This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Not only is it in a central location with easy access to the University and other points of interest, they have some nice facilities. Obviously the building itself is part of the equation. Mad sleeping somewhere older than my country. A thanks to Brian and his afternoon shift colleague. You were amazing hosts.

No me gustó que tienen un sistema de llave online, que te la mandan por mail, hasta para bañarte e ir al baño necesitas llevar el celular, para abrir las puertas necesitas el telefono.

Séjour marathon

De passage pour faire le marathon de Gand, le personnel fut à l’écoute, accueillant et n’a pas hésiter à m’apporter des solutions à mes problèmes. Système de clés électronique efficace avec possibilité de laisser mon sac à la bagagerie. Top. J’étais dans une chambre de 16 c’était très calme j’ai pu dormir sans soucis. Tout était nickel.
