“Comfort in the Heart of the City”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

I have stayed here on my last five visits to Leuven and I have enjoyed the hospitality of the place and the friendliness of the people. The big plus point is its location and the proximity to the places I normally visit in the city. However, there is always some or the other major roadwork going on in the vicinity that makes the last mile connectivity that much more difficult and exasperating. I do not have any hesitation in saying that I will be staying in the same hotel in May, 2012.

“Great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

Nice 3/4* hotel with a good location in the city center.
Friendly staff, good breakfast. Rooms were just OK.
Could use a bit of colour maybe to give it a better atmosphere.
Overall a good hotel with a delicious 'gelateria' just around the corner!

“Good, between 3 to 4 points”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

We were lucky to pay a lower rate for 2 nights because of a 40% Christmas discount, but I would never pay the normal rate otherwise. We must start saying that the front desk staff was very friendly and helpful at all times and that is very valuable. The breakfast staff was fine.

The cleaning lady was nice, but did not do a good job. First of all, she woke us up at 8.25am. In a way it was our fault because we did not put a "do not disturb tag", but we did not expect to be disturbed when we were staying 2 nights. We got ready and left for breakfast. When we came back, she had 'finished'. Yet, she had only cleaned the sink and almost finished tidying up our bed. She did not even notice she had left one of the pillows on the long table chair! When we arrived, she was using a scented spray in the entrance of the room. None of the waste baskets had been emptied nor the tops/counters undusted.

The underground parking is very good and safe, but too expensive. The normal breakfast price is €18 per person, which is extremely expensive, but we think we got it for a lot less because of the seasonal discount.

The hotel stands in a small shopping plaza and just a minute walk to Muntstraat, a small-cozy street full of good restuarants. Once you arrive at the end of that street, you are already at the Grote Markt! :-) Don't forget to go to the Touristic Information Center and ask for the City Walking route maps, which are very useful.

“Great - clean vfm”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011 via mobile

Good and great value for money. Ideal location - breakfast expensive 18euros so we go to domus where it's 10.50 euros and food is better.
