The beds are very comfortable. The room I was in had a private bathroom that was very clean. The common area was also clean and the breakfast was good (it was 5e, not included). The staff was super nice . There's also a cat , which is always wonderful.

The one complaint that I have is that it would have been nice to have utensils to serve the cheese, salami and ham. Otherwise people were touching it and I didn't like that, of course. The room didn't have many sockets for the amount of people, there are usb chargers right next to each bed but have in mind they're not USBC

The location is quite good. It's easy to reach the Old Town on foot and is ideal if you're traveling with your own bike. There's a back garden where you can store your bike or just sit and relax. Breakfast is very good priced. You can prepare your own menu with coffee, tea, cereal, different types of bread, yogurt, ham, two types of juice, etc. There are also raw eggs that you can cook to your liking. The kitchen is well-equipped in every way, with enough pans, dishes, etc. The bunk beds are fine. Each one has its own outlet and light. It's comfortable, but I've stayed in slightly better ones. That's not a complaint, just my experience. The communal area, the living open space it's well decorated and conformable. The hostel was busy but you don´t feel stressed, and you don't hear noisy either, so this is quite good. You have also 24h free access...Yes, it's a good hostel.

I find it a bit annoying having to use a classic key, not a card, to access the rooms. Each room has its own separate bathroom in the hallway. I like it a lot, but the annoying thing is that you constantly need the key to get in. It was also a bit claustrophobic due to the size and poor lighting, with only one light bulb above it. During my stay, the weather in Ghent was quite good, which meant that using the bathroom was like entering a sauna, especially if someone had showered beforehand. This is possibly my biggest complaint with the hostel.

Very good location. Great value for money. Everything was very clean and felt like new. Very friendly staff. Good beds. Good shower. We had a standard twin room, which was very roomy for hostel standards. Towels were included with the room, which was a welcome surprise since I thought we had to rent those as an extra. Overall, I would very much recommend staying here.

Just beware that you are in a hostel, which means that you can hear a lot from your neighbors. For us that was to be expected, so doesn't detract from the excellent recommendation we would give this. One minor thing: the listing says there are sockets near the beds, which was not the case in our standard twin room. There are two sockets in the room, though.

Kaba hostel was a great place to stay. It is very well connected by multiple buses to the train station. I stayed in a double room with attached bathroom. It was spacious enough, extremely clean and came with all necessary accessories like hair dryer, shampoo, towels, bed linen etc. There is also heating in the room. Window can be left open for ventilation. The neighbourhood and the hostel was quite when during our stay. The breakfast for 5euros was worth it. It felt like staying in a home. The kitchen was also neat and had all necessary aminitities. The lounge room was comfortable. There was provision to leave the luggage and go out before check-in and after check-out. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel to all.

The double room could have had a small laptop/study table.

Nice hostel, centrally located, only 15 mins walk from the main attractions and in area packed with restaurants and cafe. The rooms are big enough for six people. I was in a room with the shower and the toilet on the floor, outside of the room, but it was comfortable using it. I really liked the lounge, cozy and quiet, and the breakfast.

I advise the hostel to assign beds on arrival. They give you the blanket and the sheets and you have to do your own bed, whichever you find free in your room. However, after I made my bed, and despite the fact that I left my stuff on it to signal it was mine, on my return I found another guy sleeping on it. The jerk also threw my stuff on the floor and he didn't move when I tried to wake him up. The hostel staff was nice to give me a bed in another room, and a complimentary breakfast for an incident that was not their fault. However I think, to avoid this happening next time, bed should be assigned and people keep the same bed if they stay multiple days.

The hostel is about a 15-minute walk from Gent-Dampoort station so the location is fairly convenient

I stayed in the budget twin room. Just a heads-up: there’s no elevator, and the room is on the 3rd floor — so if you’re carrying large or heavy luggage be prepared for the stairs. The charging port is a bit far from the bed, which might be slightly inconvenient. The room has a skylight which is fine most of the time but it can get hot if the sun shines directly through it especially during peak of summer

Super good location, many small cafes near with terrific coffee and sweets, both vegan and non-vegan. The shared bedroom is spacious and clean, bunk beds are sturdy enough to not feel the movements when going up or down the higher bed, and the mattress is comfortable enough for a good sleep, the shared bathroom as well. The common area is clean, the kitchen very well equipped and provided with coffee and tea throughout the day. Staff is super nice too, including Max the cat :)

Would love to have lockers be a little bigger to fit a medium bag in it, but it was still useful for valuable things :) The bunk beds are made of metal railings so they are sturdy but getting up and down the beds is a bit noisy, you would be a bit uncomfortable if you are a light sleeper, but nothing that can't be solved with earplugs

really good location just a few minutes walk to be in the centre of Ghent. Plenty of great cafes and restaurants nearby. Staff were awesome and gave heaps of amazing recommendations. Room and bathroom facilities were very clean.

no power socket near my bed and no light on top bunk for my partner. could hear the people walking sround upstairs because of the wooden floors and the floor was also very squeaky so would wake everyone in the dorm up anytime someone left to use the bathroom of arrived back to go to bed. the door to the toilet closes extremely slowly which was annoying. very minor complaints.

-The staff are extremely friendly. Santiago told me the hostel emphasis on cleanliness and takes pride in it. I absolutely agree. -The hostel was extremely clean - Located 10mins walk from the Old Town and was very quiet at night. -A proper kitchen with pots/pans dishes, cutlery, condiments, an oven, microwave, and coffee maker. One of the best setups I've seen in a hostel. Backpackers on a budget will not be disappointed. -The shower room was immaculate and separate from the toilet. -Max(a cat) that randomly comes around for pets/cuddles was really welcoming. He does ask for them too.

Nothing worth mentioning for the price.

The service was amazing. All the staff was very helpful both prior to and during my stay. The room, bathroom and shared areas were clean. I also felt that the room was big enough for six strangers to share, without stepping on each other. The vibe of the hostel was very chill and it was cosily quiet. The neighborhood was also quiet, which was nice. The location was amazing, a short walk into the center of Gent as well as to Gent-Dampoort train station. I would definitely recommend!

The only negative thing about this hostel was that the doors and locks were very loud, no matter how softly you tried to close and lock them. Overall, I had a lovely experience staying here!
