We did not understand that there were no private toilets and bathroom - they were shared. Having said this, they were clean and easily accessible, so considering the price, this was ok.

Very clean place, and very, very good location!

Good value for money, everything as advertised.

One toilet was out of service during my stay of 4 days. It smelt bad in the corridor. There needs to be more sockets to everyone in the room could charge their phones as we rely on them a lot all day as modern tourists.

The staffs were very friendly and could tall to them all day. The living area where I could chill and talk to other tenants. Showers worked fine and there was a locker to store important items I couldn't carry around everywhere.

The heating did not work well for me. It was turned off automatically at 11 pm but even with high setting during the day, it was quite cold for me in the night. That was only my concern causing disturbed sleep.

Clean rooms, good shared bathrooms. It was also quite convenient to reach main areas of Leuven as well as the train station within 10 mins of walk.

There are stains on the quilt, mattress and pillow； The cleaning lady and receptionist once came up to my room while I was asleep

excellent location, close to the main library of ku leuven

The room was a bit small For example the coat rack was taking too much space

It was very cozy and almost next to everything Certainly value for money

Noisy in the morning with loudly banging doors from within and some street noise from outside.

Great location. Kitchen and comfy lounge area with outdoor patio too.

the toilets, and really too expensive for a hostel.

the room was allright. Except the lack of a reading lamp. I had to change my towels myself. The two toilets at this floor were poor. One was broken, and the door of the other one didn't close.

Friendly but inefficient staff. Only two toilets out of four working and both out of toilet paper. I told staff (they were very polite)., but none came in four ours, so I grabbed some from. Non-working toilets to replace. Otherwise fine, if inconvenient to not be able to wash hands in toilet (other options available).

Location.

It was quite unusual to come across a man sleeping and snoring loudly in the common room. We weren't sure if he was a guest at the hostel, but it turned out to be a humorous anecdote during our stay.

During my stay at Leuven City Hostel, I was thoroughly impressed by the tranquility it provided. The peaceful atmosphere, coupled with exceptionally comfortable beds, made it a perfect place for much-needed rest. The hostel's commitment to maintaining a quiet environment allowed for a truly rejuvenating experience, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful getaway.

Rooms crowded. No individual lights or curtains.

Friendly staff. Good location. Free tea and coffee.

Reception staff refused to help me access my emails so I could print my train ticket home after having my wallet and phone pickpocketed in the Grote Markt. This subsequently stranded me in London after my flight home, with no money or way of contacting anyone. Luckily I have relatives in South West London, but I had to walk for 5 hours to reach them for help to get home (a further 3-4 hr train journey). I would be concerned for anyone vulnerable, anyone who had a longer journey, or anyone without contacts within reach of their destination. The situation could have been avoided if I had been allowed 3 minutes to access my email in the hostel.

Well equipped, comfortable hostel. Was ideal for a brief, lo-fi weekend stay in Leuven.

Maybe too many beds for available room square meters in the dorms. No AC, so during a heat wave like I had in June it will get a bit too hot in the rooms.

The common spaces are definitely a highlight. A nice cafeteria, beautiful and spacious living-room, a beautiful and generously sized kitchen. A nice quiet and green terrace with tables.

Whole facility is kind of dark.

The staff all are very nice and helpful. Great location.

The infrastructure is lacking. For example there is no lift or elevator. No attached bathrooms etc.

The staff are phenomenal and helpful

In the building there was a strange, subtle smell I didn't like... maybe changing the soap or improving the ventilation could help? I don't know.

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.

shared bathroom

good location, clean room, cozy place

Stayed in April 2023

Our room ideally needed more ventilation. Over a few nights the air became very thick and humid.

Very comfortable and well-equipped common and cooking area.

The location

Stayed in March 2023

Cleanliness in general was ok for the room but deficient for the toilets. There was a pipe/sewer smell all along in the staircase and our room was door to door with the toilets

Located close to the station and the center. Friendly stuff.

While the kitchen was nice, the fact that you could only cook between 9 am and 8 pm restrained its use quite a lot.

Stayed in March 2023

The heating was regulated for the first floor, and sometimes the room got very cold at night. The experience of going to the toilet was not nice, as you had to go with the key, and made lots of noise in the process. When sharing a room, this was not good.

The room was nice, with enough space. The kitchen had very good infrastructure for all our needs. The breakfast was awesome. People working at the place were very nice and helpful.
