The Flemish Youth Hostel Association (HI Belgium – Flanders) welcomed another new hostel into their network: Hostel H, the first City Hostel in Hasselt.
All the comfort you need
The brand new hostel has a modern and young look and feel to it, and aims to attract young travellers, budget tourists, schools and youth associations. The hostel has a total capacity of 120 beds divided over 40 en-suite rooms. There are 25 twin rooms, 10 four-bed dorms and 5 six-bed dorms. So whether you prefer a private room, or a bed in a shared dorm, it’s totally up to you. The common areas, such as the bar, the lounge and the backpacker’s kitchen are the ideal meeting place where you'll surely make new friends.
Groups can use the large conference room, which has a total capacity of about 55 people and can be divided into 3 smaller rooms. There’s free wi-fi available throughout the hostel and breakfast is included.
Art in the picture
Above the hostel entrance there is a large display window that will be used to promote culture and events in the city. Local artists can show their work, like the graffiti painter who got the first job. Located close to the railway station, this is a great sign board for the city.
Great location
The hostel is perfectly located, close to the railway station and at walking distance of the centre of Hasselt. The new building is also a part of a larger project, including the construction of a big city park and residential area, which will make the neighbourhood a trendy and upcoming place in a green and friendly environment.
Capital of Taste
Hasselt is the ideal city to be explored on foot. Car-free shopping streets, trendy shops, cosy terraces, gastronomic restaurants, surprising alley short-cuts and also interesting museums, sparkling culture and relaxing green areas. If you want to escape the city, there are many outdoor options in the greater area around Hasselt, a city which is located in the greenest province of Belgium. Hasselt is also close to the German and Dutch border, so if you’re on your way to the Netherlands or Germany, this is the stop you don't want to miss.
