The room was clean and the staff were nice. The breakfast was excellent. It was served in the coach house which made the setting unique. They had a variety of different foods to choose from. The bread selection was top notch. The grounds were beautiful and a nice quiet sanctuary after a day of touring. They have a self service honor bar with a nice variety of local beers and snacks. I would stay here again.

Great hotel, well positioned for town centre

I had a great stay at this really pleasant hotel, close to the heart of Leuven and on the edge of the medieval Begrijnhof. Very modern and comfortable interior and excellently positioned for walking into town or the botanical gardens. Beware of a lot of cobblestones, though!

Convenient hotel in Leuven

This is a very nice hotel located near some of the historic university buildings in Leuven. It's a 15 minute walk to the town centre so it is conveniently located. It's also across the road from the OH Leuven football stadium so if you're in town for a match, its very handy for that. Breakfast was good and the honour bar was well stocked. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Obe downside is it lacks a restaurant for the evening but there are plenty of very good restaurants in Leuven.

7 night stay.

We had a really nice stay, 7 nights. Only a couple of points, there is no draws in the room, so you have to leave the small things on show. We never had breakfast, as we know the area, having lived there for 12 years, but at €25 euros seems quite expensive.

Liked this property. Rooms were compact but very clean and cleverly designed to maximise space, although the bathroom areas were a little cramped. The shower was open to the room separated by just a curtain and a 2-way mirror, so not too much privacy, in case that might be an issue for you. But the whole space was nicely decorated and thought out. Beds were comfortable, and again sensible design allows you to store a number of suitcases easily in the room. Only real thing missing from the room was a bedside table.
Staff were very friendly and helpful, and the grounds/garden were really nice to spend time around. It is walking distance into the town, with the immediate environs consisting of mediaeval streets as if they hadn't been touched in hundreds of years. We didn't choose breakfast (€22) so cannot comment on the quality but it did look like a reasonable spread of a continental breakfast. The gym area was not so useful, a small room with 3 machines in it, but at least there is one.

Would definitely return for a short stay, although the rooms may be a little too compact for longer stays.

This is a beautiful hotel, but they should have warned us that there would be construction noises when we booked. It was too late by the time we arrived to check in. 9:00 is not terribly early, but we were exhausted from traveling.
Also, we booked a room for three people -- there were only two coffees and not enough towels. When my son called down for an extra pillow for his bed (the main bed had two pillows each per person) someone showed up and handed him a pillow without a pillowcase. Otherwise, we had a nice stay -- the beds were very comfortable and the room was clean and spacious. The problems were pretty minor, but seemed worth noting, because it's a relatively expensive place to stay, and those things were surprising.

I have stayed in this property before and always loved it. This time I was traveling for leisure and decided to book there as well.. as expected it was a clean hotel... beautiful garden, friendly staff
But what I did not expect (nor did the staff) was an issue with the air quality in my room. Why I give 5 stars is the way they handled the issue
1. They were overbooked - so could not move me
2. they called the technical staff and it appears they could not fix it
3. they called another hotel, booked me (with breakfast), booked a cab - all on their dime!

I cannot say any Marriott or Hilton had ever done this to even their elite customer (which I am)

I will stay here again.... service like theirs is what makes a stay worthwhile

Overpriced

This hotel is in an amazing location but overpriced (ie. parking is 12 euros/night, breakfast is 19 euros pp.) No real help was given to find alternative parking, and cleaning/housekeeping service was minimalist to say the least: after 3 days, the bed was only folded back, stains of coffee mugs still there on every surface, sink and shower left untouched. Rooms are small, to the point of thinking twice, if you're both standing up, on whether you really want to go put that wrapper in the bin or better wait till he's in the loo (so tiny his knees are touching the door, and so poorly insulated I can hear everything)

Extremely comfortable hotel with modern details here and there. Amazing back yard, patio and dining area.

Location is about a mile from the bus and train station. I just walked and enjoyed seeing all unique things to the area. Like the hundreds of bicycles university students use for transportation.

Also there’s a beautiful, preserved 19 century village just right behind the hotel. Enjoyed exploring that one morning.

Clean and well cared for traditional hotel

This is a very nice but very old fashioned hotel. Its been well cared for, and is very clean, but it feels a bit like 1970 with the laminate decor and trouser press. That said, I would certainly stay there again. The staff were lovely and the rooms very spacious by European standards.

Disgruntled customer

What turned out to be a relaxing break at this hotel with amazing, peaceful gardens and would have had a great review apart from the lack of customer service. The hotel took the payment twice and after being told I would receive a full refund of the second payment taken in error, we have been home one month and only received some of the refund. In 11 e mails I had a response twice and the second e Mail said the refund was on its way only for the amount to be down by £65. I cannot get any response from the management of this hotel by e mail or phone, always told to ring back and no sign of the amount being sent back to me. Also sent two e mails to Hotels.com and again no outcome from them also

The hotel is located slightly away from the Leuven city center, but easily accessible and located in the historical part of the city (Begijnhof). Staffs are very nice and ready to help to their best.

Noisy room and ignoring staff

It's the worst 4-star hotel I've ever stayed in Europe. I regret that I booked this hotel without having checked out reviews in advance. I suffered from the same situation that another 1-point reviewer Leon pointed out: there is a constant buzz of a transformer in the room. What's worse is the attitude of the staff. It seems that they have used to being complained about the same issue. They just ignored.

By the way, the locker does not work at all because there is no battery. The toilet paper was broken.

Excellent Hotel. Well worth a visit!

Lovely hotel, beautiful location on edge of location. Breakfast was excellent, hotel facilities very good. Would highly recommend.
Only downside was at check out. When I told receptionist I had been charged for a night in the bar and We had not set foot in the bar, she was irritated. After a few moments on her computer she ripped up the first bill and printed a second one (minus the bar bill) and put it on the counter with no apology or explanation. other than that, all was excellent.

Great hotel!

Great hotel, located in a historic building in surrounded by greens and river. Very quiet area and ~10 min walk to the center. The staff was friendly and very informative. Very good breakfast.
The room was a bit small comparing to 4* US hotels.

Room are just standard - nothing fancy. I recommend asking in advance for a room with A/C in the summer period as it may get very hot.

Gem in the City

We did not stay in downtown Leuven this time as we had a rental car which meant the need for parking. The hotel is conveniently located near the highway, but was surprisingly quiet. The garden was meticulous and impressive. We had a great dinner there. Food was good and staff pleasant. The room was spacious and clean. The only suggestion for improvement I make would be the shower. The glass was too small and only covered one-third of the tub, so water kept spilling onto the floor. Otherwise it was a perfect little gem in the outskirts of the city and we will certainly return.

Comfortable hotel.

Comfortable hotel but quite difficult to find - the signing for the hotel is obscure, where it is placed behind a public car park. The rooms are old but comfortable. I did have an issue with one of the towels in the bathroom which had a couple of long black hairs attached to them. The breakfast was very good and it is a nice dining hall.

A quality hotel

We found this hotel to be absolutely lovely. It was immaculately clean and well cared for. The level of service was high and we were well looked after.
The room was roomy and had very comfortable beds and warm quilts.
It is situated well within walking distance to the town centre and well sign posted. It has excellent car parking in front of the hotel for 12 Euros a night with a coded barrier to get out.
We dined in the restaurant and we were well satisfied with both the quality of the food and the service received. Good choice for breakfast too.

Terrible, please read this before booking!

I don't often leave reviews, but I have to warn anyone staying in this hotel, it was quite honestly the crappiest place I have ever stayed in, the staff were ignorant and discourteous, the room had the constant buzz of a transformer and looked as thought it was decorated in the 70's, dirty tiles, rust ceiling, you get the idea. It was massively over priced and quite honestly had better experiences the most budget B&B's

comfortable bed and nice garden

This is a nice hotel with friendly staff. I had a double bed which was comfortable and the room was average size and clean. There was a coffee maker in the room but did not use it and there was no tea making facility. The Flat sceen TV was nice with lots of English channels. However for 4 star hotel expected better quality of towels and the car park was expensive at 12 Euros as the free parking was further away. The location was great for my business and also easy access to the town centre. The restaurant food menu was limited and as otherwise one has to go to town centre.

Very smart, decently priced hotel

Decently priced hotel with good location. Walking distance of old market square with bars & restaurants, but also handy for access to major routes by car. The one way system is a bit of a pain - you can only get to it from one direction but that's about the only criticism I have.
Spent two separate nights here on way to and back from Stuttgart.

Rooms were fine - sufficient space for twin. Very clean and well maintained hotel. Well staffed so didn't have to wait at any time at Reception. Helpful staff who spoke good English.

Would definitely use it again if opportunity arises - Leuven itself is a good place to stop off - beer capital of Belgium? .

Ideal Location in Lueven

Great location but in need of modernising to meet todays standards. I would recommend the hotel to anyone visiting Lueven as its an ideal location and by far the best out of very little choice in the area. They have great hotel staff willing to do all they can by providing excellent tour info and guides for cycling etc. As for the hotel it lacks modern facilities such as air conditioning in rooms and has a feeling of being in the past with old style wall hairdryers and a large CRT TV.

Lovely clean modern hotel

Pleasant, quiet comfy hotel. We asked for a third bed in a twin room and were given a full-sized divan bed, so all 3 of us slept comfortably. Decent sized bathroom. No kettle, but espresso machine with 1 coffee each per day. Nice outdoor spaces, and convenient buses for station. Easy walk to centre, via old convent building. Breakfast a little overpriced especially as sliced bread was stale and the salmon ran out. Overall satisfied.

Quiet and relaxing

Multiple stays over the last 20 years have convinced me that this is the best place to stay in Leuven. Always a welcome reception with comfortable rooms, free wifi and in room coffee, a great breakfast and quiet surroundings. It's not in the center of town, but it's a small town easily managed by walking. Parking your car is a bit expensive on top of the regular hotel rate.

Great hotel, a little far from the center

Hotels in Europe are usually small and old. This one was not. It was clean, rooms were big enough with comfortable bed and a large bathroom. The breakfast was great too. It had a very nice secluded back yard that is perfect to relax in after a day of walking. The only drawback for me was that it was a little far from the center of the city. But I did not mind walking at all as long as I had my comfortable shoes on. Just consider that if you decide to stay at this hotel.

Top service

Heel lekker en uitgebreid ontbijt - zeker ook qua kazen. De bediening was heel hartelijk. Ook de receptie zelf was supervriendelijk: we konden onze bagage nog even achterlaten in de luggage room na checkout en toen we die - na een sportevenement - terughaalden, werd ons ook aangeboden om nog een douche te nemen. Heel nice service!
