Hipsters eat your heart out this hostel is your vibe. Hospitality second to none in this fun, converted chocolate factory hostel. I had the warmest welcome from one of the owners Bridget. She also baked a cake each day I was there for the guests. The area is a little gritty. Common area facilities were excellent. I was a little... More

I have stayed at many (about two dozen) hostels around the world and this was one of the best. I stayed for three nights. The couple that runs it are extremely polite, fun and helpful. I loved the way they not only checked me in but also pointed out important stuff in the vicinity. The location is quite good, near... More

ABsolutely fantastic hostel. The staff (in particular, Bridget) were exceptional, and made me feel right at home. I even returned to the hostel a few days later, and she left me a warming, welcoming note. There is a great rooftop terrace where people tend to socialise, and the breakfast is 'help yourself' whenever you feel like it (no time restrictions).... More

And a TV and dvd player to watch her favourite films. The room was wonderful, two comfy single beds... we slept so well and no noise... We loved the... More

I stumbled upon this hostel about 6 years ago (in a different location then) and was so impressed with everything. Bridget was such a great host! I recently found myself headed back to Antwerp and there was only one option, ABHOSTEL! The new location allows for more room and even has a rooftop terrace that is great for enjoying beers... More

Abhostel is easily the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Bridget is a lovely and accommodating host, who has really thought about how to improve the hostel experience. The whole place is very clean, with a charming, homely vibe. Rooftop is beautiful when it's sunny. Shared bathrooms are fairly standard but clean and always with hot water. Breakfast is the... More

I've been to Abhostel in March 2012, which was a very pleasant stay for me. I called in a day before I had to travel to Antwerp, and they only had a double room left, which was too expensive for me. The nice female owner of the hostel was nice enough to let me stay in that room for half... More
