Rooms are fine but very warm in the summer and it is very loud with traffic and people in restaurants outside so you have to sleep with windows closed.

Staff were nice and the beds were comfortable, however the bathroom was a bit cramped and constantly dirty.
Great location. Staff at front desk were a little rude. And the bathroom in the room has clogged shower drain.

The location is good. Because it is so close to the road and restaurant it is very noisy. I would suggest providing some facilities in the kitchen such as a stove and fridge to help people cook.

Easy check in, kind people at the desk. No lift so had to climb 4 floors with luggage but not impossible. Good value for money. Good place to sleep , beds comfortable and clean. Towels provided. Nice toilet and shower, clean and soap provided. No air con. Loud area on the streets a lot of men just lurking about so a bit on edge especially if travelling solo. But overall happy that we stayed here. Close to station and city center. No proper kitchen but free tea and kettle downstairs .
Booked this hostel as it was close distance to Brussels South train station. My hostel room faced the streeet and it was quite loud outside late into the night. There are bars/resturants that attract a lot of people and noise.

Degraded area not far from Midi station
The property is in quite a degraded area of the city, but fair price and close to Midi railway station. The room was small and cramped but functional.
The staff was kind enough at check in and held our luggage for us during check out. The hotel fit all of our needs.
I would say that the hostel has very steep and narrow stairs. Difficult to manouver up to/from the 4th floor where we stayed, especially with luggage and kids.
Private Room didn’t have hot water for showers,
Room was tiny and had to climb over the bed to hang up a jacket.
Extremely noisy from the hallway.
Ended up having to move after a night, could be okay for a night. But wasn’t for us.
On this occasion (the second of two stays in ten days), we were allocated a room at the top of the first flight of stairs. It might best be described as awkward, at worst a death trap. There were two steps down into the room immediately upon opening the door, and could easily have fallen while finding the light switch.
The manager was so rude from the beginning when they ask me for mi ID. The room looks nice but then when you start to move stuff or use something you can notice is dirty and they have bed bugs everywhere

Our family of four stayed one night in this very basic accommodation. Towels only available at extra cost and luggage has to be carried up and down steep, narrow stairs. Not a huge deal for us but could be difficult for some. The room was clean but we needed the windows open for ventilation and cooling. The street outside is extremely noisy with traffic, emergency vehicles and patrons of nearby street patios, making it quite challenging to sleep well. Least favourite accommodation of our three-week trip,
Would be 5 stars except my phone was attacked 4 times over the network. Each attack required a hard reset to unlock the phone again. This is a network issue with their network. Stay in airplane mode while at the hostel. If the attack had succeeded I would have lost my phone and bank accounts.
Very unsafe area crowds of people hanging around outside hostel @ 3am. No locks in room at all despite having a door leading onto street with no lock. Would not return! Stayed in hostel for 1 and a half hours before needing to leave as could not live in these conditions. Only good point was receptionist was lovely.
