Reviews of KaBa Hostel

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!

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 room, private bathroom and shower for the room, the position, common areas and the little garden

Bathrooms and facilities were clean and tidy

Small mirrors in bathroom

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.

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.

Beds, maybe.

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.

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

Quaint beautiful space, nice locality, could walk down and move around town, nice room with a skylight was a dreamy touch

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

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

No lift to go to third floor.

Friendly staff, breakfast was a good value

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

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

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

Friendly staff, very well kitted out kitchen.

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

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

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
