Would be 5 stars except my phone was attacked 4 times over the network. Each attack required a hard reset to unlock the phone again. This is a network issue with their network. Stay in airplane mode while at the hostel. If the attack had succeeded I would have lost my phone and bank accounts.

Degraded area not far from Midi station
The property is in quite a degraded area of the city, but fair price and close to Midi railway station. The room was small and cramped but functional.

Awkward room access
On this occasion (the second of two stays in ten days), we were allocated a room at the top of the first flight of stairs. It might best be described as awkward, at worst a death trap. There were two steps down into the room immediately upon opening the door, and could easily have fallen while finding the light switch.
Very unsafe area crowds of people hanging around outside hostel @ 3am. No locks in room at all despite having a door leading onto street with no lock. Would not return! Stayed in hostel for 1 and a half hours before needing to leave as could not live in these conditions. Only good point was receptionist was lovely.
So bad I didn’t stay for longer than 12 hours and had booked 2 nights Steep stairs and no lift. Reception is in different part of building to accommodation. So have to leave reception and go out of building and around corner. No lift. No hot water in bathroom and no toilet paper. Loud music playing in room all night, loud people screaming outside door all night. Bad smell that lingers. Not recommended.
It's definitely in a sketchy feeling part of town. The door to the fire escape in our room was not secure - it would lock, but if you shook the door, it came open. There were people outside that weren't working and were just lingering. Lots of steps and narrow staircase. You have to go outside after you check in to get to the door to go up to your room. The shower doesn't have a door and the water got literally everywhere and with no towels, that was not ideal. The bedspreads were yellowed (you know how down or pillows get yellow as they're laundered or used/old). Definitely would not stay there again.
NO ELEVATOR. Imagine carrying a 20kg suitcase up 4 floors. No airconditioning either, so enjoy the hot urban summer drenched in sweat in the middle of the night with 5 other sweating strangers in the same room.
Location wise, its great. But it seems that they're in the process of working on the place, so in time it'll be better.

The location is good. Because it is so close to the road and restaurant it is very noisy. I would suggest providing some facilities in the kitchen such as a stove and fridge to help people cook.
Fue muy buen lugar, pequeño, pero muy limpio, excelente personal y muy bien ubicado 5 min del la estación del tren y autobuses y a 10 min caminando del centro

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff were nice and the beds were comfortable, however the bathroom was a bit cramped and constantly dirty.
Booked this hostel as it was close distance to Brussels South train station. My hostel room faced the streeet and it was quite loud outside late into the night. There are bars/resturants that attract a lot of people and noise.

The staff was kind enough at check in and held our luggage for us during check out. The hotel fit all of our needs.
I would say that the hostel has very steep and narrow stairs. Difficult to manouver up to/from the 4th floor where we stayed, especially with luggage and kids.
