Our precautions?
Flemish Youth Hostels already follow strict health & safety guidelines across our hostels. Meaning that common areas and rooms are already regularly disinfected. In addition, all our employees are sufficiently informed so they know what the virus is, what the symptoms are and how they can avoid being infected. This is in the interest of their own safety and of all travelers.
All managers are kept up to date and should be able to answer any questions about standard procedures as they've implemented them in their individual hostel. If you have any questions, you can ask for information and instructions at the reception or find further information on several marked places or on posters that can be found throughout the building.
HI Hostels Flanders are open again!
All our HI Hostels are open. From the 7th of March, 2022, you don't have to show your Covid Safe Ticket (CST).
