The room and common area were very cosy. Toilets and showers had lockers so that you could have some privacy. The kitchen was very well equipped and everything seemed to work perfectly.

Absolutely 10 out of 10, I loved everything about it. The place is next to a major church and walking distance to everything I was interested in Brussels. I loved the facility and the people there were all lovely. I can’t believe how much I would enjoy a hostel. Thank you everyone for the lovely experience!

I like the location, room, and breakfast, but mostly, I like the service. The staff at the hostel is the best, especially Maxime and Gulia, who were very kind and helpful. They did their best when I had questions about the city and asked to leave my luggage after check-out. I`m very greatful them and during my next trip to Belgium I know for sure where I`ll stay.

Small and cozy hostel runs by its owner Ioanna, who was super friendly, polite and so welcoming (even a chocolate included 😋). She speaks really good spanish and english by the way. Great location. It's just 20 min on foot from here to the Grand Place and downtown or you have the subway nearby (Botanique Station). Big lockers, I could fit my suitcase and bagpack there (key included, no padlocks needed). Spacious room, well organized and clean, comfortable bed and pillow. Great kitchen with enough cuttlery, plates, pans, boilers and everything to cook as at home. Microwave included also. I stayed 4 nights in this hostel and the place felt safe and I don't have any complains about it. I would definitely come back here if I decided to come back to Brussels one day 😁 Thank you Ioanna, wish you the best!!

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.
