Generation Europe Youth Hostel

You get what you pay for. We had a very warm reception and got a free upgrade from the economy room (bunk beds) to a twin room. The beds were very comfortable. Free maps given at reception and they are happy to answer any questions. You can also store your luggage if you wish, but we didn't given the distance from the centre and we didn't have much luggage. Facilities - towels were provided in our room. You have to put your own bed sheets on and take them off at check out. There were soap dispensers at sink and shower. You can borrow board games at reception if you give id/a deposit which is returned - we liked this. Room very basic (no tv etc) but more than adequate. We stayed during a very cold period but there was a radiator in our room which kept us more than warm enough. If staying during very hot periods, there was a fan in the room but might be a bit stuffy? Location - it is a 20 min walk from the centre which didn't bother us, but the neighbourhood where the hostel is situated might not be the best to be alone at night. Breakfast - breakfast was basic, but good. Buffet continental style - bread, cheese, cold meats, fruit, lots of jams and spreads, yoghurt, boiled eggs, orange juice, tea/coffee machine. The breakfast room closes at 9.30 so you need to be out by then. You bring your own dishes up and stack them in racks.

Nice (but very cold) breakfast. It would be nice to have a microwave there, but overall I liked everything. They even had tiny St. Nicolas Day gifts for everyone:3 The location is okay since the city is not very big. So you can calmly walk 30 minutes to be in the historical center. The room and the beds were very clean.

The hostel is okay, the common area has a pool table and a bunch of games you can play (you must leave a deposit to use it - it will be returned after) The kitchen is clean and it has all the utensils and equipment you need for basic cooking. The cleaning staff, will clean your bathroom everyday but you don’t have the option to ask for not cleaning, they will come in even if you’re in the room.

A Great Stay at Generation Europe Youth Hostel! I had a wonderful 2-night stay at Generation Europe Youth Hostel in Brussels from Nov 25 to Nov 27. The experience was fantastic overall! Breakfast: While the stay was enjoyable, the breakfast was a bit disappointing. The options were very limited, and the fruits, like bananas, were served in half-cut portions, which felt unusual and unappealing. Room: The room was spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained. The beds were cozy, and I appreciated the thoughtful touches like reading lights and USB charging ports. Cleanliness: The entire hostel, including the common areas and bathrooms, was spotless. The staff clearly put a lot of effort into keeping everything clean and welcoming. The hostel also had a great atmosphere, with friendly staff and a lively common area where I met fellow travelers. Its convenient location made it easy to explore the city. Despite the breakfast, I would definitely stay here again!

The hostel building has a beautiful architecture. The garden and its surroundings are very peaceful and green. Breakfast was varied and sufficient. However, some varieties run out quickly, so I recommend going for breakfast early. Room facilities were sufficient. Having the shower, toilet and sink separate from each other in the room is very useful for different people to use at the same time.The hostel's social area is very useful and provides many opportunities. I was impressed that there was even a guitar to play on. The employees are very helpful and friendly. At the entrance there is a fountain with potable water. I was very happy that they helped you pour water without any hesitation. Price performance is great!
