Loved everything about it. Rooms were bigger than expected - we often forgot we were on a boat. Best showers ever been in a hostel. Although push button operation was a little annoying, I liked the commitment to conserving water and it was made up for by great pressure and heat. I liked the honesty box and recycled toilet water.... More

I'm not entirely sure they are happy in their work. From the get go the simplest things were too much effort. Certainly didn't feel welcome in the slightest. The place is clean and tidy enough but the duvets are way to small for an adult. There's only 3 showers which lead to a wait in the mornings. I certainly wouldn't... More

Hi Patrick, or Paddy if you prefer, well let's say it doesn't make us unhappy you never want to return again, since we threw you out of the hostel! By vomiting all over your bed, and over the person sleeping below you, you didn't only spoil our day, but also your friends bachelor weekend! No wonder you rate Amadeus well,... More

this hostel is a really chill-out place in Ghent. Located just outside the city center, the hostel is easily accessible by tram (take line 1) and can be found in a remote and quiet urban area. The hostel itself in on the canal, which not that common but you won't notice anything as there will be no boats passing by.... More

So, when my friend and I were in Nice ( France ), we met some girls from Ghent, who said to come to Overpoorte Street, for a huge party. So we did. We had no idea we booked a boat! It was way cooler than I had thought, the people running the hostel were awesome too! It was very clean,... More

Welcoming environment, friendly hosts, and a ecofriendly environment. We enjoyed all the comforts of home; comfy bed and pillows, and waking up to the sunrise through the porthole! It was easy to hop on the tram down the block to get to all the tourist stuff without staying in the midst of it. Our wonderful host seven indulged us by... More

Highly recommend this place. I did not feel like I was in a hostel, it has very relaxed atmosphere. Toilets and Showers were clean. Plus its on a boat. Only negative is that it doesn't have cooking facilities but you can't have everything.

The whole of the hostel is very clean, the showers were lovely and spacious, they all had room to change your clothes etc and all had locks. It was the little quirky things I... More

My husband and I had a great time here! Its very cute and well decorated. The rooms are perfectly fine. Its a great place if you want some quiet at night. Free breakfast and a cute kitty. The only downside has nothing to do with the hostel--someone stole my journal. I have no idea why someone would want it. We... More

I very much enjoyed the Ecohostel Andromeda. A converted canal barge, Andromeda is an unusual and interesting hostel. Very clean, the most comfortable bed I've experience in any hostel, conveniently located and reasonably priced. I appreciate their sincere efforts to minimize environmental impact. I would definitely stay there again.

I stayed there just for a night at 8people dorm room. I paid 22 Euros for one night. Bed linens were really clean and duvet was sun-dried and smelt good. They had 4 shower rooms that can be locked, and it was spacey enough for me to change my clothes and bring my stuff while having a shower. They also... More
