If you really prefer a hostel over a hotel you might want to check the youth hostel in Leuven. It is located next to the railway station and the train will take you in about 20 minutes to Brussels central station (beer event and bus to fosdem).
The main disadvantage: you will have to leave the friday beer event early enough to catch the last train at midnight (or take the first one at 4 ;-) )

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a bed in a hostel for Friday and Saturday night (the
6th and 7th). Trying being the operative word. Can't seem to find any
space anywhere. Why do I always leave these things too late?!

If anyone has a spare bed in a room, or knows somewhere that has space,
do let me know!

Thanks,

Allan
