Within a classic step-gabled canal-side house, the showstopping attraction at this super-central hostel is the unbeatable view of Ghent’s main towers as seen from the breakfast room (breakfast €5). It also has the biggest, cheapest dorms. Smaller rooms have little view, if any.
Note that there's limited vehicular access to this part of town, the cobblestones are a nightmare for wheelies and there's no elevator.
