Large comfortable room in central location. Unfortunately, breakfast not included, although general listing on hotels.com indicated breakfast would be included. No one at reception desk for proper checkout, so left the key after vacating the room.

Liked: Room comfort
Bed was comfortable.
I had two full conference days and breakfast was served quite late so I couldn't make use of the service. As compensation I recieved a breakfast bag the evening before. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable but the rest of the hotel was a bit outdated.
Room was fairly clean but very old, tired and dingy. No proper shower and the door to our room was difficult to lock and unlock.
Location good, check in and out arrangements vague and desk left unmanned most of the time. (phone number provided is disconnected).
The hotel was listed as having on site parking however the nearest car park is an 8 minute walk away and is a public underground garage.

The location of the hotel is great, in the very center of the city. However, the hotel is not maintained at all. A lot is broken (window, toilets, shower, drawers...). The people there are not really professional even if friendly. Breakfast was supposed to start at 7:30 but nothing was ready at that time. At 7:40 the waiter went away to the bakery and did not come back until 7:50. I needed to leave at 8:00.

Sunn og god frokost, bra valgmuligheter rundstykker, croissant. Egg m.m. og god kaffe
Meget sentral beliggenhet i en fantastisk by. Noe støy fra gaten, men ikke mer enn forventet. Topp serviceinnstilt vertskap. Vi kom med bil og hadde fin parkering like ved.
Hotellet ligger mitt i stad. direkt mitt i stad. ca 10 min gångavstånd från centralstationen, 6 min till fantastiska botaniska trädgården. Allt ok på hotellet, fina rum, varje dag nya handdukar, hotellet men behöver renovering. Bra personalen, gott frukost, super drinkbar!!! Tyvärr, svårt att sova på grund av hög ljud från gator upp till klockan ca 2 på natten
Midden in de stad Leuven, met zicht op het raadhuis.
Studentenstad, en dat is 's nachts dan ook te horen.
Oordopjes hebben de 2e nacht dan ook goed geholpen. Volgens de mensen van het hotel, is dit gelukkig niet elke nacht te doen.
Verder hebben wij een heerlijk verblijf gehad.

Hyggelig betjening og ok hotell, men discotek rett over gata, veldig mye folk i gatene, samt ingen aircondition, ga en søvnløs natt.

Geweldig centrale ligging voor gunstige prijs
Hotel ligt pal bij Oude Markt en historisch stadhuis. Is wel ietwat gedateerd en behoeft onderhoud. Wel schone en ruime kamer. Hou in weekend er rekening mee dat het rumoerig op straat door uitgaanspubliek is.

Cheap, central Hotel
Extremely helpful staff, central location and good breakfast.
Interieur a little dated, but considering the price, you cannot complain at all about it.
