5.4 Okay
Pros: The hostel looks nice, there are plenty of areas to rest, and car parking. Location is not right in the city center, but very-very close.
Cons: The room is not clean indeed, we even found a cockroach in the bed. Not value for money as for me, but it was the only place to have free rooms in this time. And when we opened balcony there came manure smell into the room.

Cons: The building is old. It is being renovated since the owner has just recently bought it April 2015 and is working hard at getting it up to a higher rating - a work in progress. There is a dank musty smell in the place due to it being old. Vintage rooms.

4.2 Okay
Pros: The boys at the desk were polite and helpful. Location was good.
Cons: The hostel fell well below our expectations. The bed was flimsy and was propped up by two wooden blocks which slipped out twice during the night causing the bed to drop suddenly. We were also very uncomfortale due to the very dim lights in the hostel at night (felt like a haunted house). The showers and toilets need refurbishing. There is only one toilet and shower on the bottom floor and you have to walk up three steep flights of stairs to get to the showers (in the dark during the night). The pillow cases and blankets were also very old and 'rag like'. A very uncomfortable stay.

Pros: The room is fine and the staff nice and friendly.

Pros: - The location was great, located in the heart of Bruges just off a Main Street - Staff were accommodating and allowed us to check in early - The bed was comfortable
Cons: - multiple stains on bedsheets and pillow cases, we also had hairs on our bed prior to us sleeping in the bed - The accommodation has very thin walls. Our room was backing onto the toilet that the entire floor could use, we were able to hear them using the toilet. Also we could hear guests conversations and footsteps due to the thin walls - No showers located on our floor, 2 located at the floor below and another 2 above. The showers are very small and not very clean - WiFi was also intermittent

Pros: The location was perfect.
Cons: The music down at the bar was too loud. Makes sense coz it was a bar so you have to adjust. There was no lift so it was very difficult with big and heavy bags.
2.5 Mediocre
Pros: It is a NO GO
Cons: The whole place smell dirty. There was fruit flies in the bar that after closing becomes the place for the worst breakfast you can imagine. I moved the bed and found a ball of hair. Toilets were also smelly and dirty. And this was on the private rooms, I cannot imagine how would be a shared room.
6.7 Good
Pros: Well located, very nice staff, breakfast included and possibility to leave luggage.
Cons: Very noisy room (could hear everybody talking, showering and using the toilett), poor equipped room and bath rooms are aged as well as not in best cleaning conditions.

The dormitory was so big we were allowed to bring them (4 bikes) into the room and it still didn't feel cramped. My colleagues said they had the best night's sleep of the 7 day tour. Peaceful and serene setting along the river bank. Towels available for a small extra charge. Only a 20mins brisk cycle ride from Bruges city centre. Large Decathlon same distance with comprehensive repair facility situated in large retail complex.

Cons: The room we had was smelly and, as there was no mosquito net on the window, you couldn't really open it to air the place. I'm not sure the location would work for someone who travels without a car, the hostel seems to be in the middle of nowhere.
