Auberge de Jeunesse Charleroi Youth Hostel

Lovely, quiet and very clean. Beds pretty comfortable too and you have access to drinks if you fancy until 1am. Breakfast only starts at 7am but that might be because i went off-peak season. Staff are helpful. Breakfast is okay but would like to see more savoury options. (no hot breakfast available) Very close to the train station so easy to travel during the day, but the hostel is down a bit of a back street so was a little difficult to find at first. Overall a good stay and would recommend for travellers!

The hotel location was very convenient! Just 7 minutes away from the train & bus station. Easy to find. Very quiet and clean hotel. The pillow and bed and sheet were comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff. Plus, i was impressed with the interiors. Breakfast was good. Wifi connection was good too. You can also karaoke at this hostel. Big screen! So much fun. Oh ya, this hostel provides towel without any charges. Win! Overall I’m fully satisfied and definitely come back soon. Really enjoyed my stay.

A perfume was stolen from my room during our stay. Which is even more strange considering the fact that no cleaning service is being provided: there are no towels/changing the towels, no soap, no changing of bed sheets (guest does it himself at the check in and check out), no removing the garbage from the bin. So noone should have had the approach to the room except from myself. This was reported to the reception on 6 May 2024 but they didn't seem much upset.

Best hostel I've ever stayed in. Quiet, super clean shower and toilet in every dorm, well designed bunks with usb charging and individual lighting and great mattresses, superb buffet breakfast, really convenient for bus and train, nearby parking bays, friendly staff. Reception till 1 aim, not 11pm as in the website. Only problem for old people like me was ladder access to upper bunks. I had a shoulder injury and really suffered.

The first thing to say is - I'm not usually a Youth Hostel person so I'll give the Auberge de Jeunesse lots of credit here. Met by friendly receptionist who was helpful in telling me all the important information including the shuttle bus back to Charleroi Airport. The room I got was a "Basic Single Room" - which was just a 2 bed dorm with Single occupancy. It did exactly what it said on the tin - it had a bed, toilet, shower, sink, plugs and table/chairs - just what was needed for an overnight stay. The bed was comfortable despite having to do the pillowcase/bed sheets/duvet cover myself, but I guess that's a hostel thing! The one downside to my stay was the amount of noise from outside my room - which I believe was next to a shared area. Constant banging, whistling and cheering until about 12.30am led to not much sleep being had until then - luckily my flight home was in the afternoon, it would be awful if you had an early connection! Breakfast was offered and was a good continental offering, some hot food would have been nice but the breakfast I had was more than acceptable. For a grand total of €37 including breakfast, this place is extremely good value for money, but expect noise before you go to sleep! I would return if I was coming back to Charleroi.
