"The Jacques Brel Hostel (named for the famed Belgian singer-songwriter) isn’t your average, run-down backpacker establishment, as evidenced by its charming courtyard with wooden garden furniture." Full review
Frommer's "The friendly, rather ramshackle hostel has the reputation of being the best one in Brussels...because the hostel is inside an old house, rooms are of odd shapes and sizes." Full review
