The property was showing the age, but still good for your needs. The door was very small, hard to notice. I ended up spending an hour trying to get into the big neighboring gym of the same name. The elevator was out of order from the beginning to the end of my three nights stay and it seemed the repair would take longer to happen. The reception was nice to help me carrying the suitcase up and repeated that the repair was coming the next day. It would be nice if there a little shelf or a simple anything in the bathroom to hold the little bag of tooth brush and other cleaning necessities. I had to carry all of baggages from the 3d floor down when leaving in the morning when the reception was not available. The kitchen was good but lacked a kettle for those who had to drink hot or boiled water. Also, a toaster would be great.

I have no idea why this place is allowed to list such place on hotels.com. the room was not clean, the shower was broken in hot weather I had to shower in a broken shower...no staff was at the reception so no one was there to help. The window was broken and I couldn't close it and so the noise outside didn't allow me sleep...with the same price I could go to a more reasonable place but thought the location compensate for everything else which didn't

Great location of the property, in the middle of Leuven’s city centre. That was probably the only positive.

The website for the apartment said there was lockers at select locations. This was not a location with lockers nor did they have anyone on reception before 3pm or after 8pm.

The room was a lot smaller, in fact completely different than the images on Expedia with the sofa bed and twin beds next to each other instead of being in seperate areas like what was portrayed in the images.

The room we were in was on the top floor. It was very hot, two fans were provided but they didn’t do anything. No air-conditioning and one of the windows was broken so couldn’t even open. It made being in the room completely unbearable.

Additionally, there was mould all over the bathroom.

Don’t stay next to the lift, good otherwise

The apartment was clean and tidy however our particular apartment was near the lift and whilst you expect some noise from the lift ping, people talking etc this was crazy. Every time the lift was in operation it make creaking and clunking noises whilst it was moving that kept me and my family awake all night. I informed the reception and eventually received a reply saying sorry but not how they would address the issue. Everything else was very good but the main thing with an apartment or hotel is to get a good nights sleep but this was impossible in apartment 506, if you stay here make sure you are not near the lift, I’m sure you will have a good stay if you are not next to the lift as everything else is very good.

Great location, poor experience

This is a very well located hotel that is only a few minutes walk from some great food spots - however the hotel seems to have gone downhill since my stay in 2019.
We were not given the room we booked, and when I questioned it the receptionist insisted it was correct (but I had booked a room with a double bed and we were given twin beds).
The room was also very loud and as mentioned by other reviewers, you can hear music and shouting from a nearby venue. It's also very loud in terms of noise from the apartments above, and our room was also right next to the lift shaft so we had to listen to the constant squeaking of that at all hours.
The decoration is also quite poor with some very odd images of topless men breaking eggs in the lift.
The hallway to the apartments also smelled like rubbish throughout our stay though thankfully that did not spread to the apartment.

Good stay, but hope you don’t face any issue

We stayed for a total of 4 nights and then another 2 nights.
Our first stay was flawless, from check in to check out, with the room being really good.
For our second stay of 2 nights, the elevator was broken and we were at 5th floor which was not at all comfortable. The person at the reception was kind to help us with our bag.
Also for our second visit, the shower was broken with a leak and we could shower with a very slow flow.
Because the reception is manned only during 3-8, we could not even complain to them about the shower.
Overall it’s a decent place to live, just that because of resource constraints, if you face issues they won’t be resolved quickly.

A very utilitarian, minimalist room. It should have been cleaner. All kinds of dust on the bedside table and under the bed, clearly visible. They only give you one face towel and one bath towel, and were flustered when I asked for an extra pair so I could have a bath mat towel and one for my hair (they gave them to me but first had to make me realize just how special a favor it was). Cleaning was extra. The location is very central and convenient, but the bar across the street was a bit loud at night. No air-conditioning. The entrance to the place is easily missed and not very nice. It's OK for a few nights.

Sofa bed instead of Double bed?

The first thing I would say is “check your booking”! We booked a studio apartment and didn’t check properly. We were therefore surprised to find that the set up was a single bed with a double sofa bed. I simply can’t understand why this is the case? I cannot imagine that anyone would want a single bed when there is ample space for a double bed. The sofa bed is not particularly comfortable, particularly after a demanding day at Rock Werchter.

That said, the apartment is clean, bright and nicely decorated. The bathroom is well equipped as is the apartment in general. There is a fridge, two burner hob and microwave if you want to carry out minor food preparation and cooking.

The apartment is perfectly located for the Station (10 minute walk). Grote Markt (5 minutes walk) and Oude Markt (8-10 minute walk).

I would recommend Getaway but still don’t understand why there isn’t a double bed?

We paid a difference for a double bed room, to find out we had to pull two single beds together to make it a double bed which we did not, not to expose the dirt and dust on the wall sides of the beds. The single beds are far from being a regular single bed size, they are very narrow, and will give you a back pain. Same goes for the cheap pillows, I woke up every morning with a neck pain.
The cleanliness is questionable, windows had water marks, dishes and cabinet doors had grime. There were cigarette butts outside the windows. There was also an offending smell on the corridor outside of our room all throughout our stay.
Self parking was advertised as 10 euros a day but during check in we found out that it in fact was 15 euros. The location was very good, but considering how small Leuven is almost every competition is nearby or at a reasonable walking distance.

I checked in after the reception closed. I checked out and nobody was at the reception. I didn't see any maids. They only clean the room weekly so since I was there 5 days they didn't clean my room... therefore it is like renting a studio apartment (an expensive one)... My only complain is that since they have a kitchen in the rooms it is expected that some guests will cook. Well there was no information were to put any trash if you wanted to empty the trash can on your own (or if there was information... it wasn't easily visible as I didn't see it)

The Getaway was perfect for a four-night stay.
