This eco-friendly hostel offers free Wi-Fi, a bar, a terrace and bicycle rental services as well as a generous and varied breakfast.

- Room: Stayed in a private room with three beds and a private bathroom. We did indeed sleep well! Clean, compact but enough for our group. Good sound insulation. Did not hear any noise from the hallway or next doors. - Public area: modern, stylish, has many sofa/table area to sit and chat. - GOOD BREAKFAST: the breakfast was good!! We weren't expecting much, but it has much more variety in beverage and food choices than we anticipated. Saved us money and time from eating out in the morning before our packed sightseeing schedule. - Baggage drop: Allow baggage storage before and after check-in/out. They have a room where you can put your luggage in. Beware they do not put tags or check who grabs the luggage. It's kept at your own discretion. If you have a small carry-on size bag, you can bring your own lock and store it in the locker. - Helpful/friendly staff - Location: Located on a quiet street, but very walkable to all the major areas (Train stations, Grand Place, Cathedral, Royal Palace)

Located in Brussels, 1.7 km from Berlaymont, Etterbeek Youth Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.9 km from European Parliament.

I like it is a cheaper variant for such a hostel in a city like Brussels and it's nearer at the center of the city. For example, from the hostel to European Parliament is aprox. 30 minutes by walk. I deeply recommend to walk in Brussels by walking or cycling. Also, the supermarket is a good choice.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The hotel was located a 15-20 minute walk from most tourist attractions. The room was super clean, bed was very comfortable and parking was secure. 24/7 reception and secure. Don’t let comments about the area feeling unsafe put you off. We felt safe walking back at 1am at night. Bonus was that this was one of the cheapest to book in the area, but didn’t lack quality

    Such a lovely hotel. I came here as an emergency after Hotel Aviation was an awful experience. Hotel Argus was clean, safe, friendly receptionists, and offers everything you would need and for the exact same price. Great location, too, with brilliant vegan cafes and restaurants nearby. Totally silent room, too.

    Great location, within walking distance from the central train station and city centre. The room and bathroom were really small and looked a bit outdated, but it was expected as we wanted a cheap option for one night only. Room was quiet and the bed was comfortable.

    Possibly the best hostel that I've been to. Location is excellent. Staff are excellent. Hostel was clean and the bathroom was excellent. Bunk beds were a little creaky. I didn't get to try the breakfast. But I would highly recommend this hostel.

    The Room was very neat and the breakfast was very good. The hostel is in a very great location close to the city centre. E-scooters can be used to get around Brussels very quickly and cheaply (I would recommend getting a day pass or 3 day pass. We used lime but there are many you can use). There is also a metro station close by to get to the atomium and mini-europe easily.
