Attractive riverfront hostel located about 3km southwest of the train station. The main building occupies a distinct red-brick mansion that was formerly a studio of Félicien Rops...
Modern HI-hostel with spunky décor and good vibes, a one-minute walk behind the train station. No room has more than six beds, and there are showers and toilets inside each room...
A funky, unpretentious place behind a red-painted classic stepped frontage. It's extremely friendly and has some curious decor features that add to the fun. Bring your own sleeping bag or rent sheets...
Run by a young, fun crew, Brussels' hippest hostel has heaps of amenities including an ivy-walled garden courtyard, a very cool black-tiled bar area that's as flash as any nightclub's (with much cheaper beer) and an adjoining glassed-in conservatory...
Half a step up from your average hostel. Located in a typical Bruges terrace house that's 'just clean enough to be healthy, just dirty enough to be happy', according to a sign at reception...
Although it's in a historic building this is a modern youth hostel. There are comfortable facilities, 15th of August concerts and internet access.
The Passage has hostel dorms and inexpensive yet very well-kept double rooms. Few budget accommodation anywhere offers such a delightful first impression as the wonderfully atmospheric Grand Café, which doubles as reception...
Set around a central courtyard and fountain, this spiffy-looking cream-rendered hostel houses 173 beds. Overlooking the courtyard there's a bar with a piano, but it's more a place to chill than to kick up your heels...
This wonderfully central HI hostel overlooks canal-side willow trees on one of Old Ghent's prettiest backstreet squares...
Above a lace and trinket shop, which doubles as the hotel's reception, all six cute-as-a-button rooms at the tiny Hôtel La Vieille Lanterne have views of Brussels' most photographed but - let's be honest - underwhelming fountain, Manneken Pis...
This hostel-cum-hotel is a rabbit warren of neat rooms. With sheets, lockers and breakfast included in the price, its dorms are arguably the cheapest deal in town...
In the appealing Ste Catherine quarter, 10 minutes' walk northwest of the Grand Place, the Résidence Les Écrins is an enchanting, small, traditional hotel in a 19th-century townhouse, with 11 unpretentious, bright, modern rooms...
Slick and snazzy, Sleep Well is decked out with minimalist industrial overtones...
A 15-20-minute walk from the Grand Place in multicultural Molenbeek, Génération Europe may be the furthest hostel from Brussels' centre but it has a lively scene and great communal spaces including a tree-filled garden with winding cobblestone paths...
Charlie Rockets has re-injected life into a former movie theatre right in the old centre of Bruges. It's party central for young backpackers with pool, darts and table football in the bar and DJs spinning vinyl at weekends...
Modern, spic-and-span youth hostel next to the railway lines.
Uninspiring hostel but well located in the heart of town.
