Jacques Brel Youth Hostel

The beds were clean and comfy and I loved the extra privacy provided by the curtains on the beds. Each room had its own fully equipped bathroom with a shower and all and there were also additional toilets on each floor. The breakfast included in the already low price had a good amount of options so even with some dietary restrictions everyone should be able to find something to eat (I'm vegan and I was able to have a really filling meal with no issues), there was also fresh fruit which was great. The staff was really lovely and I was able to keep my stuff in the luggage room before check in and also after check out as I was leaving Brussels in the late evening. There is also a vending machine at the bottom floor and a free drinkable water dispenser which was a nice addition. I honestly have nothing to complain about and especially considering the price and the central location this is just a really great option for anyone visiting for a couple nights. I'll most likely end up staying here again when I visit Brussels in the future.

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.

The room was surprisingly spacious with a very nice en-suite bathroom. Massive mirror in the bathroom, bench in shower, multiple hooks on the wall for towels. The beds were comfy as well as a decent size. The continental breakfast was simple but good. Public transport links were great, Madou station was two minutes away. Area seemed safe and in good weather only a short walk away from the city centre.

- close to the metro station (Madou) - good location: calm, quiet neighborhood, nice old tenement houses around, a small park with a small monument, the hostel is not located on the main street so it is quiet - nice staff - great friendly atmosphere - food and drink machines available 24 hours a day - a nice bar where you can drink alcohol and tea (free tea) - simple breakfasts (bread, cheese, ham, salami, fruit jam, Nutella, eggs, coffee and tea) - You can only enter the hotel with an entry card, which gives you a sense of security

The twin room was terrific value for money! The Location - so quick and easy to walk to the Grand-Place, Daily Cleaning, Breakfast included, felt secure, clean bathrooms! Overall, far exceeded my expectations for a youth hostel!
