the location didn’t seem as safe as the rest of the city, there are constructions in the area so most stores are closed.

I recently stayed at Brxxl 5 City Centre Hostel with a group of 5 friends for 2 nights. The private room we had was small, but it was nicely organized and clean. The bathroom seemed new and well-maintained. The hostel provided all the necessary amenities, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for exploring the city center, though the area around the hostel required some caution, especially late at night. On the upside, the hostel was well-connected with public transport, making it easy to get around the city.

Unfortunately, the WiFi in the rooms at Brxxl 5 City Centre Hostel was not reliable, although it worked well in the main area. Safety was a concern at night when returning from the city center, as there were attempts of pickpocketing on our group. Moreover, the limited selection of nearby restaurants was disappointing, as we had to walk at least 10 minutes to reach the city center for better dining options.

The price was very good for four persons in the room, only €28 almost in the heart of Brussels. The zuid midi station is very near 15 minutes walking max and this station is important for traveling to other cities as Gent, Bruges or Antwerp or Amsterdam. Very hot water 24hrs. It is quiet during night. There is elevator for all the floors and the check in is till late midnight and beyond till 00:30. There is reception 24 hrs and you can keep your luggage 🧳 for free.

It could more clean. The garden needs cleaning.

This is a perfect wee hostel! It’s by no means a hotel, which I think the other reviewers are forgetting… it’s clean, modern and the beds were very comfortable. The receptionist checking us in was very friendly too. My partner and I had a private room with a private bathrooom. There was little to no noise, the shower was clean and had excellent water pressure/temperature. The WiFi was a bit patchy the first night but they had someone fix it the next day (we didn’t say anything, it doesn’t bother us at all) and it was fine from then. It’s a good walking distance to the centre with all the bars, restaurants and museums. The room was perfect for what we needed!

Nothing really!

Loved how friendly the staff were, and just the hostel building itself. Was welcoming and the room was nice.

The street that the hostel is on is pretty rough particularly at night time. I had a phone stolen and my roommate had his watch stolen. Not the hostels fault obviously but something to be wary of when booking. Also the WiFi was perfectly fine when on the ground floor but didn't work well at all from my room.

I liked the location, helpful front desk people, the room was pretty good and definitely a great value for the money. I recommend it and 100% will use it again. The heating inside of the bathroom was great and practical.

The people. Ladies, clean the toilet after you use it!!! Read and follow the rules!!! I don't care what time you show up, - 12am is the time for silence and respect for those sleeping! The room was too hot to sleep at night. I wish there was a way to manually regulate the temperature. Also, it would be great to have a different locker under the bed - the ones they have in the room I stayed are not very practical, the doors unnecessarily heavy. A little shelf inside of the bathroom to put the cosmetics would be ideal.

The location is excelent. Close to some tourist places, restaurants and the metro. If you need save your bags, the provide you one safe space for that.

I think the room was a bit dark.

Incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable staff on arrival, nearby local supermarkets which caters to Brazilian/Latin American produce, to plenty Carrefour Branches both within the two train stations: Midi Zuid and Gare Centrale, fresh fruit and grocery store, plenty of Mediterranean bakeries/cuisines; convenience stores. There are numerous coaches via the coach stops nearby train stations take you to both airports in Brussels City, which is a godsend and affordable especially with a return ticket purchased from the airport on the arrival day. Plenty to view and do, just need to do extend your stay in the city :) p.s. hostel has a seating area to relax, and the vending machines with other facilities available on request From Sara

Nothing there were no issues, everything was splendid

Beds clean and comfy. Tea and coffee facilities available. Bathroom clean and easy to use. 24 hour check-in was a great help as we didn't get to the hostel until 11pm.

Room was quite warm when we arrived but opening the window fixed that quite quickly. Like a lot of hostels there's no AC in the room so be advised if you prefer a cooler room to sleep in to bear this in mind. Also, nothing the hostel can do about this but the construction going on at the moment for the new metro system makes it quite awkward to walk from Brussels Midi/Zuid station, taxi may be advisable on safety grounds.
