I liked everything. The staff were really friendly and made me feel very welcome. My mini caravan was really comfortable with plenty of storage space. Breakfast was really nice and I loved the layout of the caravan section and the outdoor seating area. I can't speak for the dorms, but my area was quiet. The bar shuts at 10 pm, and then it's quiet in general. I would definitely return.

I like the possibility of getting an only ladies room. You also don't have to rent a sheets, it's included. You can rent a towel if you need. My room was for 5 person, and a toilet with a shower were in the room, not on the floor, which is very convenient. It's only 5 minutes walking from the centre, i like it very much.

amazing location of the hostel in the middle of the historical place. The equipment was wonderful, the social place was aesthetic and always full of people. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment. Beautiful view from the window. Beds comfortable. There is an extra charge for towels. If you want to use the locker, bring your own lock.

The buffet breakfast is the best! There’s no better way to start the day than with a good breakfast and they have very good options. The place has a cozy living and dining room that invites you to stay there.

All hostels in Ghent

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.
