HOSTEL 47

Very great hostel! I had an amazing time with my friends. Most of the staff is very friendly and made our stay/breakfast amazing. Also the rooms are pretty big and sanitary. Enough space and privacy in the showers

My wife, sister-in-law and I stayed here in October 2014 and had a wonderful time. Ghent is a lovely city full of life and atmosphere. Hostel 47 is a great choice of place to stay. It was very comfortable, clean and well organized; close to the historical town centre, easy public transport. The host is extremely friendly and helpful. We intend to visit again when get another chance. Thanks for such a warm welcome!

Lovely interior - a little bit modern, a little bit minimal, a little bit feeling of an old Flemish house. But, most importantly, the owner! Naturally friendly, nice to talk to. There is everything a nice hostel needs to have.

This is the first time that i'm in a hostel. We booked a privet room for 2 people and it was not cheap, you could also stay at a cheap hotel for the money. The rooms, shared bathroom and toilets where clean. The shared kitchen was ok, but the egg boiler and toaster where dirty. Pros: relaxed atmosphere, cook your own food, have talk to other people and has a garden where you can BBQ. Cons: expensive, make you own bed, kitchen could be cleaner. Overall good experience and would do it again.

Amazing hostel! Modern interior, very clean, free kitchen to use anytime, awesome breakfast included, good location near the train station (Dampoort) and a very friendly staff make this hostel one of the best I've ever been in Europe. CERTAINLY RECOMMENDED!

This Hostel is very comfortable. Host is very friendly. He show some place in the neighborhood and provide maps. Breakfast is included. Options include: bread, egg, cheese, yogurt, cereal, milk, juice, tee, coffee. But there are many mosquitos in the room.

I had a great stay here in my last days of Ghent. The place has a wide lobby, accessible kitchen even at late night, clean toilets and bathrooms every day and comfortable beds compared to a regular hostel. Korenmarkt (and any other places around the city center) is only a walking distance away. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful, there’s even a canal connecting to Leie (Lys) River right next to it. Prices were pretty reasonable (27€ per night but something could be arranged for longer stays). Lastly, the hosts were so friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The feeling of coziness was what made my experience here unique. Hostel 47 is the closest place to home if you’re on a budget and looking for a peaceful night here in Ghent.

Great ambiance, very clean and so close to the city center. Heads up, bring cash to pay your room. There is no parking place inside the building area but you can park in the surrounding. Ticket price for 24h is €6 (better to do that) it wasn't easy to find a empty place but with luck you will make it. This hostel is by large the best option because is really near by the city center, so quiet and has this vibe from an old luxe house. Starcase is all made in wood but the rest of the hostel has a touch of modern hand. If you wanna go to Gent, give it a try in this hostel.

I immediately noticed a disgusting smell coming from the cellar. The room also smelled bad. I felt ill after half an hour and went elsewhere. I received half my money back. This place is not suitable for a hostel. Should be condemned. It is not even cheap.
