Hi Flanders Oostende - Hostel De Ploate

Overall Atmosfere in the hostel ||On my birthday I came back to this hostel to relax a bit. When I asked the lady at the reception while half-joking if they offer a discount or something for a birthday? I got a dry answer back saying: 'no, that's not how it works in the world sort of comment'. |Well, then it's time to innovate and follow the real world where it's common.||In addition, something nice for the guests. Just like with other hospitality partners. |Can provide more atmosphere, conviviality and people, especially in more calm periods where their are less guests. ||Spreading Positive Vibes and attracting more people and not scaring them away ;-) Just saying :-) ||After this stay, I looked for a hotel myself to give my birthday something extra. This was very successful!||So here you go my suggestion(s) ||(sidenote: very cold in the rooms but that is subjective)

great Hostel in Oostende, Belgium with excellent style, facilities, value and breakfasts. staff are brilliantly helpful and committed, help with bike storage etc. one thing though is that in the morning things are shut up and inaccesible in the common areas till well after 7am, which was an unwelcome surprise.

The staff were super welcoming! The room was spotlessly clean -- I loved the layout with the counter space, the sink & the toilet/shower. Amazing showers, wow! I thought the locker set-up was brilliant & easy to manage! I would definitely recommend!

We stay there for 3 days and everything went smoothly. The room was clean, and it has the basic needs, except two things: where are the table and chairs?

I had a really good time at the hostel. The location was amazing, everything is really close. The staff was super friendly and always ready to help. The rooms were clean and comfy, perfect for a good night's sleep. I loved how eco-friendly the hostel was, with recycling bins everywhere. The breakfast was yummy, and there were lots of cool places to explore nearby. I highly recommend it for a fun and enjoyable stay!

Nice rooms, clean and spacious. However very bad communication with the staff regarding the check in time and no flexibility if the traveller's train arrived after 23.00. They should state in beforehand that you cannot check in after 23.00 or be more flexible (e.g. extra fee). Good location.

I visited ... and I thought that for this precious PLN 67 I would get some normal conditions ... I was in the hostel for the first time ... and I will not visit again ... there is no bed linen ... there are no towels ... in general You can sleep, but it's worth having a normal hotel room...

I visited the hostel with 3 children. There was great service, very friendly staff. It was super clean and there were lots of games for the children to play with.

Clean hostel with comfy beds, VERY close to the beach. There is a big supermarket just a minute away. Hostel is part of the Hostelling International network. Free breakfast (quite good, slightly above average compared with other Western European hostels). But couple unexpected rules: - no mixed dorms (only female/male) - no towel rentals - checkout at 10 AM! - early: 7.30-9.30
