This is a place where I stayed back in 2013 when I arrived to live in Gent for one year and do my PhD exchange. I stayed here now to recall my memories and I of course like the location the most.

The location is the best in all the hostels in Gent, but they only do the mixed-gender room. Thinking about you was the single girl, and all your flatmate have't came back yet, you have to stay with an naked guy in the same room at midnight... very creepy, but it was what was happening to me.
