Pros: close to the airport, easy check in, nice room, quiet

Extremely convenient

Pros: It's small and clean. It's very close to the airport, great for an overnight stay when you need to get to the airport early. It's affordable. It even has a tiny \

Cons: I have no complaints

Nice comfortable stay near all main transportation modes and safe neighborhood

Pros: Close to airport, supermarket, bus stop and train station. Quiet neighborhood with few restaurants not far from the property

Cons: Late checkin and early checkout, no smoking area especially in cold weather.

Pros: I like the kitchen. So simple that I can cook a little.

Pros: Very well organised as a low cost solution. Linens and bad very very basic but everything at the right place. Perfect if you can adapt but if you're looking for comfort stay away.

Cheap but well equipped, the best choice if you need a hostel relatively close to the airport.

Pros: Good hostel for a 1 or 2 night stay, half an hour walk from the airport.

Cons: The walls are very thin (but there are earplugs prepared in the room in case your neighbor is noisy like mine was).

For a quick overnight was good

Pros: Very clean. Small kitchenette. Comfortable mattress and duvet. Only needed it for a few hours overnight nest to the airport. No bus/ public transportation in the vicinity at the moment You don’t see any staff. Self checkin and drop the key

Pros: It was clean and quiet. Fridge and electric cooker. Close to markets. It was a pleasant location.

Cons: No door at the bathroom.

Pros: Arrived fairly late for my room after spending a little longer in Bruges, so I was only going to be there for sleeping before a mid morning flight the next day. Given the split of reviews on here I can confirm that it's far better than people make out. Yes there's no staff (which is indicated), yes your room door is a window (with full covering blind if you know how to use one of those) but for the price and the fact that it says its a Hostel it's pretty easy to understand. That said my bed was comfortable, my room was impeccably clean. The check in process was as easy as can be and I couldn't hear any flights taking off as others have mentioned. No issues with sound from other rooms on my visit as others have stated and I slept my night throughout without earplugs, however these are provided should they be needed. There is also a vending machine which I didn't use but is a good choice for late arrivals like myself.

Cons: I had no problem with the heat in the room but I presume they may become muggy in warmer weather. As I'm only travelling I can't comment on the area around the hostel but a main door with code could possibly be a wise decision. As it is, it's fairly easy to access the main hall of the hostel which for a male is no problem but for others I wouldn't feel 100% safe. Likewise (and this isn't the hostels issue) but there are roads nearby that when walking down are dauntingly dark. Again, easy enough for me to handle as a male on my own but I would consider this upon arrival from whichever transport mode you have taken (train especially in my case)

The place offers great value for money, though it might not be ideal for light-sensitive sleepers due to the transparent

Pros: It's very convenient to go both to the city center and the airport. I highly recommend this place for anyone planning to travel in Brussels—it offers much better value for money compared to staying in the city center.

Cons: The room doors are made of transparent floor-to-ceiling windows with curtains for privacy. Additionally, the hallway has motion-activated lights, which can be quite disruptive to sleep if triggered by other residents.
