"A few minutes from the train and bus station. so really easy to get to. Didn't have much chance to explore Charleroi, but the hostel was nice. I booked a singe room, although this was just a private bed within a dorm, but still gave me a place to rest. (And a choice of beds) They also had plenty of sockets, as well as USB ports, allowing me to charge phone and battery pack. The breakfast was a nice addition in the morning and they also offer you the chance to take a packed lunch for later in the day with your exploring. The reception staff were really friendly and I believe they had a relaxing area, terrace and bar to enjoy too, although I did not get chance to make use of these."
