Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
When
are you open? The youth
hostel is open from 7am to 11pm every day (occasional -but rare- closure
between 11am and 3pm). The rooms are accessible from 3pm onwards on the day
of arrival. If you come with a group, you can book one of our function rooms from the
morning of your day of arrival until the evening of your day of departure
(rooms must be vacated by 10am). Free lockers are available in the corridor
and accessible all day. PLEASE
NOTE: unpaid reservations are valid until 6pm on the day of arrival. If you
are arriving later than that, let us know in advance or give us a ring on the
day itself to reconfirm your booking. If you have not arrived by 6pm, and we
haven't heard from you, we will assume you are no longer coming and might
give your beds away. Reservations with prepayment and on-line reservations are
valid until 10pm in any case, even without notification. It is not possible
to check in after 10pm, sorry. We will
be closed from 16 December 2007 until 13 January 2008. Do we
have to be "in" at a certain hour? Do we have to do chores? No, we
give you a magnetic key card that allows you to enter the building day and
night. Once you are checked in, you do not have to leave the building during
the day. We expect you to feel at home and to act accordingly: after
breakfast we would like you to clean up your own mess. Do leave the room in a
decent manner. But we do not have chores any more. Should
we bring sheets or a sleeping bag? Two
sheets and one pillowcase are included in the price. Blankets are present in
the room. Towels should be brought by you or can be rented at the reception.
Soap etc is not available. You do not have to bring a sleeping bag!
Why do
we have to bring our passports? The
Leuven police requires that every guest registers upon arrival in the hostel.
They check this every night. If you do not have a passport or id card with
you, we cannot allow you to stay in the hostel. Is
there a maximum age to stay in the hostel? No.
Everybody is welcome. There is a young atmosphere in the hostel and we do not
offer hotel service (wake-up call, breakfast on bed, ...) but if that is fine
with you, you are welcome! Is
there a maximum number of nights I can stay? You can
stay for up to six nights. Are
meals available? Breakfast
is included in the price. We serve it every morning from 7.30am to 9am. On
Saturday and Sunday morning, breakfast is served between 8am and 10am. You can
order a packed lunch upon arrival or beforehand. Dinner is available when at
least 15 people have booked it; however we serve snacks in the bar every
night. The rates are available here. Unfortunately we do
not have a members kitchen.
Do we
need a membership card? You must
have a membership card. You should buy this in your own country in an
official Hostelling International hostel. If you are already travelling, you
must purchase a Welcome Stamp for 3,00 EUR. If you collect 6 stamps, the card
counts as membership card. It stays valid for one year in over 4 000 hostels
worldwide. What
do your rooms look like? What else does the hostel have? Most of
our rooms are 4-person rooms. We have some 2- and some 6-person rooms as
well. All rooms have a toilet and a shower. Smoking, eating or drinking
is not allowed in the rooms. The youth
hostel has function rooms, a bar, a lounge with tv and games, a patio and a
restaurant.
