HI Brussels Jacques Brel Hostel

The indoor lobby and the outdoor lobby as awesome as they look in the picture. (I shared a picture in the outdoor lobby. And just right outside the gate from the hostel, so you can see the street.) The beds were really comfortable, i was in room of 10 beds. They are two floors inside the room. Down floor there are chairs and a big table, closet if you wanna hang your cloths and the bathroom. Second floor are the beds. Breakfast was simple but perfect and fresh everyday. But great for the money cost. I walked everywhere from the hostel It’s two stations away by buss to the main train that will drop you from the airport. But I prefer walking. So i walk immediately to the train station 12min walk then straight to the airport from there. Was a great stay. Thank you.

The location was great, only 8 minutes walking from the main square. The room was very comfortable. Each bed had a curtain for more privacy, which was nice. I had a private bathroom in my room, and that was great too. Breakfast was really good. They had bread, cereal, butter, Nutella, cheese, ham, yogurt, juice, coffee, and milk. There weren’t many fruits, but everything else was very tasty. I had a horrible experience at another place in Brussels and ended up booking this hostel in the middle of the night—very last minute. When I arrived, the staff was amazing! They were friendly, helpful, and ready to assist with anything I needed. They made me feel safe and truly welcome. Definitely a five-star experience!

Great location - 10 min away from the main sights and oldest part of the city. The facilities are very good - nice area for breakfast, amazing yard/patio, cool bar and the room which I was given was the best dormitory that’s I’ve been in hostels: 2 floors, bathroom on the first one and all the beds are on the second. The first floor looked like a cozy living room with big windows. The beds are comfortable and the bed linen is very clean.

A very well-run large hostel, within easy reach of Brussels Centraal and Nord stations, and close to the museums precinct. The staff are very pleasant and helpful, and there is a bar on the property that serves a generous menu during hour. Breakfast is included, although that is currently a bag of assorted items rather than a buffet or kitchen.

We ended up with room 211 (the gem of all rooms) so lots of space, our own shower and a balcony of all things?! Clean, tidy, minimalistic, carpet as a headboard! What more could you want. Bar on site (when it was open) and some table tennis equipment to see who is the supreme player. It was also quiet and the rooms didn't smell. Really the price is a steal for what we got in my mind so its a win for me. Just a decent breakfast would have sealed the deal.
