a little weird but nice place. They make you wait untill 3 p.m. to check in. Check out is at 12 a.m. Prepare yourself for meeting people from all over the globe. I stayed for three days and met people from Canada, US, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, France, UK, Mexico. Rooms are pretty spacious and not too... more

We stayed here for two nights and found it to be a well run hostel and a good value. Positives: The 4 bed room we stayed in was clean and the bathroom was so-so but clean and functioning. Very fair for the cheap room rates. The bar was great for socializing and meeting other residents. Beers were very fairly priced... more

This hostel, situated twenty minutes walking form Gran Place, is very basic and the breakfast poor, but enough for sleeping and not paying a lot of money. more

My brother and I stayed at this hostel for one night. It is conveniently located for public transit, but it's in a business area, which is dead at night.

But i can assure you that apart from being quite cheap, our room... more

Just a month before, I got to know that I had an interview in Brussels - with the few money I had available it was impossible to go for an interview in Brussels and stay in a hotel so I looked for a youth hostel. Gave a look to all the youth hostels in Brussels and thought maybe Jacque Brel... more

The hostels that were more central were booked so we went to Jacques Brel. Got an en-suite room for 2. It's maybe 15 min. walking distance to central Brussels. Very clean and bright large room. Bathroom had a sewer smell so we had to keep door tightly closed. The included breakfast was substancial and good. We are not hostel members... more

Well I just arrived in Brussels for a week and had to find a youth hostel to fill my needs. Well this is the best one i think money can find. I cannot speak for the dorm rooms but the rooms shared by two people are a good size and always kept clean. The only problem can be the bathroom,... more
