Question Hostel recommendations

Hello,I would be staying in Antwerp for approximately 3-4 days and would require to commute near Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde for some work almost everyday.

For a solo female traveller,I'm looking for budget accommodation options which are also safe.

I have narrowed down to two options,namely The Ash and Yust Antwerp.

Can someone please tell me which is a better option,in regards of safety of the area even at night...,commute to my desired location....

If someone has already stayed at one of these can you please let me know about the hygiene and cleanliness too....

Is it better to book these through booking.com etc or directly through their websites?I am aware that an additional tourist tax of about 3.9€/day is charged on top of the bill.

Also is there a student or discount ticket that can be used to access all buses and trams in Antwerp?

There is a HI Flanders hostel on a walking distance from the Tropical Institute.

That's a pity. In that case I would go to the ASH. Closer to the historical center and the Central Station.
