Location is perfect. I was on the top floor and after entering my room there is a bathroom but then 15 stairs to get to my bed. Cute but not ideal if you have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Place is otherwise fine.

My neighbors were smoking out their window and since I had my window open I had to smell their cigarette smoke. That part of my stay absolutely sucked but it’s not the hotel’s fault.

Breakfast was included and decent enough.

I was told I couldn’t get anything later than a 11a check out.

The hotel location is convenient for someone travelling by foot. Very walkable city from the hotel’s location.
The building is cool on the outside. Very nicely restored. But it seems like most of the renovations funds were spent on the lobby and having an elevator. The rooms are rather dated. They also smell old, like the building is from 1800s. There mold is starting to grow on the bathroom caulking.
It is a perfectly fine place to sleep and have a quick shower, especially if you are booking last minute (like I usually do).

Could have been a better hotel.

Hotel is a nice hotel and is in a good location. Room that I was placed in was two stories. The beds were on the upper level. It was ok for me however the steps were step and I wouldn't think they would be suitable for someone that has trouble going up and down stairs. I was disappointed when the hotel lost hot water on a Saturday evening and did not seem to know until I informed them Sunday morning. They didn't notify anyone or leave any notes explaining what happened and when it would be fixed, which wasn't for another day, since maintenance does not work on Sunday's.

Close to the center, but not the best choice

The good: friendly staff, great breakfast (and a really nice breakfast room!), fantastic wifi connection, very central location, super nice building (from the outside)

The bad: the room was a disappointment - it looked very old and outdated (worse than some budget hotels), there was no airconditioning (only a fan), and it got a little warm at night; the mattress of the bed was still from the stone ages, I think - at least it felt that way; it was OK clean, but not great

The weird: I stayed on the third floor and there was this weird life-sized pirate statue, which strangely resembled a \"Pirates of the Caribbean\" character. I cannot even begin to imagine what they were thinking when putting him up there

Not Good

I checked in to find I'd been given a room that had not been cleaned. Beds had been slept in, bathroom was not clean. There is no staff at night, so I had to call the help desk, who then sent someone out to help. It took quite some time for help to arrive - it was late I was tired. I was eventually moved to a different room that had been made up. The beds - even in a double room are single, lumpy, uncomfortable and extremely narrow. I've never seen such a narrow bed and I kept waking up for fear of falling out. On a plus note, the staff are friendly and breakfast was good. I was given a bottle of champagne as an apology for the room fiasco which was a nice touch - but even if the room had been clean when I checked in, I still wouldn't have been happy.

Gets better as you grow to like it

First impressions are not great as you climb narrow stairs to get to small reception desk. So feels very much like a budget hotel. But don't be put off. Rooms perfectly acceptable and free WiFi throughout. My room had two very narrow single beds. Breakfast was included and this was excellent - and set in really modern breakfast room. So you can see the hotel is trying to be a bit different. A concession to the Theatre name seemed to include a life size Captain Jack Sparrow pirate on the 3rd floor landing. Bit of a surprise in the dark. Hotel has a bar/restaurant but seemed to have shut by 9:30pm when I arrived even though chap on front desk thought it would be open (at least for drink) until 10:00pm. But right in centre of old town and so plenty of places nearby. There are other budget big name hotels nearby (notably Ibis) so probably depends on how rates compare if you pick this one.

Hot, Cramped and Dark

The Hotel is in a good position and close to central parking, however this is not Hotel Parking but under the Market Square when you can find it. The Hotel reception is on the second floor and if you get rooms on the 3rd floor I hope you are fit!! This is not a hotel as such but a boarding type house with large room for Breakfast. Don't arrive expecting a bar and food, although there are plenty of places around you but they close at 22.00 PROMPT. The room was very hot, No air con but a noisy fan, The hotel were obviously aware of the issue with heat as the cold drinks from the Minibar were free to cope with the heat. Bedding is not changed daily so on a 2 night stay I had the same bedding, not usual for a hotel nowadays. There are better Hotels to stay at in the city as long as you book early and at the same price and free parking - Parking overnight is 15 Euro, 18 Euro all day.

Avoid this hotel.

We left after a few hours of not sleeping in sweltering heat on beds smaller than cots and mattresses that must have come from the city dump in a room that was simply a drywalled. I've travelled the world, this hotel ranks as my worst ever experience. Thankfully Expedia got us a full refund other than the first horrid night. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

Outstanding, smaller european style hotel

The former and historical Hotel Majestic, the Theater Hotel in central Leuven has been upgraded to modern standards, but retains some of the non plastic \"Old European\" aura of its predecessor. Perfectly located near central touristic sites and an easy walk to the Leuven train station, this hotel must be rated superlative in every respect. The breakfast is outstanding, the rooms clean and modern in amenities, the staff ever helpful. Street noise can a small problem when students are \"celebrating\" whatever, and a small lift is available to the upper floors. The views from those upper street facing rooms make up for the noise!

Another Very Pleasant Trip

My husband and I stayed at The Theater Hotel in Leuven, Belgium. We took the trip to visit our son and daughter-in-law who were expecting a baby. They did have the baby while we were there. Anyway, the hotel is very nice. We have been there before. It is comfortable, but the room was very small. There are no drawers to put clothing in, just some shelves. In the bathroom, there is no room to put toiletries, but we made the best of it keeping most of our things in suitcases. The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Also the breakfast in the morning is delicious. There are cereals, fruit and yogurt. There is also juice and milk. The eggs and omelets are delicious and so are the different breads. There is plenty to eat (coldcuts also). The breakfast room is bright and very comfortable. The hotel is located in a convenient spot with restaurants and shopping all around. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would return.

romantic get away

stayed here with my boyfriend for 2 nights... it's strange that the concierge is located on the 2nd floor so you have to either take the cramped elevator or stairs to get there (not ideal if you have heavy luggage) the front desk was very nice and gave us information about the town leuven and places to eat as well as a map. at first, i was creeped out by the dark red hallway and the lifesize captain jack sparrow next to the elevator on the 3rd floor. but honestly it's all about location, location, location. our cozy room faced the theater across the street and you could open the windows to enjoy the scenery. we spent the night drinking wine by the window ledge. it's a view that even the 4 star hotel we had stayed at brussels lacked. overall, the room was kempt and the prices on their mini bar wasn't exorbitant. you pretty much get what you are paying for. don't forget to ask for a room facing the theater!

Great location in the centre of the historic city. Great staff, friendly, helpful and attentive. Good breakfasts in the bright, spacious Art Gallery room on the first floor, overlooking the main St. Rooms are not large but adequate with space for luggage. Bathrooms have been nicely updated. If you are a light sleeper or have an early appointment ask for a room at the rear of the hotel. The view may not be great but you will avoid the late night enthusiastic revelers.

The Theater Hotel is on the main street that leads from the train station to the cathedral, right across the street from the city theater. Close to everything in the heart of the town, this is a boutique-style hotel with a small number of rooms and excellent service. A full, warm breakfast every day and a goodly sized room. Very good value for money. Guests with a room on the third (highest) floor get to enjoy the life-size statue of a pirate at the top of the stair and lift.
