Jacques Brel Hostel recensioner

Overall, the stay was not too bad. If not for some inconveniences, I would have rated this hostel better. First, the nearest Metro exit was under renovation. As a result, I need to detour quite a fair bit to get into the Metro station. It is ok without luggage, but with luggage, it is much more challenging with cobblestone road. Second, this is the first hostel which I paid for twin room and was not provided with towel. While my app stated that the towel is included, the receptionist told me that I need to pay to rent the towel. A bit disappointed. Thankfully, I have my own beach towel.

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

Everything was cool...

レセプションは24時間は開いていないようですが、夜遅く到着しても併設のバーでチェックインできます。ドミトリーのベッドには番号がないので、自分で空いているところを見つけて使う方式でした。ベッドは問題ありませんでした。しかし荷物入れが、1つは壊れていて引き出せず、もう1つは部屋の構造上、どうやっても引き出すことできない場所に置かれていて、2人とも使えませんでした。受付で部屋を変更できないか尋ねましたが満室だと言われ、1日目の夜は地下の荷物室を使わせてもらいました。2日目は同室で1人だけチェックアウトしたので、1つの荷物入れに2人分の荷物を入れました。私が泊まった31番の部屋は、満室だと1人は荷物入れを使えない構造になっているため、気を付けて下さい!

1階のBARはかなり賑わっていて パーティ好きはたまらないと思う 部屋や水周りも比較的清潔で居心地は良かった 共用キッチンは鍋が1つしかなくボウル皿が無かったのが残念 ロケーションは良いので他のスポットにアクセスしやすい

前台晚上8點消失了，在大堂等了一個小時才能checkin。其他各項設施都很好，有行李寄存，房間和浴室乾淨整潔，很舒適的入住。

位置還好吧，街區都沒什麼人，感覺比在地鐵站火車站旁邊安全一些，距離歐盟總部以及尿尿小童走路都不到半小時。 工作人員還算熱情 設施方面：沒有免費的安全包裹寄存服務，包裹可以放在地下室的房間，但你沒有鎖的話衹能相當於開着門寄存，不安全，在他這邊買鎖四歐（我總認為酒店寄存服務應該是免費的，但很失望這家酒店沒有），我衹能等到三點checkin，把包拿到房間裏，當然，房間裏也沒有帶鎖的櫃子😊 六張床，有兩張單獨的小床，你去的早可以自己隨便選，有窗户，警笛聲絡繹不絕，兩個廁所，一個洗浴間。 因為我住了兩天，以我的觀察，他們提供床單等，但被子是沒給換的，衹換床單，如果你直接蓋被子，相當於蓋上一個人蓋過的被子。 總體體驗一般，如果不是一個人應該不會住這

Amei o convívio

房間還行，這個價位租到乾淨衞生的房子很不錯

Adorei o Hostel, achei o ambiente super limpo e confortável. Pretendo voltar!

학생 단체 많음. 딱히 장점도 단점도 없다.

I don’t recommend this hostel because of its lack of security. I stayed in a private room just for three people, which was what my two friends and I needed, and someone of the staff enter to the room and stole my professional camera. The hostel has ads where they state that all cleaning must be done by ourselves and if we requiere something in the room, we must ask at the reception. Therefore, we leave all of our properties in the room once we leave the hostel for the day. The day we were packing for check out we notice the camera was missing, we informed immediately to the receptionist but they just answered that because of the weekend they can’t look the video footage and there’s is no one like a manager to talked with. This happened the 26th of January 2025, we were asked to write an email to the hostel telling what happened but we haven’t received any response.

Arrived for check in and there was no front desk person in sight for at least 10 minutes. I should have known the rest of the stay would follow suit! The pictures of this place must be extremely old, because it looks much more run-down than this in person. The 4th floor foyer looked like it hadn't seen a mop anytime recently. It even had some weird pipes sticking out of the floor in the hall by the elevator. We had a private room on that floor. The window frame paint in our room was peeling and the furnishings have seen better days, but it's a hostel, so I wasn't too worried about any of this. However when I woke in the middle of the night itching to bed bug bites, that was too much for me. The front desk was supposed to reopen at 8am and at that time we were in the lobby waiting. However, by 8:30am still no front desk person had showed up so we packed our things and got another hotel. (Motel One, a few blocks over- super fabulous!) I sent a message to Jacques Brel through Booking dot com, and eventually he got back to me and said they would "look into it." A few days later he said other people had stayed in the room with no reported bites so they wouldn't refund all my unused nights, only the one night they were required to due to my refundable booking. (I feel so bad for those other people staying in that room that might not know they are taking bugs home!) I've backpacked all over Europe for years and have been bitten by bed bugs a few times- it happens. But I don't particularly enjoy being called a liar, or being lied to about the condition of a property I've paid to stay in. Not everyone reacts to their bites but no one wants to take them home - this property needs to be honest when a room has issues. And for full disclosure, this was the first place we stayed on our Belgium/Luxembourg trip so we didn't bring the bugs with us- they were definitely living at Jacques Brel!

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.
