I book breakfast and I was surprised there was no eggs, they said I would need to pay extra for eggs, I was nor happy because I book breakfast
I was not happy about about the bed,my husband and I a bit older and we were not happy we had to climb a ladder And when we need to go to the toilet You had to climb down. That was very difficult. The following day I asked for the room to be changed and gave me the room. I paid undy did

Es war sehr freundlich gestaltet und eingerichtet. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend und konnte mir gut weiterhelfen mit meinen Fragen (sowohl beim Check-in, wie beim Check-Out). Auch das Frühstück war gut organisiert.
Das Licht im Badezimmer war etwas dunkel, das ist aber das Einzige was mir aufgefallen ist.

We did not get breakfast. The location was super close to Tilburg Station. The walk was easy as heck! The decor was pretty cool to look at too!
There wasn't any towels or generic soap for us to use. The mirror was a bit high for us to be able to see ourselves. The elevator didn't work and the stairs were a bit steep to walk up after a long day out exploring.

It was y first time in this country and the staff made me feel really welcomed. Everyone was nice, the location is the best. The rooms are nce. I really felt like I was home. I still go there from time to time because I kept contact with some people. If, you are travelling near tilburg you should stay to that hostel.
That I could not use the elevator. But that is just me being lazy.

Such a wonderful place, the staff were very friendly and helpful! The hostel has a homey and cozy feeling, you feel relaxed and welcomed. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean, we would have definitley stayed another night if our agenda's permitted it. Will be coming back soon!

Convenience of the location. Cordial reception.
Thursday/Sunday excellent. Friday/Saturday disastrous- put in with a student group- late return -raucous behaviour-loud banter until 04.30-throwing a chair around- walking over top bunks- posing statuesque between top bunks over mine- a total of 3 hours sleep only per night making it a very expensive and totally unacceptable for the price paid. I have stayed at this Hostel four times previously with no problems, hence my bitter disappointment.

The history of the building, the bar in the cellar and the decoration of the lobby.
I wish i was staying more days
The kitchen has to be for guests too.

Very well located. Good internet. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean, it was nice to have a simple breakfast at an acceptable price.
I'm rather disappointed as there were too many things that didn't work out so well; for some I'd not complain if the price was lower, others I didn't like in any case.
First of all, around 45€ per night for a bed in a dormitory of 8 beds (on Booking it was advertised as 6 beds, not that it changes anything) is quite high. At this price, at least the quality should have been on the higher end for this type of establishment, and it was not the case.
Starting with the minor things: nowhere to hang the coats (two chairs for eight persons are not enough), no storage space nor lockers in the room, the ladder of the two upperest bunk beds is quite dangerous (and I'm relatively sporty) and surely uncomfortable, the elevator was not working (which was the least problem for me but is still worthy to be mentioned). As long as men do not learn turning the toilet bowl down, all toilets should be separated by genres.
On the less minor things, I got back at 11:30 at night, the card didn't work for the entrance door, it was freezing cold under 0°, I pushed repeatedly on the only thing the resembled a bell and nobody reacted (apparently they "logically" switch off the bell when the reception is closed), I tried to call the usual hostel number but nobody answered before my phone battery went down and switched off because of the freezing temperatures. If after 30 minutes panicking in the freezing cold a girl didn't get out to smoke I don't know what I would have done. Then the card also didn't open the door of my room, luckily the other guests weren't neither sleeping nor out partying. When I told the reception the day after they didn't even really apologise.
I tend to be very accommodating and I'm used to hostels, normally I don't write bad reviews but this was an upsetting experience and an awful end of that day, coupled with the minor points for improvement I already mentioned at the beginning.

The location. Train station is 3min away and 013 venue super close.
Simply not worth the price. Glad I only stayed there for one night…
- You have to make/unmake your own bed
- You have to pay for a towel
- There are no lockers in the rooms
- Rooms are VERY crowded, no space to have luggage…
- No female rooms (technically they have one, but there should have been more. i met mostly girls during my stay and we all wanted to be together but couldnt)
- Bathroom is poor
- Staff was meh

The staff was very relaxed and friendly, very inviting. The rooms were very spacious (each bed of the bunk beds) had enough space around to not feel your sleeping in a room with so many people. The location was perfect, very close to the central station and the lockers were "free" which was a positive surprise because usually you get charged extra for it (you only had to leave a deposit that was paid back at the end). The beds were comfty and considering the cold temperatures, it was amazzing that the rooms had a self regulatory heating. Price-quality was great, I would definitely recommend it!
