It’s a very well located, clean and well decorated hostel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Common areas were enough to spend time with friends. The room was big enough including bathroom and was very clean.

Arrived fairly late for my room after spending a little longer in Bruges, so I was only going to be there for sleeping before a mid morning flight the next day. Given the split of reviews on here I can confirm that it's far better than people make out. Yes there's no staff (which is indicated), yes your room door is a window (with full covering blind if you know how to use one of those) but for the price and the fact that it says its a Hostel it's pretty easy to understand. That said my bed was comfortable, my room was impeccably clean. The check in process was as easy as can be and I couldn't hear any flights taking off as others have mentioned. No issues with sound from other rooms on my visit as others have stated and I slept my night throughout without earplugs, however these are provided should they be needed. There is also a vending machine which I didn't use but is a good choice for late arrivals like myself.

All hostels in Leuven

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

The entire experience was great. I was travelling to attend a concert and met many like-minded people who I could go with. The place is ideal for backpackers and people who wish to meet new people while travelling. Breakfast was adequate for the price and the dorms were clean. Location is ideal as it is right next to the station and easily accessible.

This is one of the nicest and cleanest hostels I have been at. I took the double room which was very cozy and full of light, it had a small basin in the room which was very useful. The common toilets and showers were exceptionally clean. Great location and staff is super nice.
