Auberge de Jeunesse de Namur - Hostel

The view was amazing, and breakfast was generous and included. The staff were really kind. I did feel restricted in my room, though: I could only sleep there, since I couldn't get ready or do anything else without disturbing roommates who slept late. Still, I had a positive experience.

We spent two nights here with the family and had a great time. The river view was lovely, and we took scooters from outside the door to get to the centre. Inside, the couches, bar, table football, and other facilities made it feel cosy. The receptionists were extremely friendly. Thanks a lot!

Guillaume, who I think may be the co-owner or manager, was the icing on the cake. He was hilarious and went out of his way to help, calling around about six restaurants until he found us a Saturday night table. The place is peaceful and picturesque, overlooking the river, though that means it's not ideal if you want to be in the middle of town and its nightlife. The rooms were clean and well maintained, and the whole hostel-style stay felt homely. There's a bar and a great buffet breakfast, and it was good value. About as good as this type of accommodation gets. I'd absolutely return and highly recommend it.

Really excellent service from the friendly staff, and they were very accommodating to cyclists. It has that classic youth-holiday hostel feel, with a nice building and rooms with big windows. The blankets could have been cleaner, and the breakfast coffee needs an upgrade.
