Jacques Brel Youth Hostel Reviews

Quite nice, the room is spacious and there are lots of facilities in the hostel.

Everything was cool...

The bar on the first floor is very lively, and I think it's perfect for party lovers. The rooms and bathrooms are relatively clean and comfortable. It's a shame that the shared kitchen only has one pot and no bowls or plates. The location is good, so it's easy to get to other spots.

The location is okay, there are no people in the block, and it feels safer than next to the subway station. It's less than half an hour's walk from the EU headquarters and the Manneken Pis. The staff are quite enthusiastic Facilities: There is no free secure package storage service. Packages can be stored in the basement room, but if you don't have a lock, it can only be stored with the door open, which is not safe. It costs 4 euros to buy a lock from him (I always think that hotel storage is The service should be free, but I am disappointed that this hotel does not have it). I could only wait until three o'clock to check in and take my bag to the room. Of course, there was no locked cabinet in the room😊 There are six beds, including two separate small beds. You can choose whatever you want when you arrive early. There are windows, sirens are constantly sounding, two toilets, and a bathroom. Because I stayed for two days, based on my observation, they provide bed sheets, etc., but the quilts are not changed, only the sheets are changed. If you cover yourself with a quilt directly, it is equivalent to covering yourself with a quilt that has been covered by a person. The overall experience is average. If you are not alone, you would not stay here.

I loved the Hostel, I found the environment super clean and comfortable. I intend to return!

Lots of student groups. There are no particular advantages or disadvantages.

Positives: The bed and bedding seemed clean. Decent enough location, 15 min walk from grand place and even quicker by metro. The other positive was checking out. Negatives: The hostel was very run down, smelly in certain areas, unclean, cold and felt like an abandoned construction site. My room was on the 3rd floor and there was no lift (which was no problem for someone able like myself). The stairway up felt very unsafe, dark and extremely run down. In the room, they obviously clean only the essentials, as the shower basin and the toilet were satisfactory clean, however all the skirting boards, shower curtain, and all other fixtures were filthy. The breakfast was satisfactory, enough to fill up to start the day. When arrived back one night I was hoping to have a hot drink, so asked for some hot water to use for my teabag, I was directed to the machine but was told no cups were available and I was supposed to supply my own. I'm glad I was only there a minimal amount of time just to sleep, but unfortunately I wouldn't return and wouldn't reccomend.

We had a triple room for two nights and to be fair the price was pretty low. It was clean, but pretty uncomfortable beds and definitely could do with being updated a bit. Breakfast was included but don’t expect too much! It’s close to the city centre and nearby transport, so if you’re looking for somewhere just to get your head down then it does the job.

Good quiet well located hostel. Only downside was that towels weren’t included.

When we arrive the attention and service at the reception was the worst in traveling life. The AM lady at the reception has such a TERRIBLE attitude, with a very negative and bad service. The lady in the afternoon was the opposite, very kind friendly and respectful. The guy at the bar was very good. Breakfast is bad. Please is not clean.

Lugar legal

Great location near transport and not too far from the centre. Rooms are decent but could do with a lick of paint. Some rooms are adjacent to the courtyard and it can very noisy as there is no staff present at certain hours of the night. Breakfast is OK, not enough variety and coffee machine wasn't working while we were there. Some of the female receptionists were not very friendly and were very blasé.

Standard features could have been present like iron, ice, Tv

This hotel moved me to a different hotel 36 hours before arrival and notified me via Email which is understandable not to check so often on vacation. I had already paid for Parking near the old area and picked the hotel based on its location. The new hotel was on the other side of town. No compensation was given.
