1Amazing Hostel Three Years In A Row! (Take the free walking tour and rent a kayak)

Reviewed By jennuhlee

Me and my boyfriend have been here three years in a row, because we absolutely LOVE Ghent, it is our favorite city in the world and this hostel just makes you feel like you're apart of it. We have taken a few of our friends here too and they loved staying here. We opt for the big room on top, the 10 person sleeper. It has the MOST AMAZING view. There is nothing like waking up and looking out the window at that picturesque scenery. Everyone at the hostel is always super nice, we usually make friends with whoever else is in the room and go out dancing with them which is always a super fun time! The location is right in city center, you can walk to any great restaurant or attraction. There is a small breakfast you can purchase in the morning but usually we just cook something in their super nice kitchen. However we do usually partake in a beer or two from the onsite bar. They also have board games in their common area which is a great way to break the ice with other visitors! The other super awesome thing about this hostel that they always have a great free walking tour (obviously you should give them a great tip if you can) and you can rent a kayak from the hostel and they will help you take it to the river and you literally kayak through the city right by the castle and everything! Omg the perfect place to give ya taste of what this amazing city has to offer!

A really cool hostel just a 10 min walk away from the middle of Bruges. We got a warm welcome from the staff and the room was clean, if a bit sparse - but that was expected! The only (very!) few issues we had were: - with the duvets we found in the room’s cupboard, as there were a couple of stains on one. It had, in all likelihood, been washed but it might be an idea to take damaged bedding out of circulation, as it can be off-putting. - the room’s temperature was tricky to control; the radiator was on, so we turned it down. Room was still warm by the evening so we opened a window to sleep. Woke up chilly, got out the duvet (see above) - it would have been good to have a couple of extra towels to dry the bathroom floor with (or a bath mat) - the shower door allowed a fair amount of water through. It’s worth saying that we didn’t highlight any of the above to staff, as we were only there for a couple of days and the problems were easily mitigated. I’m in no doubt that they’d have fixed anything that was really bothering us. The positives far outweigh the negatives, in any case. The atmosphere in the evenings was lovely to sit amongst downstairs in the bar, and there were always tables and chairs available for chilling out after a day’s hard sightseeing. The decor’s great, and I liked that they had little potted plants everywhere. Everyone there is there to have a good time, and it really gets you into the adventurey spirit. The breakfast, too, was perfect. Lots of bits and pieces to choose from, it was constantly replenished and it set us up for the day. All-in-all, don’t think you could get better in Bruges for the price! Thanks for having us!

Nowhere else they zap you from the fourteenth century to the twenty-first century, and back! Yet, Ghent is also trendy, with its many shopping streets, fancy restaurants, typical pubs and bustling night life. And do not forget the famous Ghent Festivities in July! The hostel has 30 rooms and is in 2015 completly renovated! De Draecke has room for 1 to 6 persons. All the rooms have their own bathroom. The reception is open from 7h00 - 23h00.

Nice hostel in great location!

Staff was very friendly, hostel is clean and modern and the location is superb! Breakfast was fine, all I needed for a good start of the day. Stayed in a three-bed-dorm, so I can't´say anything about the single or family rooms.

Treck Hostel

Treck Hostel is located in a former brickyard from 1854. It's the first indoor camping in Belgium. You don't sleep in a basic double room but in one of our ten theme caravans. For example: you can relax in the Zen caravan, reminisce about the past in the Retro caravan, run around wildly at the Jungle caravan or laze out in the hammock of the Hawaii caravan. Some of the caravans are designed by young artists of Ghent. Extra: for those who like wood, there's also a lovely suite. Curious? You can book a caravan for two, three or four persons. If you're traveling with friends, it's also possible to sleep in the small or the large dorm, with 5 and 13 beds respectively. The hostel also has a large relaxing room with a cosy sitting area, two pingpong-tables and a table football. For those who want to be a bit lazier: in our movies caravan, there's a nice television screen in vintage style waiting for you. If you want to cook for your friends, you can use our new kitchen. When you book an overnight stay at Treck Hostel, you get a tasty and fresh breakfast. The buffet is being served in our cosy bar 'Treckhaak' (Dutch for Towbar), a bar with a playful blend of styles, chairs, crates and cupboards on a warm wooden floor. Do you prefer the sun? Have a drink on our relaxing terrace or on one of the patios of the beautifully restored brickyard.

a unique place with a soul

Reviewed By TravellingNemesis

This is a very special place - basically a hostel that is as much an art project than a hostel! You sleep in a caravan, which is together with about 10 other caravans in a big hall. I would not worry about safety, since every caravan can be locked. It is a place that clearly has a heart for the local vulnerable citizens (cfr. the pictures of places where the homeless sleep in the yard) but also with visibly strong artistic talent among those who built it. My only recommendation would be that if you are a light sleeper, bring your own earplugs. There are sealed earplugs in the caravan, and you'll need them since given the auditive properties of the building, it is really noisy, even if guests are trying to keep silent (and at 3 am, a singing guest was not...) As for location: we walked to the city center, it's about 10-15 minutes. And because of its location slightly outside the center, it has this huge inner yard, which is fantastic when the sun shines. Staff was very friendly and relaxed - there are some local people from Gent working there, as well as some international volunteers who stay there for a while.

Great site if a little industrial. Nice staff. Clean and pleasant. Good breakfast and good ambiance. Lovely river views. Shower a little slippy and needing overhauled. I prefer the option to self-cater in a hostel as I have dietary restrictions, and the cycle parking for overnight could be improved!

Unique quiet situation, very near (walking distance) the old town centre, station, AZ hospital, shopping street and congress center. Large private and free car-park (very important for Bruges!). Special rates for meetings, seminars and repeat guests. Member of the Logis Of Belgium (3 Fireplaces). Member of the Quality Control Belgium. Member of "Chateaux Hotels". Family hotel service.

HOSTELLERIE PANNENHUIS NOT A 1* WORTH

Reviewed By Dadyxav

The worst experience 1. The non-existent welcome, a non-enthusiastic hotelier, giving the impression that the customers are seriously too much for him, not a little advise for the visit of Bruges, no sense of humor...a prison door, he is just there to collect easy money. 2. The prices: We accept that we were staying in high season and that the rates are fluctuating in function of the demand....so we knew it beforehand...no discussion. But now... 3. The product, the hotel is old fashioned and worn, the lighting is in line with the environment. NO CLEANING OF THE ROOM BECAUSE OF COVID??? 4. Breakfast nothing special...inexpensive products from the local supermarket, labels are the proof. 5. Aggressive and rude attitude of the inkeeper when I explained him our disappointment, i SPOKE OF EASY MONEY..no cleaning of the rooms? He treated me of a liar and asked me to leave his place immediately. 6. As I was traveling by bicycle and my departure was taking a little too long, a rude waiter came to ask me if he could help me to get out faster? Conclusion: The worst experience in a (so called 3* hotel)
