at dawn in the finals. The timer for the motion sensor on the toilet lights was really fast. No one defecates or urinates in six seconds or sways so much during performance that the lights remain active. The shower room connected to the room has good surfaces and the space was clean throughout. Really positive surprise. Breakfast was mentioned to be available until 10.30. 10.05 I tried a juicer and it was closed. I suddenly glanced at the other breakfast I found to be available. Admittedly, I didn’t stay to ask for it any more. You should be vigilant with this. (Original) Hyvä saavutettavuus. Erittäin ystävällinen palvelu. Outo veto, että respa menee illalla kiinni klo 23 minkä jälkeen olet aivan yksin. Huoneen numeron unohtumisesta selviää vain käymällä kaikki ovet kulkukortilla yksitellen läpi. Sulkeutumisesta kuitenkin ystävällisesti soitettiin perään ja muistutettiin. Tästä iso plussa. Muutoin olisin ollut pulassa pahemman kerran. Olisko hyvä vaikka hommata tuulikaappiin lokerikko, josta kulkukortin saisi palveluaikojen ulkopuolella tunnusluvulla? Hotelleista tuttu kortin pidike huoneen sähköjen aktivoimiseksi oli vähän outo ratkaisu. Ei jaksanut käyttää illalla aikaa ongelmanratkaisuun, niin koko porukan sähkölaitteiden akut oli sitten aamunkoitteessa finaalissa. Vessan valojen liiketunnistimen ajastin oli todella nopealla. Kukaan ei ulosta tai virtsaa kuudessa sekunnissa tai heilu niin paljoa suorituksen aikana, että valot pysyisivät aktiivisena. Huoneen yhteydessä olevassa suihkuhuoneessa on hyvät pinnat ja tila oli kauttaaltaan siisti. Todella positiivinen yllätys. Aamiaisen mainittiin olevan tarjolla klo 10.30 asti. 10.05 kokeilin mehukonetta ja kiinnihän se oli. Muuta aamiaista en äkkiseltään vilkaisemalla havainnut olevan tarjolla. En tosin jäänyt kyselemään sen enempää. Tämän kanssa kannattaa olla varuillaan.

    No airco in Belgiums' hottest summer ever.. They gave fans but the fans didn't help. Good breakfast. Very close to city center. Overall good hostel.

  • 5/5 francisco h. 11 months ago on Google
    Friendly service simple breakfast, but good. Clean overall.

  • 4/5 Nick P. 6 years ago on Google
    The location is fantastic, minutes' walk from the centre of things, and nice places to eat and drink. In addition, it's on a quiet, canalside square. The staff were friendly and the ensue bathrooms clean and modern. Bunks a little creaky, but sturdy and comfortable. Security was also good, with in room lockers.

  • 1/5 Javiera Muñoz B. 1 year ago on Google
    Bad experience. There is no one at reception at night, and the person I tired to call on the hostel emergency number was quite rude and a bit scary to be honest. Additionally, a (very selfish) person at my room was snoring really really really loud so I and the other guest in the room could not sleep all night. I would recommend choosing Hostel Upperlink, my friends stayed there and it is way better, though a little more expensive. Happy to have left!

  • 4/5 Asha P. 11 months ago on Google
    Perfectly located - 2 mins walk from the castle, right in the centre. Rooms were clean and odourless, people were nice and helpful. Continental breakfast included in the price Only thing that was a big no for me (meaning never coming back) are the blankets that are not being washed after every person and the sheets that dont fully cover the blanket so during the night it will move if you’re not careful and that’s just disgusting.

  • 1/5 ali a. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff are nice but check in policy at 15 and check out at 10! Something like 19 hours in total is your chance! as they told cleaning is ongoing however the room was not clean at all! The sheet does not cover the blanket since it is just a fabric so u will touch kind of dirty blanket inevitably. Expensive as a hostel and rooms are smelly. Take a bottle with yourself to put it in the window frame for ventilation. Wifi is weak at upper floors. Hope Google map introduces zero start option one day

  • 5/5 Becca F. 5 years ago on Google
    We stayed in a room for two people and it was perfect for what we needed. The Hostel came to the rescue as we initially booked at a falsely advertised AirBnB and needed a place to stay last minute. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. She recommended places to go in the old town and where to park. The rooms were clean and affordable. Breakfast was included in our rate. It was simple, but delicious and effective - sliced meat, cheese, fruit, bread with a variety of spreads, cereal, etc. Parking outside the hostel is on the street, for €6 per 24 hour period. The front desk provides the bedding at check-in and you are required to turn in the sheets at the end of your stay. There's a small cafe at the hotel with tea, coffee, and beer available which was perfect after a day of sight seeing. Towels are available to rent or purchase at the front desk as well.

  • 4/5 Lais Reis L. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place to stay with friends. Some of the rooms are better than others. The private bathrooms inside the rooms are really nice and tidy. They give you sheets and a towel when you do the check in, very nice and clean too. The beds are not so good, but not that bad. Very silent too. Do not bring large luggages because there's no elevator. It's also close to the center of the city and to some really beautiful sites. Recomended!

  • 1/5 white n. 3 years ago on Google
    Check in is too late, whereas the check out is too early. The women behind the desk is unpleasant. When it comes to shower, you leave behind you puddles in the bathroom. This hostel is too expensive for what it is. I won't recommend. I have chosen 1-star because I can't choose lesser.

  • 5/5 Neville B. 4 years ago on Google
    Good hostel in Ghent. I used Google Maps to find it from the bus stop that Flixbus stops at on the outskirts of town. Good continental all you can eat breakfast with meat cheese and hard boiled eggs. Doesn't have a self catering kitchen but there was a microwave available to heat up food in the restaurant area. Nearest supermarket was either an ALDI or a SPAR. Hostel has a simple bar for bottled beers and glasses of wine.
