I book the Youth Hostel Meeting Point. 2 mins from Central station and RLD, on Warmoestraat. Winter prices are €14 p.p.p.n weekdays and €18 p.p.p.n on weekends. There is also a smoking room, Heineken is only €3.60 a pint, and ham & cheese toasties are only €2.

I am always on a budget, and I love this hostel, the showers are nice too :)

Most of the bars sell about €5 a pint. 3.60 is very cheap. I don't drink anyway, so it doesn't bother me either way :)

If you can find a private shower for 25 euro a night your the man. I looked my ass off, but settled with the flying pig. Looked at the Manofa too, but it was at least 40 euro, maybe more when I checked.

If you find a place for that price you'll have to post it. I found a few places for 70-80 euro, but I'm on a pretty tight budget now so those were out of the question. I really don't mind a hostel, peeps just better not mess with my shit or they'll wish they hadn't. :twisted:

Yea i will do... The price was 75E last time for a night in a triple room with private shower and a balcony, being 25E each!

That would be my only concern getting a hostel... dont be messing with my shit, not that i would leave nething of value in the room
