Auberge de jeunesse Bruegel

Late review ( from last year )||The hostel is at a decent location, walkable from city square and station. |We had booked a private triple room, it had a private shower but shared toilet. The private room and bathroom was clean. We were given washed linen to put on the bed and washed comforters to use. The towels were available to rent.|The common room in the lounge was nicely decorated and had a lively atmosphere. |The common toilet was kind of clean but depended on the people using it so not sure how frequently it is cleaned on a given day.

Lovely hostel. Staff were great, the spaces are clean, tidy and generally well maintained. Breakfast does the job. An easy recommend at this price point. Loses a star for having few working mens showers and all the loud people outside during the night when the window needed to be open as it was so warm.

Great stay - small tidy rooms - shower in the rooms and a basin - great free luggage storage facility before and after stay. Lovely lounge areas on all levels and a great outside area!! Breakfast rocks & It was free & healthy / thank you 😀😀

WARNING!!! If you're traveling in the summer, there's no air conditioning and not enough fans for everyone. It was unbearable! I was in tears nightly. I would NOT recommend staying in the summer months. Free breakfast is lovely which is why it has 2 stars. I'm dreading my last night tonight 😭

We stayed for one night in a 4 bed family room and were very happy with our choice. Friendly staff, central yet quiet location, very good breakfast. A kettle in the shared room is available all day long.

It was a last minute booking due to Belgium's train strike, so wasn't planned. It was enough for us, clean, very spacious room. The breakfast included was sufficient with cereals, yogurt, vegetables, bread, coffee, tea, cheese and ham. The room temperature was good, great shower pressure, and bathroom had shampoo, hand and body soap. The hostel has common areas that offer books for reading, quiet spaces and playing areas. The staff isn't friendly but weren't harsh either. You have to make your own bed, the bedsheets are folded in the room. The towels aren't included and have to pay for them. When checking out you have to remove the sheets from the bed and take them downstairs. The building is outdated and might use renovation, specifically the rooms, the bathroom floor was open/broken.

Hostal Brugal was the second hostel I stayed at during my 24-day Europe trip, and it exceeded my expectations. The location is very convenient—just a 2-minute walk from the bus halt. Rooms are super clean, and each has its own bathroom, while toilets are shared per floor but kept tidy. One big plus is the elevator access to upper floors, so there’s no hassle with carrying luggage. The buffet breakfast is amazing with tasty, satisfying options. Overall, it's great value for money. Highly recommended for a comfortable and convenient stay in Brussels.

Booked a double room (bunk bed) with private shower, for 84€/night including breakfast for 2 people. Even though the hostel is 10 min walk from city center, I don't feel the price is reasonable for a hostel, especially considering: - You prepare your bed yourself and bring down the sheets when checking out - Towels have to be rented for additional 1.5€. Ok but at least provide a floor towel or mat in the showers. - No trash can in the room - Window doesn't close properly, causing draft and you can hear the noise from people on the street outside (well into the night). However, some positives: + Breakfast was okay + Luggage room provided free of cost before check-in and remaining day after check-out - Nice common areas with sofas

I'm staying here for a couple of days and is great! It has been renovated and everything is new and clean. Rooms are big and beds comfortable. Staff is very friendly. Breaks fast is included!! Totally recommend it!

Great YHA Hostel in the centre of Brussels. Rooms are clean, basic - but ensuite, and cheap. A big downer is the 0100 curfew - I don't know how literally they enforce it, because I didn't test it out, but. walk in at 0100 and there is a banging nightclub in the hostel! So it's not all bad at all cheap leffe, and the DJ does requests. What more could you want?!

My experience of this hostel good and I was very pleased with my stay. It was clean and basic, no problem, since I don't stay in youth hostels because I want to imagine that I'm at the Ritz. The staff was very help full...if you want to stay out after 1am the staff can arrange for you to do it...why you might want to spent time in a disco located in a youth hostel, any youth hostel, in a major European city is beyond me...but you can if you want to. I was disapoint in the lack of a real common room, apparently the disco is a substitiue for that...that's why it got only four stars. Also I do not recomend having supper at the hostel especially if you are a vegetarian -- then again there are so many resturants in the general area you can easily find a much better meal at one of them

You don't expect any luxury when you stay in a youth hostel. But what we did hope for were a clean room. Our room was tiny and rather dirty (did they even care to use a broom for the floor?) and the en-suite shower (no toilet in the room) was disgusting. Thank got we only stayed one night. The breakfast, which was included, consisted exclusively of toast and jam and some cheap Nutella replacement. Cereals and milk had been there but were out when we arrived at about 8.30.
