However, to answer your question, the nearest hostel to Leiden is in Noordwijk:

From Leiden Central station, take bus 57 to the Brink stop in Noordwijkerhout. Walk to the end of the Dr. Spoellaan. Then take a right, walk along the large psychiatric hospital building and continue on the Langevelderweg. This street turns into the Langevelderlaan. Stayokay Noordwijk is located at the intersection of this street with the Randweg (facing the dunes). The walk takes 30 minutes. You can also get off one stop earlier and take a taxi.

However, when it comes to public transport, then the hostel in The Hague (Den Haag) may be a better option. There are frequent direct trains from Leiden Central to Den Haag HS (a 12 minute ride) and from there only a 5 minute walk.

The faculties of Leiden University are rather spread out over town. However, most of it is walkable to Central Station.
