Sustainability & Struggles
No hollow promises here—no "net-zero by 2050" or other corporate fluff. We act now. Our 30kW solar system, unique in Bruges, powers 68% of our annual electricity. With 100kW of batteries, we're nearly self-sufficient. To reach 100%, we need three small 2.5-meter windmills on our existing chimneys—discreet and sustainable.
Outdated city rules and UNESCO push us toward fossil fuels instead of clean energy. Help us fight for progress. Email the city at unesco@brugge.be and burgemeester@brugge.be to demand sustainable solutions for a better future. Together, we can make it happen.
The Honest Truth
We keep it real. Come for the charm, stay for the honesty!
The Not-So-Great
Our stairs are steep—3 floors of leg day, no gym needed (sorry, knees!). No lift either—historic building rules in the city center.
The Awesome
Location? Smack in the heart of Bruges. The absolute best of all hostels in town, hands down.
