One of the best hostels I ever stayed in: beds were comfortable, room size was sufficient not to feel cramped, big lockers, the showers were clean and well equipped, nice breakfast (vegetarian&vegan friendly) included in the price, fully-equipped shared kitchen... And quiet at night! The vibe of the hostel is clearly present and the staff is helpful (they even took the time to give us a tour of the hostel at check-in). Also, the sustainable engagement goes a bit farther than just "save water/electricity" signs: compost bin & organic food at breakfast, environment-friendly soap...

The city is quite large and contains lot's of crossings, however there is a connection directly from the Train station (bus station near the train station), therefore it is manageable. Should you wish to take the train into the city, there is a stop not far from the hotel and you can get a shared city card for certain number of travels. Breakfast is the standard one with toasts, tea/coffee, therefore I would not call it rich, but is good to consider to start the day. In the city there are options to eat the breakfast for sure, however most points of sale focus on chocolate, waffles and sweets in general. At the reception you can get the city map that helps a lot to move around the city, which is another positive of this place.

The place was kept clean and the staff were friendly. The breakfast for €5 is a steal and the bed was comfortable. It's also walkable from the nearest train station.

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.
