Auberge de Jeunesse de Tournai - Youth Hostel

Friendly staff. Communal areas cosy and nicely decorated for Christmas. We accompanied a school trip and it was a nice atmosphere and plenty of space for the kids to hang out together in the communal areas. Very clean. Tasty breakfast. Food served at dinner time also good if you choose to have it - ask at reception ahead of time how to order, timings etc. Comfortable beds. Great location. As noted in other reviews, the ensuite bathrooms contain a shower and a sink but not a toilet. Can't comment on street noise as the street was closed due to building works. Bedrooms were very cold when we arrived (November) - ask for an extra blanket and for assistance working the heating if needed. We checked in late, after Reception was closed, and it was so cold the first night we found it difficult to sleep. If arriving late in winter request ahead of time that the heating is turned on / extra duvets are provided in the room. We booked through booking.com and waited 3 months for a promised refund - booking.com never processed the refund and the Youth Hostel eventually stepped in and refunded us directly for which we were grateful!

Pretty building with nice rooms and shared area

Fire alarm went off around 9pm and it took a long time for anyone to come Unfortunately there are major roadworks on their road which makes parking difficult

Clean, neat, well-organized, well-equipped. I’m very satisfied with how the hostel is run. The location is grand as well - a short walk from the center, basically in the center.

The staff is super and the location is great. You can walk to the center in a few minutes. There is street parking. The room is good for 4 people. The public bathrooms were super clean

Our room smelled bad, the sink was clogged up and would drain very slowly and the shower also smelled bad. I found the beds incredibly uncomfortable unfortunately
