What guests think
At Hostel Uppelink, travelers praise the unbeatable central location in Ghent’s historic heart, friendly and helpful staff, and very clean, well-kept spaces with useful amenities like a guest kitchen, bar, lockers, and inviting common areas.
Many enjoy city views from rooms, and several solo travelers reported feeling safe. Common drawbacks include hot rooms in summer, dorms without bed curtains and limited privacy, and some extra charges for items like towels or breakfast. Feedback on the mobile key system is mixed, and occasional noise can come from the street or fellow guests. Overall, expect a clean, sociable stay in a prime location.

Perfect gelegen voor een uitje in Gent. We hadden een kamer met 3, met een prachtig uitzicht. Gedeeld sanitair is netjes en in orde (goede douches). Vriendelijk personeel. Enige minpunt: geen fruit bij ontbijt (gewoon een appel, banaan of appelsien ware tof geweest).

Un po’ costoso per essere un ostello, ma perfettamente pulito e in una posizione che di meglio non ce n’è. La nostra camera privata aveva un letto a castello con tre letti, perfettamente igienizzati. Vengono fornite le lenzuola ma non gli asciugamani, che comportano un costo aggiuntivo. Le sale comuni sono ben arredate e accoglienti, come pure la zona cucina e bar. Caldamente consigliato

Good hostel, but not cheap. Great that facilities are available but you pay for everything. Staff great and friendly. They will go out of their way to help. The rooms are spacious but in mid summer, uncomfortably hot. Overall a pleasant experience.

De passage pour faire le marathon de Gand, le personnel fut à l’écoute, accueillant et n’a pas hésiter à m’apporter des solutions à mes problèmes. Système de clés électronique efficace avec possibilité de laisser mon sac à la bagagerie. Top. J’étais dans une chambre de 16 c’était très calme j’ai pu dormir sans soucis. Tout était nickel.

Totalmente recomendado! Edificación antigua por fuera, pero súper bien mantenida. Bien ubicado y limpio.. tiene suficientes baños , duchas y espacios comunes para sus huéspedes. Los lockers de las habitaciones son algo pequeños pero con suficiente espacio para dejar tus objetos de valor (puedes ocupar más de no están todos ocupados). Hay desayuno y algunos bebestibles disponibles con pago extra, pero con precios totalmente razonables. También máquina expendedora en caso de que necesites cualquier cosa, tanto comida como candados, útiles de aseo, o paraguas por si llueve ! La cocina tiene implementos para cocinar, espacio para guardar tus alimentos en la nevera o fuera de ella, además de tostadora, microondas, hervidor par agua, etc. Lockers de distintos tamaños para dejar tus equipajes antes o después de tu estancia a muy buen precio (el más pequeño €0.30 por hora y pueden entrar dos mochilas fácilmente). Un equipo de trabajo súper agradable y dispuestos a ayudarte en todo! También puedes rentar kayak para macerar libremente por los canales de Gante, es hermoso! Un detalle que NO depende para nada del hostel o su administración, en la noche se escucha algo de ruido desde la calle, debido a la ubicación y el silencio de la noche hace que se perciba más el ruido y paso de vehículos y buses, pero si vas de turista de seguro te acuestas cansado, no te darás ni cuenta… Si vuelvo a Gante algún día (espero hacerlo) volvería a elegir Hostel Uppelink !

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Not only is it in a central location with easy access to the University and other points of interest, they have some nice facilities. Obviously the building itself is part of the equation. Mad sleeping somewhere older than my country. A thanks to Brian and his afternoon shift colleague. You were amazing hosts.

Perfect gelegen voor een uitje in Gent. We hadden een kamer met 3, met een prachtig uitzicht. Gedeeld sanitair is netjes en in orde (goede douches). Vriendelijk personeel. Enige minpunt: geen fruit bij ontbijt (gewoon een appel, banaan of appelsien ware tof geweest).

Un po’ costoso per essere un ostello, ma perfettamente pulito e in una posizione che di meglio non ce n’è. La nostra camera privata aveva un letto a castello con tre letti, perfettamente igienizzati. Vengono fornite le lenzuola ma non gli asciugamani, che comportano un costo aggiuntivo. Le sale comuni sono ben arredate e accoglienti, come pure la zona cucina e bar. Caldamente consigliato

Totalmente recomendado! Edificación antigua por fuera, pero súper bien mantenida. Bien ubicado y limpio.. tiene suficientes baños , duchas y espacios comunes para sus huéspedes. Los lockers de las habitaciones son algo pequeños pero con suficiente espacio para dejar tus objetos de valor (puedes ocupar más de no están todos ocupados). Hay desayuno y algunos bebestibles disponibles con pago extra, pero con precios totalmente razonables. También máquina expendedora en caso de que necesites cualquier cosa, tanto comida como candados, útiles de aseo, o paraguas por si llueve ! La cocina tiene implementos para cocinar, espacio para guardar tus alimentos en la nevera o fuera de ella, además de tostadora, microondas, hervidor par agua, etc. Lockers de distintos tamaños para dejar tus equipajes antes o después de tu estancia a muy buen precio (el más pequeño €0.30 por hora y pueden entrar dos mochilas fácilmente). Un equipo de trabajo súper agradable y dispuestos a ayudarte en todo! También puedes rentar kayak para macerar libremente por los canales de Gante, es hermoso! Un detalle que NO depende para nada del hostel o su administración, en la noche se escucha algo de ruido desde la calle, debido a la ubicación y el silencio de la noche hace que se perciba más el ruido y paso de vehículos y buses, pero si vas de turista de seguro te acuestas cansado, no te darás ni cuenta… Si vuelvo a Gante algún día (espero hacerlo) volvería a elegir Hostel Uppelink !

Overall, I had a good stay. The hostel was clean and in a great central location, making it easy to get around. My only issue was that there was basically no air conditioning, and the rooms rely on open windows. It was fine during my visit, but I could see it getting very hot in warmer weather. Other than that, I would recommend staying here.

The place has a perfect location, is clean, but I think the rooms are a little uncomfortable, is a good option more because of the price :)
