Best Hostels in Brussels
Brussels' hostel scene keeps you close to the action without the hotel price tag. Most cluster around the City Centre, within walking distance of the Grand Place, the Royal Gallery, and the main train stations – which makes sense, since a hostel's whole appeal here is starting your day right in the middle of things.
The trade-off between hostels is usually sociability versus sleep quality. Dorm beds start around €14 at Urban City Centre Hostel and run up to €34 at Hi Brussels Jacques Brel Hostel, with breakfast and a bar for meeting people. Meanwhile, Sleep Well Youth Hostel and Bx Downtown stand out for higher ratings if you're after a calmer night's rest at a still-budget price.
The bottom line
This set of hostels in Brussels suits travellers who prioritise a central location and a budget price over upscale amenities. If you're after a sociable stay with breakfast included, Hi Brussels Jacques Brel Hostel is a strong pick, while Bx Downtown offers the highest-rated experience across both dorms and private rooms. For those seeking more private, hotel-style accommodation, it's worth checking the city's central hotels or business hotels instead.
