Very nice hostel in a beautiful new house in in the center of Leuven.Full recomendation. Little critics: In my dorm too many beds for roomsize and no lockers. Lockers in the hall (5 € deposit). From 8pm no staff and not permitted to cook anymore. Not many atmosphere between travellers when I was there (social competent staff or resident in the evening could maybe help ?) Breakfast included and good

Reception time should be extended. Its highly inconvenient for those who are unable to arrive at the times prescribed. Power sockets could be placed at more accessible points when it comes to beds placed on the top. Some cheese for breakfast would be nice.

In front of some slight problems with the room and the luggages the staff was not helpful and sometimes rude.

Excellent hostel, very nice and clean. But it really needs a new owner. Most unfriendly person I have met ever.

Everything about the experience of staying at Leuven City Hostel was fantastic. I was sent several helpful reminder/confirmation emails with information about my visit beforehand. The people are the reception desk (the owners) were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and gave us some great local information about the area. The facility was spotless and tastefully arranged. The breakfast was delicious (fruit, fresh bread and yogurt.) All in all a wonderful experience. Would recommend!!!

Hostel was very nice in terms of comfort and location, however very strange vibe. There was hardly anyone staying there, and for people looking to go out and party I certainly would not recommend it. If you're looking for a good night of sleep then this is the place, otherwise steer clear.

Myself did not have a problem with check in and out hours and the gentleman who replied me emails was very kind and explained everything in detail, yet I would highly recommend extending the check in hours.
