Pros: Probably the…read morecleanest hostel I've ever been to, they were cleaning details like railings etc daily The rooms are cleaned often with fresh towels daily The beds are pretty comfortable The people who stayed were all courteous and respectful . I felt ok leaving my big suitcase in the room unlocked, and locked my smaller items in the cubbies. One time I left the key in the lock all Day and it was fine Lively bar, but not hostel prices. Cons: Dorms are very small and 6 to a room, i touched the girl next to me in the next bed with my foot as we didn't have a bunk and the two beds were so close The rooms have windows that do not open so it gets pretty stuffy, everyone was snoring Lockers are not free for large items, and it's not near the rooms. there is no free storage after check out or before check in. No activities or tours available Vending machine water was almost 4 euro. Overall an ok value for the money (43 Euro for a dorm bed in May) but only bc there is not much cheap in the city. I enjoyed my stay but it's a pricey city and the hostel follows suit.

I typically avoid hostels, because let's face it-I'm kind of a princess. I like comfortable beds,…read moreclean spaces, and privacy. This hostel was all of those things. In fact, I felt like I was staying at a brand new 3 star hotel. Rooms are immaculately clean, and quiet. My room had 3 bunks in it, but I was alone! Bathroom was inside the room and enormous-private shower and toilet, completely secluded and really spacious/clean. Staff was really helpful and kind. Elevator and free breakfast. By far the nicest hostel I have ever stayed at in my life. I can't believe it was only €20 per night.

Inexpensive and somewhat well-located hotel for visiting the European administrative buildings, but…read morethin walls, disappointing breakfast and sparse rooms. Brussels loosely has two places you want to be: (1) near the European administrative buildings and parliament and (2) near the Grand Place. This definitely favors the former over the latter and made it a decent choice for my work trip. That said, the Courtyard is only a bit further away, is closer to the Grand Place and is slightly nicer. Specifically, the Courtyard has a decent restaurant as compared to this hotel's paltry breakfast with nothing hot except for beverages and some weird automatic machine to make your own scrambled eggs in a cup. The room itself was nice enough with big windows and decent shades. Definitely styled to be urban hip/chic, but a bit less functional than you'd like with no real dresser and a mediocre closet.

Robe and slippers were provided. We also chose to get breakfast over points. Breakfast was ok- nothing I really cared for though. There was a variety of deli meat and cheeses. It was more of a light snack to me.

They provide free breakfast in the morning, which is a nice plus. Great location that is quiet but walkable to all the popular areas. Would love to stay here again in the future.

STRICT 3PM CHECK IN POLICY. A friend of mine decided to stay an extra night which required her to…read moremove rooms. And in order to do so, she had to check out at 11 am and re-check in at 3pm. That was a bit absurd to me. If you arrive before the check in time you can still leave your bags in a locked closet. Bring a lock for extra security and lock your valuables in a locker. If you need to sleep for a bit (like I did) there are plenty of lounge chairs. Other than that, I had a great stay at this hostel and would probably stay again (but make sure that my arrival time is at least close to the check in time). The hostel is well situated in the heart of the city. Everything was a 10-15 minute walk. Unlike some of the reviews of the other hostels I read, the location did not feel unsafe or sketchy at all, which is extremely important to me considering I am a female that was traveling alone. The rooms were very clean! I stayed in a 6 female room and it came with 2 showers and a toilet separate from the showers. I arrived at 7 am for the continental breakfast which in my opinion was subpar. They served bread, scrambled eggs, cereals and fruits. I was rushing out to my flight so I did not get a chance to throughly scan the breakfast area, but I believe this was the bulk of what they offered. I have to say overall, I slept well!

They don't make it very clear that if you book the Grand Palace hostel (the 2nd one in their chain)…read moreyou check-in at a completely different place and the Grand Palace Hostel is NOT staffed by anyone. I had the misfortune for whatever reason to have the receptionist not give me a key when I correctly checked in at the correct hostel location. I think got to the Grand Palace location where you need a key card to get in, which I was not given. I called and then the receptionist started blaming me when I had clearly asked "is check in complete" when I was there. It was very off putting to hve a someone new to rude to me when I clearly asked if I was good to go to the other location. It was a very terrible first impression because I had to walk 15minutes with my 20lb backpack only to find out I couldn't get in. Luckily some people let me in and my roommate was there so I could put my luggage down before having to walk all the way back because they offered no other solution. Really wish my trip hadn't started off this way and the receptionist would have been more apologetic. I get it if people are difficult but I was just trying to get in and I was clearly upset. Don't take it out on a 21 yr old college student just trying their best when traveling alone by itself is hard enough. I don't know if it was because of my nationality that this happened because a girl checked in right before me perfectly fine and was given a key card but come on I'm sorry if you hate certain countries but give people a chance. When I went back to get the card it wasn't even ready so clearly she hadn't done it when I originally checked in. Overall the hostel seems okay though. Good location. Just not pleased with how I was treated.

The Good: Cheap quality hostel with a lovely communal area,…read morefree internet use, and helpful staff. Toilets, showers, and the kitchen are clean. It is close to attractions and shops, making it extremely convenient. The Bad: 1. Our dorm was situated on the fourth floor, which is essentially the attic. The ceiling was very low, making it incredibly hot. It was 25 degrees and boiling and the air conditioning did not work. We asked for the manager to take a look at the air conditioning unit, but nobody came. The window was miserably small and would not stay open. 2. Again, I am basing my review on our dorm. The top bunk of the bed was literally unusable. There is hardly any space to roll around, and the ceiling was too close to your face. Really, I was surprised they even let anyone use that space. 3. We were expecting the communal and reception areas to open longer, if not 24 hours. We returned a little past midnight with bags of kebabs to eat at the dining table, but were disappointed to find it closed. 4. Reception not manned 24 hours. There was just this sheet of A4 paper stuck to the door stating that guests would need to inform staff should they wish to check out earlier than 7:30am. A group of American youths were unlucky enough to miss the notice, and had to wait for the reception to open. Bottom line: From my experience and my experience alone, 2GO4 is a two-star establishment. I believe if we had been allocated a dorm on a different level, our stay would have been a lot more comfortable, hence more stars.

This hostel was nice, clean, and friendly and had an awesome bar/hangout area. However, I stayed in…read morean 8 bed dorm which had only a sink and the bathroom was on the other side of the building. Also, it's in an awful location. It's far from the station, the bars, the sights and everything else. Literally 25 minutes to anything central. Which, at night, isn't so fun when you're trying to read a map or find your way. Good pricing though. So, if you're okay with something not so central then it's okay, but if I'm being a tourist then I prefer something closer into the center.

The hostel is located close to the center of Brussels. But…read morethe neighboorhood is not so well. The lobby is great you have free wi-fi and there is a bar. But when you enter the room you see beds like the ones in prisons. And the beds are to short. In every floor you have got one WC for men and women and 4 showers. Breakfast is from 7.30am to 9.00am, you have got some bread, cornflakes and a little selection of juice and coffee. There is no lunch but a very undelicious dinner at 7.00pm. All in all its not recommendable to stay there! The Youth Hostel was okay. I don't like the food, but the rooms are okay. The atmosphare was good. There were a lot of different cutures and other classmates. The Youth Hostel was quit okay. I really liked the atmosphere of the Hostel when youre coming in. Its a feeling of diffrents culturs. With the reception and the bar it has a little bit the charm of a hotel, which i liked. unfortunately my room was very small, in which i stayed with 5 other classmates. But the room and the community showers were clean. The eating wasnt very good.. every evening weve got soup for starter. in this soup was a spice, i think it was coriander, which isnt the taste of all. So you can stay there, but dont book the dinner.

Situé très proche de la Grand place, donc nickel, chambre correct, mais beaucoup plus grand qu'il n'y parait de dehors, un vrai labyrinthe! La chambre est de taille moyenne, sdb, pas vraiment beaucoup de charme il est vrai mais pour la gentillesse, en francais, et le prix je le note un peu plus qu'il ne vaudrait en temps normal :) ----------- Quite a good hostel, which saved us from sleeping under the bridge when the volcan thing happened. Everywhere was full booked, and the manager accepted to give us one spare room very kindly. Not much space for 3 but it did the job, and breakfast included. Very well placed near the Grand Place it was just perfect for visiting the capital without any dark clouds above our heads. Thanks to that hostel! i give it 4 stars 1 extra for that particular situation.
