Charlie rockets was à good hostel with à great atmosphere, the bar downstairs was definately à great extra at this hostel. The rooms were fairly clean, but there was an absolutely horrible smell in the hallway, like sewage or something. Nothing fancy, but okay for à hostel. More

Good central location but possibly one of the worst hostels I have stayed in. Stayed for 3 nights in April and had 2 days without hot water, very loud until early morning and generally unhelpful staff. I'm sure there are many better places in Bruges to stay, however if you just need a place to sleep for one night you... More

Great place to come for a drink. Don't sleep here, it is noisy from the all night bar downstairs, the rooms are cramped and the beds are some of the most uncomfortable I have ever encountered.They need to sack the 12 year old behind the bar, he is rude, slow and a waste of space. More

This place is good for a weekend with friends since it is central and affordable. Breakfast comes with an extra fee and is no big thrill. In Bruges I always choose this place. More

Yes, it is probably terrible for many people. But if you just need a place to sleep, this place is great. Mostly because the beds and linen were very clean. Everything else was not the best--the staff at the "reception" (really at the bar of the pub downstairs) lost my reservation; you must elbow your way through the smokers at... More

I stayed for 3 nights and when I booked in, I was insulted by the man attending to me within 5 minutes of being there; they took 2 days to clean up the vomit in the bathroom shower, even though I asked them several times; there was no hot water in one shower; they charged me 4 euros instead of...

Stayed here with my best friend during a European backpacking trip and we loved it. We had originally planned to stay in another hostel in Bruges called 'Snuffle' due its great reviews on hostelworld.com, but after naively turning up without a reservation to find it all booked up, we were directed elsewhere to Charlie Rockets. Now, when people say things... More

Good place for backpackers looking for a cheap accomodation in Bruges. Location is perfect - right in the very center of The Old Town. Rooms don't look very clean, all of them have bunk beds (sheets and pillows are clean). Toilets and showers in the corridor, clean but need refreshment. Stairs can really be a problem, especially after a few... More
