Youth Hostel Van Gogh (Chab)

Overall:

"This place is okay, but i would not recommend staying here for 3 reasons; The lockout is very inconvenient - from 10 til 2 you have to remove all your luggage from your room and put it in the locker room downstairs (why they dont just put lockers in the bedrooms is beyond me." — source Hostelworld

"I stayed here twice and would recommend paying a little extra to get a room in the main building cuz the cheapest rooms were in shedlike buildings in the courtyard." — source Hostelworld

"The bathrooms were a little dirty and it was annoying that the showers were down through the main area, but overall it was a fun, clean place to stay." — source Hostelworld

"I was only there for a brief night, but the staff was great, especially behind the bar, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing, chilled out." — source Hostelworld

"Overall I\'d recommend this hostel since I think we were just unlucky about the smell etc, other rooms were prob fine." — source Hostelworld

Clean:

"Hostel floor was dusty, no shower curtains so your belongings get wet while showering, toilets were not cleaned regularly, door of our room did not lock properly, breakfast ends to early, lock out period not necessary as our rooms were not cleaned." — source Hostelworld

"You get a false sense of what it really is because the reception is very nice and clean but i ended up in a room at a location across the road where there was really uneven stairs and the general feel was dirty." — source Hostelworld

"The sheets had stains (although they looked they have been cleaned), we stayed in the other building and is still under construction, lots of dust, some parts falling apart." — source Hostelworld

"it's not particularly clean and they charge an extortionate amount for internet but the location is quite good and within walking distance of the centre." — source Hostelworld

"The hostel was kept fairly clean, and although the area seemed dodgy (didn\'t know Brussels had a red-light district but we found it just down the road." — source Hostelworld

Service:

"Really dirty kitchen, but friendly helpful staff and decent location." — source Hostelworld

"Very clean, super helpful staff, would definitely stay here again." — source Hostelworld

"Clean, friendly staff, decent location, cheap, and free breakfast." — source Hostelworld

"Clean rooms and friendly staff and a fairly central location." — source Hostelworld

"Very good value and very helpful staff." — source Hostelworld

Location:

"I liked this hostel, the bar was cheap and good, the kitchen was good (though it needed more utensils) The location was abit out of the city centre, but there is a metro station really close." — source Hostelworld

"A decent hostel and, though far from downtown, is within walking distance. Bar and lounge area was okay, rooms could use some work--especially the old door locks." — source Hostelworld

"The lobby and common area to the hostel were very nice but we were put in a room across the street which looked like a tip, there was broken concrete and rubble around the entrance." — source Hostelworld

"The area is quite far from the city center and not safe for women at night as many guys were hanging around outside making suggestive and rude remarks." — source Hostelworld

"The location was very good because it was very close to the gare du nord and very easy to go to the gare midi. The social area is great." — source Hostelworld

"There are plenty of little "inconveniences"--shaky bunk ladders, expensive internet, thin walls--but if you go with the flow they pale compared to the atmosphere of the place (and the price)." — source Hostelworld

"Thankfully only stayed for one night, but in general a hugely overpriced hostel, based on the other amazing hostels around Europe that are about half the price." — source Hostelworld

"the staff is careless about your problems, but the kitchen is ok and the bar also not the best place to have fun, but for the price you pay it's ok." — source Hostelworld

"I�m glad that I was only spending two nights, and feel sorry for anyone who would have to deal with that for 3 or 4." — source Hostelworld

"The reception and bar area where nicely done, the rooms plain but for the price everything was excellent." — source Hostelworld
