Awesome experience. I checked-in in the worst time possible: 24th of December at night. Not only the staff was reassuring in the process, they made the check-in as comfortable and quick as possible. The rooms have a lot of space, the hostel is well-located, they have really nice locker which are free to use, the breakfast is really good, they let you use the common area after check-out and the staff is really friendly.

The best hotel I've ever stayed at. :) You can't find a better location in Ghent. A great view from the window (onto a canal and the historic center of the city). Veeery nice guys at the reception. Polite, considerate, willing to make your stay as enjoyable as it can be. A pretty convenient system with digital keys. No worries, though, if your wifi isn't stable: you'll be given a card key. A very beautiful building of the 13th century with a wooden squeaking staircase, a well-equipped kitchen and a very atmospheric and cozy lounge area. Nice lockers, comfortable showers and restrooms. 3 free guided city tours a day, start from the entrance of the hostel. Highly recommend. :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

There is one clothes washer €5 as well as one clothes dryer €2 per load, of which the price is fairly reasonable. The hostel provided me with a lower-bunk bed as requested.

Everything was typically a youth hostel. The staff were very helpful. It's in the old town, so the attractions are easy walking distance. The staff told us about a free English speaking walking tour, that we could go on, and so we did, and it was great.

The staff are friendly, the shared space room is very cosy and you can get free delicious coffee and chat with strangers. The rooms are nice, and exceeded our expectations copared to what we paid. Bonus: the hostel is a 15mins walk from the center. Overall I liked everything and I would recommend it for a few days budget friendly stay.
