Hostel De Draecke

This hostel was excellent, the staff were very accommodating and welcoming and were able to meet all my needs. Accommodations were also nice and comfortable, but I will note its not a bad idea to install some air conditioning for the summer months as the rooms can get quite hot. Overall it was a fun experience :)

Fantastic hostel! Were so helpful with me after I messed up my booking - had booked for the wrong month! - and let me stay for the days I was actually supposed to be there for no extra fee!! - only thing I had to do was change rooms once. Fantastic staff and so friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was also great, and had great luggage storage facilities. Would definitely recommend staying here!!

The only good thing I can say about this hostel is the location and the friendly staff. Otherwise it is way too expensive for what you get. Had a terrible sleep, matresses were super thin. Had to close the windows cause there were always guests chatting outside at night, and then the room got way too hot. And the scouts blasted their music at 7:45 although I am aware the hostel isn’t responsible for that but if I had known there would be so many children on our floor I would have stayed somewhere else honestly. All in all just way too expensive for what you get. I‘d rather have no free breakfast and a cheaper price in return

Basic but clean and perfect for our needs, but noisy inside and outside the hostel. Staff friendly and the hostel is perfectly located. Ghent is a lovely place to visit. Amazing sights and fantastic public transport.

Very disappointing experience. The room was dark, smelled bad, and the shower flooded the entire bathroom. The toilet had no ventilation. What I got looked nothing like the photos online. When I asked the receptionist for help, he was rude and sarcastic, saying "it’s not a 5-star hotel." I left within an hour and didn’t stay the night. Would not recommend.

When I was staying there with friends I found a bag of chips near my mattress and the crumbs went all the way to my mattress! The green blanket had stains on it and the bunk beds were creeking every time u would sleep on it, and at night I was itching, the only good part about it was the bathroom. I recommend this place for its location furthermore I wouldn't show up a second time

A pleasant surprise,so clean with good bed,perfect sheets,good breakfast,big bathroom everything was clean and perfect for our trip!All you need to know From a very nice staff

Awesome experience. I checked-in in the worst time possible: 24th of December at night. Not only the staff was reassuring in the process, they made the check-in as comfortable and quick as possible. The rooms have a lot of space, the hostel is well-located, they have really nice locker which are free to use, the breakfast is really good, they let you use the common area after check-out and the staff is really friendly.
