Unfortunately the timing of my visit was during a kind of heat wave. Being a nice old building, there was no AC, which is understandable. My room had a floor fan, but with six people... I really couldn't sleep because of the heat, which is totally out of the hostel's control. We opened the windows, but then had to contend with mosquitos. Being in the bathroom or shower, there was also really no airflow so. Yeah, just down to timing really!

The staff here were really nice, and the hostel itself was cozy. Everything was clean and comfortable. The location was nice because it wasn't a very far walk from the hustle and bustle, but it was much quieter over here. Around the corner at the City Park Hotel, you can buy a Ghent City Card which I recommend if you're planning to go on the canal boats, use public transport, and go to some museums. Bring your own lock if you want to use a locker!

A good communication with the owner, very clear instructions. Our room, a bathroom, a kitchen with sitting area was clean and comfortable. We also could use a patio. We really liked this place.

Beds, maybe.

When in Ghent I always stay here. Excellent location, very social atmosphere and an added bonus of the adorable house kitty Max. They serve a very good breakfast for only 5 euros.

The one complaint that I have is that it would have been nice to have utensils to serve the cheese, salami and ham. Otherwise people were touching it and I didn't like that, of course. The room didn't have many sockets for the amount of people, there are usb chargers right next to each bed but have in mind they're not USBC

The beds are very comfortable. The room I was in had a private bathroom that was very clean. The common area was also clean and the breakfast was good (it was 5e, not included). The staff was super nice . There's also a cat , which is always wonderful.

Kitchen was good, buffet breakfast for £5 euro was lovely, great coffee machine. Had a nice vibe and my kind if decor. Perfect for a few nights to explore Ghent and Bruges

No lift to go to third floor.

Basic hostel but bed is confy and services are ok. Good breakfast. 10-15 minutes walking distance from grote markt. Good value for money.

The room was a bit stuffy, but that was because of the summer heat

Friendly staff, breakfast was a good value

Room is small, AC wasn't working and the weather was hot also the price was a little bit high 46 Euros per person per night

The place is clean, hostel location is good and the staff was nice.

The location is good but you have to go around 15 minutes to the city centre.

The rooms are clean and shared bathroom is fine but there was no working socket next to my bed. The staff is really nice and helpful, the breakfast costs only 5 euros and that's the best what you can get for this money.

The bathroom was very humid and hot, but not too bad.

Friendly staff, very well kitted out kitchen.

I stayed in the budget twin room. Just a heads-up: there’s no elevator, and the room is on the 3rd floor — so if you’re carrying large or heavy luggage be prepared for the stairs. The charging port is a bit far from the bed, which might be slightly inconvenient. The room has a skylight which is fine most of the time but it can get hot if the sun shines directly through it especially during peak of summer

The hostel is about a 15-minute walk from Gent-Dampoort station so the location is fairly convenient

I hate hostels but this one is very very good. New sheets, all the pillows, everything was fine. And a breakfast for 5 euros — brilliant!

Stayed in July 2025

I hate Hostels, but this is a very good place. Perfect for low budget stays, clean, beautiful, very comfortable. Breakfast for 5 eur? Don’t know where else i can find one. The bed sheets are cool, very clean, everything is made with care and professionalism, Stayed for the second time, definetly would recommend

The beds were a little uncomfortable and there was not much place in the room to put belongings (tiny lockers only).

The hostel staff were very friendly and helpful.

I find it a bit annoying having to use a classic key, not a card, to access the rooms. Each room has its own separate bathroom in the hallway. I like it a lot, but the annoying thing is that you constantly need the key to get in. It was also a bit claustrophobic due to the size and poor lighting, with only one light bulb above it. During my stay, the weather in Ghent was quite good, which meant that using the bathroom was like entering a sauna, especially if someone had showered beforehand. This is possibly my biggest complaint with the hostel.

The location is quite good. It's easy to reach the Old Town on foot and is ideal if you're traveling with your own bike. There's a back garden where you can store your bike or just sit and relax. Breakfast is very good priced. You can prepare your own menu with coffee, tea, cereal, different types of bread, yogurt, ham, two types of juice, etc. There are also raw eggs that you can cook to your liking. The kitchen is well-equipped in every way, with enough pans, dishes, etc. The bunk beds are fine. Each one has its own outlet and light. It's comfortable, but I've stayed in slightly better ones. That's not a complaint, just my experience. The communal area, the living open space it's well decorated and conformable. The hostel was busy but you don´t feel stressed, and you don't hear noisy either, so this is quite good. You have also 24h free access...Yes, it's a good hostel.

Very good location, quiet area but central. Nice spacious rooms and amazing breakfast. Would be nice for the toilets to be a bit bigger.

Dorms were very hot overnight although it was a heatwave but managed to source a fan so the second night was much better

Great location and facilities

Nothing

Historical building, artistic but modern restoration. Cozy rooms and shared spaces. Something like a home.
