Leuven City Hostel

Convenient location, friendly staff, we thought it was a good value until the above two unfortunate events occurred.

Another guest or staff entered our room at 730 in the morning while we were sleeping. Not sure how another guest would've had access to our private room or why a staff would enter the room before we checked out, but we were shocked to be rudely awakened in our sleep by this unknown stranger. Furthermore, as the bathroom doors were positioned so close together, it was possible for an unclosed bathroom door to block another door from opening fully, trapping a member of our travelling group inside a bathroom. It would be more challenging for solo travellers to escape the bathroom in such situations as they would need the help of a kind stranger to open the door from the outside. The hostel may benefit from posting signs to ensure that the guests fully close the bathroom door at all times to prevent such unfortunate situations from occurring, especially so that no one may be left stuck inside the building during emergencies such as a fire.
