Liked: Excellent location, easy to find, friendly staff, great breakfast (they actually had meat and cheese), fast wifi connection, overall great Hostel to stay at!

Disliked: Bathroom didn't have ventilation so it smelt musty, the rooms are crammed with beds, not much room to empty your bag, downstairs bar fills with locals at night (most do not speak English, so it is hard to meet people unless you speak German)

Liked: Location was great, easy to find from the train station, walking distance to everything in town. Free breakfast in the morning was good. People were friendly.

Disliked: The atmosphere was definitely a safe one, but none of the doors were kept locked, and the hostel part of this hotel/hostel was a side entrance, so theoretically anyone could come and go. There were lockers though.

Liked: Staff were friendly and helpful when it comes to organising activities and advising what I activities I should do. The internet was free. Breakfast was free and good. Price per night is cheap for Switzerland. Beer was cheap. Rooms were a good size. Good location. Great hostel overall.

Disliked: Not much. Check in wasn't until 3.30 which was a bit of a pain but I was able to leave my bags there when I arrived early. Also one of the computers was missing a mouse. Other than that, no complaints.

Liked: Free PCs with Internet! Also, no additional charge to join some backpacking/hostel system, which annoys the crap out of me from a previous Bruges experience.

Disliked: Hard to find, partially due to the city not having decent signposting of streets, and also on the maps dotted round the city - could not find the street!

Liked: Nice location.

Disliked: Staff was horrible. Never at the reception desk. When we checked in a drunk local was being obnoxious and wouldn't leave us alone. Staff wasn't willing to help with anything. Wifi does not work whatsoever. Only two computers for the entire hostel.
