Jacques Brel Youth Hostel

When it comes to hostels in Brussels, Jacques Brel Youth Hostel was one of the first. It has been open since 1987, and is still going strong. Located not far from the Gare du Nord, it is within walking distance of downtown Brussels for your convenience. For example, it is a 15 minute walk to the Grand Place. Its slightly out of the way location makes it an excellent budget choice for any traveler. And do not be confused, it is sometimes listed as Gite d’Etape - Youth Hostel Jacques Brel - it is the same place!
