Hotel, exceptionally clean, staff friendly,

Being on a motorway services, I accept it was only a short walk to the on site food and drink outlets, but after a 7 hour drive, we just wanted to stay in our room and rest.

I booked this hotel as it was the only one available close to the Leuven area. First, I thought the hotel was much nicer than I was expecting, with the hotel being at a highway rest-stop and a much smaller enclave of Leuven. In fact, if they could just transport this entire hotel to right into Leuven Center, i would give it 5 stars.
The hotel is inexpensive, however if you are planning on going into Leuven Center each day, your options are a $50 round-trip Uber ride or a 90 minute walk in each direction, so it may be cheaper in the long run if you're visiting Leuven to stay in a more expensive hotel in the city center.
The staff of the hotel was very nice and even let me check in a couple of hours early as my flight arrived early on a Sunday morning, and was helpful arraging taxi service for me during the week I was there.
The room was very clean. Since it is a dudget hotel, the bathroom is small as is the TV in the room.
Overall, if you're using this hotel as a rest point on your travels through Belgium, it is a great hotel. If you're staying here for a week for work closer to Leuven, then the money you are paying for taxi or Uber each day probably makes this a more expensive option then just staying at a more expensive hotel in the town center.
The hotel breakfast is standard for Europe. Duning options in the evening are limited to a Burger King and convienance store ar the rest stop. Anything else you have to spend the $50 to take Uber to Leuven round-trip for dinner

Calm, close to town & free parking

The hotel is situated on the M40 motorway Brussels - Liège but only 5-ish km away from downtown leuven.
It has a free parking unlike anywhere in Leuven.
Although situated on a busy motorway, I did not hear any car at all.
The rooms are spatious, the only downside is that the window does not open so no real fresh air is coming in. There is however, air conditioning.
The rooms could have a few more sockets and at least one USB socket on either side of the bed. Last time I checked we are living in the 21st century after all.
Hot water was available in a matter of seconds.
Personnel (admin as well as cleaning) is very friendly and helpful.

Very easy stopover in Belgium

My partner and I drive somewhere in Europe every summer and need to spend a night in a hotel en route. We've developed very specific criteria for these hotels, and this one passed with flying colours. It is very easily accessed off the motorway (it is physically attached to the service station) and has plenty of free parking to handle the transit van we are driving. Despite being a services hotel, it is clearly shiny and new with rather striking external decor. It is probably the nicest Ibis that I've encountered. The 24-hour reception got us into the room in under two minutes, with free wi-fi (albeit low signal) to help us plan the next day's route. There are also small roads connecting the service station/hotel with the roads into Leuven, and we used these to explore the town and find food/coffee before getting back on the road. Affordable, easy, always open, and wifi... ticks all the boxes.

Good Overnight stay at Ibis on E 40

This Ibis hotel is new and an excellent condition. The rooms are large, especially for an Ibis, and very comfortable. The windows are very large, letting in lots of light, but also provide privacy with etched glass. This is an autoroute motel similar to what one finds in the United States. It is a place for a good sleep, not a base for touring. Leuven is about a 15 minute drive. The only restaurant is associated with the hotel. We had a good - and reasonably priced - supper. The breakfast was expensive, either with the Ibis voucher for the breakfast buffet (14 Euros) or to buy a la carte.

Literally inside a truck stop on the freeway

The Ibis in Leuven was, to my surprise, literally inside a truck stop on the E-40 highway. I was not expecting this. There is a secret side entrance to get there if you approach on the opposite side of the highway and need to get across to the hotel side (north side inbound to Brussels), which also can get you into Leuven, which is a very nice city. The hotel was brand new and super clean, probably the nicest one I stayed at on my trip. There was a tiny bit of highway noise from my room, but it was not a problem to sleep. The airport was only about a 15 minute drive away which was super convenient for me.

Gratis parkeren naast het hotel, en vlotte verbinding naar Leuven en Gasthuisberg.

Basic ontbijt, helaas waren alle confituursoorten en de choco op en werd het fruitsap na 9 u niet meer aangevuld terwijl je kan ontbijten tot 10 u.
