St Christopher's Inn Hostel at The Bauhaus

While this is a chain hostel, it has a cool atmosphere and great facilities. The rooms were cleaned daily, the beds had outlets and curtains, along with a large locker underneath, and the bathroom was just decent. The staff was friendly and the bar and cafe area were nice for either socializing or getting work done. Lastly, the location is great. It's right next to the bus stop that goes to the train station, close to a few local restaurants and a grocery store, and it is close enough to the city center to get there by foot but far enough away to get away from all of the commotion. Overall this is a great option!

Pros: - Can rent bikes to access the city easily - Beds have curtains - Best shower I’ve had in a hostel. You get your own cubicle with hooks, seat, shelves, and with hot powerful water. - Communal area was awesome & staff were really friendly Cons: - Bed had dirty laundry on it on arrival - Rooms aren’t connected to the reception area, they’re dispersed up the street - Hidden €4 city tax you have to pay on arrival - WiFi kept cutting out & you have to keep reconnecting to it - No shelf next to the bed and very dark in the room

Great little hostel, Was a bar downstairs well stocked with Belgium beers but didn't really make the rooms noisy. Very social too and meet some great travel companions and staff where extremely helpful. You do not have to be a partier and drink for it to be social either and would as a solo traveler would 100% recommend.

It had an amazing vibe and the people were great! The breakfast was exactly what I needed (some fruit, cereals and stuff to make sandwiches out of) and there was always someone at the reception willing to help out! Their lockers work for everyone, which was great, because I was able to leave some stuff even after checking out (pay by locker type and time) and the location was amazing and let me walk directly into the city center in around 10 minutes! I’d definitely recommend and come back whenever I’m in Brugge, it was a bang for my money (and y stayed alone).

This was my first time staying in a Hostel. I really liked the atomsphere. If you are willing to share space, this is a better option for a solo travelor than the loneliness of a hotel room. There is nice, authentic Belgium bar attached to the hostel In particular, Alistair was exceptionally helpful. I came to Bruges to learn, and I think I learned more from him than my guided tour and all the museums. It is amazing how the knowledge and kindness of a single person you meet when traveling can make the trip so much more rewarding.
