We stayed in this hotel via a 'hotelweek-deal' (EUR 55 for a double, incl. breakfast), so in that case this was value for money! When you enter Leuven (route via Antwerp, Mechelen, Brussels Zaventem) you arrive almost immediately in this hotel. At first you think the centre is far, but it is only a 10 minute walk to the historical... More

This is an excellent hotel to stay in the beautiful city of Leuven. The hotel have great garden around it and also boosts good rooms and excellent service. The restaurant and the breakfast is also good. Though one can not find too many restaurants nearby the hotel, but it will take hardly 15 minutes walking to reach the city center. More

Checked in at midnight and the room was cold. Very cold. Also had an odd smell which they obviously knew about and wouldnt fix as there was a floor standing electric air cleaner unit in the room. Odd. Had to turn the radiator on high, the shower on hot and the bathroom heater on high just warm kup the room.... More

This is a very good hotel to stay at if you are in Leuven for business. My room was spotless and quiet--unfortunately the decor is outdated. The simple and a modern bar/restaurant had good dinner choices and the morning buffett breakfast was wonderful. Good wi-fi access and helpful front desk staff made this a quality stay. Unfortunately, it is a... More

Leuven is a small city and most of the hotels arre close to the city centre. However, the city of Leuven is a student city and nighttime it could be a noise problem staying in the hotels in the middle of the city centre,¨ The Begijnhof hotel is located a bit outside the party centre, but you can walk to...

Nice hotel, good location, lovely grounds etc. Rooms not overly impressive, but clean and comfortable. Enjoyed a simple but excellent meal in the restaurant. Parking is confusing as you drive through a large car park in order to get to the hotel- no room to stop and check in and ask where the car park is, the sign indicates that... More

The hotel is at approx. 2 km walking distance from the centre of Leuven. What a nice feeling when you take your breakfast on the terrace: you are next to an impeccable garden in medieval style and you have a view on the surrounding houses dated from the 16 century. The hotel offers interesting weekend formulas and the price/quality rate... More

I had booked 2 rooms in the Begijnhof for friends and me and also got a confirmation of the reservation. But when we arrived we were told the hotel is overbooked and they sent us to another mediocre 3star hotel. As reason we were given: the system regularly overbooks, they can do nothing against it - well they could have... More

This hotel is an old convent conveted to hotel and restaurant. The rooms are spare but adequate. The restaurant is world class (there is an adjacent faculty club for Leuven University) and the breakfast room is one of my favorite places in the whole world. Service is generally excellent and the grounds are fun to wander around. The location is... More

Here it's all about location. The hotel is very well situated, easily accessible by car and adjacent to the Beguinage on a short walk (15 min) from the city center. But hey, you can reach any destination from anywhere in Leuven in about 15 to 20 minutes walk! The hotel is totally overpriced, rooms are poorly decorated, I had the... More
