    I recently stayed at this hostel in Brussels for a few nights and had a great experience. The twin room I stayed in was ensuite and extremely comfortable. It was clean and had all the necessary amenities, including liquid soap in the bathroom. I appreciated having a table in the room, which made it convenient to enjoy meals from the kitchen. The staff were polite and helpful, and the location was convenient, with landmarks and public transportation nearby. The breakfast was also satisfying, and the hostel even arranged free tours on Mondays. I highly recommend this hostel for a pleasant stay.

    Can recommend this hostel.

    The room had a big bathroom with complimentary liquid soap and shower gel, which was a nice touch.

    During our stay, we had a minor inconvenience with the check-in time not aligning with our schedule. However, the friendly receptionist quickly resolved the issue and allowed us to check-in earlier, ensuring a smooth start to our stay.

    During our stay at Jacques Brel Youth, we were impressed by the delicious and varied breakfast options they offered. Starting our day with a hearty meal gave us the energy to explore the city. Additionally, we appreciated the convenience of having a bathroom with a shower in our dormitory room, providing us with privacy and comfort.

    Although there were a few minor drawbacks such as limited sockets and small lockers, these did not significantly impact our overall experience. The central location of the hostel allowed us to easily access the city center and the friendly social atmosphere provided ample opportunities to meet fellow travelers.

    the staff at Jacques Brel Youth were friendly and spoke multiple languages. the top floor room had a nice view and included bedsheets. There was also a bar in the hostel, which was open in the evenings. the breakfast options were great, with a variety of sweet and savory choices, including fresh fruit. it was a wonderful experience meeting people from different cultures and countries. Cons: Nothing, it was perfect! 😊.
