Youth Hostel Van Gogh

This small independent hostel is located a few minutes walking from the Botanique metro station and only a 15 minute walk to Grand Place.

As well as the lovely garden, there are multiple common areas where you can meet other travelers, and breakfast is a bargain at only €2. They also have a guest kitchen and a supermarket next door, and they organize events in the weekend.

Reception is open from 7:30am to midnight, and you can also purchase tour and attraction tickets from there.

SANDEMANs tip: their bar has some beer you won't find anywhere else - they make it themselves!
