Backstay Hostels

A high-profile conversion from a monument to a trendy city hostel in the sparkling cultural centre of Ghent (Belgium)


In the spring of 2014 this splendid building will begin a new and very exciting story. The building will open its doors to travellers from around the world as the Backstay Hostel.

The renovation work on this splendid monument has just started, and the driving forces behind the project are intensely busy preparing for a flawless opening of this ambitious hostel in April next year.

The hostel is perfectly located in the midst of the city's university centre, across from the renowned Vooruit art centre and within walking distance of the historic centre. With a capacity of 109 beds in 18 rooms, this will immediately become one of the largest hostels in the Ghent area.
