There was no-one on reception to meet us and at first I were told by the bar staff that as there were no staff from the hostel around I would have to find somewhere else to stay. This was late at night. They did let me in in the end though and I can understand why they were a little angry as there were no staff around most of the time. There was also a problem with bed bugs. However, the location couldn't be more central and the showers were fairly clean with hot water.

No hay recepción. La persona que te atiende al entrar es el bartender. Las escaleras a las habitaciones estan a punto de caerse. La alfombra de la habitación tenia manchas de sangre. El colchon tenía´una gran mancha de orín y apestaba. Las cortinas estaban sostenidas con un hilo. El baño estaba lleno de hongos en el suelo, los inodoros tenían sarro de años de no limpiarlos. Creo que este lugar es una estafa .y deberían quitarlo de la página.

this hostel is a bit of an interesting experience if you aren't totally into rock, metal or goth. non the less staff is extremely friendly, helpful and very much concerned about the guests well being. clean and comfortable beds as well as fresh linen. good value for money. would stay again!

Okay for the price. Bring your own towel and soap to the bathroom, though, because there is no soap or towels provided. The floors in the bathroom were pretty dirty too, so I'd bring a pair of shower shoes.

The hostel is quite clean, good beds and the location is absolutely the best; next to Antwerp's funnest square. You shouldn't be coming here for sleep though. The hostel itself isn't very loud, but there is no ventilation in the room so the balcony doors have to stay open. Then there are pubs next door so it is very noisy outside untill 9AM. Hence: no sleep. The security is a joke. Staff told me the front door is left open because the same staff keeps losing all the keys. So anybody can get in!

A joke of a hostel which seems to be an insignificant extension of the downstairs bar. There were no identifiable hostel staff and no reception. Even the bar staff, pleasant as they were, didn't seem to have a clue about the hostel. Security was a major issue as the main door which is accessed from the main street is left open all night meaning anyone could walk in. We also had to pay a 50 euro deposit because "a lot of rooms have been trashed recently". Avoid.

NOISY DURING NIGHT!!!

I would say that this hostel is new and going through growing pains. Curt" was extremely helpful and showed me my room. The rooms and the bathroom appear clean. But I am not convinced the linens and were changed from the night before. The garbage bin had not been changed either. The bathrooms were not the cleanest and reminded me of the "dive bar" bathrooms I visited back home. The rooms were quiet given the music downstairs. But I was literally eaten alive by mosquitoes during the night.

- Reception on the bar - 50 € deposit but we pay on check-out - 2nd floor, no lift, unlocked building - noisy all night long (from street, bar or other guests) - messy management (they put 5th guy in my 4-bed room) - I couldn’t check out at 7 am Sunday since the bar was closed (only open from 2 pm). So I walked around the hostel while checking it again and again. At 9:30, I saw the cleaning service guy entering the bar. I asked him to help me with the check-out and he gave me back my 35 â

The heavy metal theme is a little scary at first, if that's not your thing, but the staff is super friendly, it's cheap, and it's in a great location!
