Great hotel, great staff. Will always stay here!

I’ve stayed here several times and I absolutely love this hotel. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff are friendly and attentive. There were a couple very minor issues with the room when I first checked in, but the staff resolved them right away. The check in and bar/lounge area is very comfortable and makes it feel more like a friend’s house than a hotel. Location is great with lots of food/drink options very close by. I will always stay here whenever I’m in Leuven

Well appointed room in the centre of town. the Stadhuis and St Peter’s church is all within walking distance. Stayed for 1 night. Only issue just with the strength of the hotel Wi-Fi, but that could be because the room that was assigned is in the fringe of the hotel. But in any case, if I came back to Leuven, I would stay here again.
