I especially liked the position, how easy it was to reach any part of the city simply by walking around. The thing that troubled me the most would be the snoring roommates and some difficulty in finding the plugs to recharge my phone battery.

Hyggelige ansatte. Dårlig renhold og vedlikehold.

Radiator på rommet virket ikke. Støvete oppå lister etc. Tett vask på rommet. Ødelagt dør til ett av toalettene som ikke kunne lukkes. Veldig lytt fra gangen inn til rommet.

Qualité de l'offre

Convenable. A préciser dans l'offre que les sanitaires sont à l'extérieur et communs ( loin d'être propre) . Ce que j'ignorais lors de la réservation à moins d'avoir mal lu les détails !

Voordelig, betrouwbaar, dichtbij

Een goed hostel, met launch ruimte, keuken met waterkoker, magnetron (microgolfoven). Op loopbare afstand van het station en het centrum. Weinig op aan te merken.

Mediocre at Best

Wifi is very unreliable as are the showers and toilettes. Out of three showers adjacent to the 6-bed dorm in which I stayed, one had a broken shower head and another had a broken drain. There were three toilettes close to the room; however, only one worked. You will undoubtedly get precisely what you pay for in this case. As a pro: The lobby area, kitchen and garden area are clean and well-kept.

Perfect location, lovely little hostel

Stayed here for 1 night whilst attending a concert locally. Very clean, well decorated hostel with fantastic location. Leuven is a very pretty town, only 25 mins by train from Brussels. Hostel is a 10 minute walk from the train station and very easy to find. Nice, quiet hostel with cosy rooms and cute courtyard where you can sit out and enjoy the sun. The only minor complaint is that the room (3.1) could do with a fan as it gets very warm.

Eenvoudige hostel in centrum

Zeer vriendelijk personeel en goede ligging. Wel veel lawaai van toeklappende deuren en matrasveren.
