By far one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and I was pleasantly surprised to have the best view of Ghent Castle right from my window. It truly added to the experience. Despite the building being old, it has been maintained in excellent condition. The entry process was seamless with an online swipe key, which was very convenient. The reception staff were incredibly friendly and supportive, making the stay even more enjoyable. The lobby area had great options for food and beverages, a cozy space to relax, and even free games to play. The bathrooms were well-kept and included a laundry area, which was an added bonus. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Ghent!

The breakfast is worth it! The place is close to attractions and the bus/coach stop. It's also in a quiet neighborhood.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

There is one clothes washer €5 as well as one clothes dryer €2 per load, of which the price is fairly reasonable. The hostel provided me with a lower-bunk bed as requested.

Everything was typically a youth hostel. The staff were very helpful. It's in the old town, so the attractions are easy walking distance. The staff told us about a free English speaking walking tour, that we could go on, and so we did, and it was great.

The staff are friendly, the shared space room is very cosy and you can get free delicious coffee and chat with strangers. The rooms are nice, and exceeded our expectations copared to what we paid. Bonus: the hostel is a 15mins walk from the center. Overall I liked everything and I would recommend it for a few days budget friendly stay.
