Right upon arrival, staff were incredibly attentive and kind to me. My room was clean and surprisingly quiet for a 10-person dorm which I was grateful for. The common room was genuinely perfect with outlets to charge, comfortable seating, a wonderful atmosphere, and drinks. Especially since with the location, you could look out the window and see all the towers! The amenities were also nice. While the lockers were small, I could fit my bag easily. Showers were also clean and always available, which is always a treat at a hostel. My only tip if you stay here is to keep your phone charged because digital keys are used for everything! If I came to Ghent again, I would stay here 100%!

Hands down best view from the room! Booked another night as I had a really good impression and experience - wish I had stayed longer! Bed is comfy and the room is...roomy enough. The ladies at the front were exceptionally accommodating for when I had issues checking out and checking back in. Staff is overall awesome! The only shower room is fairly well kept. For a small amount there will be everything that you will/might need: from towels, laundry/dryer, tea/coffee/beer/snacks, luggage storage, to kayaks. Didn't have to use the common kitchen but it seemed equipped. Really can't go wrong with the location - everything is within reach and the are is just simply beautiful day/night.

I can't recommend this hostel enough. I only stayed there one night and wished I could stay longer. Just a few reasons why I love it so much: - the building is gorgeous, it is excellent value for money, the digital key works perfectly, the bathrooms/showers are modern and lovely, the staff are kind and helpful, the luggage storage lockers work well, the hot drinks are very cheap and nice, the views are excellent, the in-room lockers work well, there are vending machines for small things/snacks you might need.. There are free walking tours starting outside... I wouldn't say the beds are amazingly comfortable but as comfortable as you can expect in an ordinary hostel. I could write more but I think I gave an impression of why this place is ideal for a short stay in Ghent. I just need an excuse to go back now :)

The staff are welcoming and very helpful. The location is epic! The bunkers are a bit old-fashioned, very simple and no curtains. No en-suite toilets, you have to go all the way down the aisle. Good value for money

Highly recommend this hostel, I had to book here last minute and found the process really easy. I stayed in a 12 person mixed dorm but over the two nights only had three others in the room. The room has lockers which you need a padlock for. Bed was comfortable along with the pillow and cover and each bunk has a USB & USB C wall plug along with normal plug and bedside light. I stayed in room 4 and had a view of the river. The only downside to this was the noise on the weekend, but that determines if a window is open. Bathroom facilities was great and enough toilets for each floor. Security is great with how you access the rooms, but did find that room doors don’t self close so if someone doesn’t shut the door behind them it won’t lock. I found this out when coming back. Thankfully all was ok. Highly recommend staying here.

Very clean and professional. Respectful and open. Second floor 8 bed dorm room I was in the was co-Ed. Bathrooms were also. Plenty of showers and toilets and sinks. Beds all have outlets right at them with usb charger ports. Very nice common area and check in / out process. Nice little bar with a few beers. Highly recommend.

I don't think you can have a better location in the city of Ghent! The view was spectacular! The location is definitely the best thing the hostel has to offer. Very helpful receptionist who explained everything easily & the lobby has a very relaxed atmosphere. The receptionist even helped print my train ticket! Rooms & bathrooms kept clean from what I saw. Plenty of showers, however they are on the highest floor with the loudest stairs in the hallway. That's an old building hostel for you though. Overall I really enjoyed my stay here at Hostel Uppelink and would plan to come back to see the stunning view from my window!!
