“Small, quiet, and high standard”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 October 2011

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 the city hall in about 8 minutes. The advantage of this is that you will have a good nights sleep and still be close to all attracttions.
The hotel itself is a small and intimate hotel. You can talk to the same barstaff and receptionstaff each day, and they often remember your name or room nr. The food is great, and the service is dedicated and attentive.
Make sure youre asking for a room away from the staircase and the fitness room, because you might experience some noise in this vicinity.
Try a glass of Champagne in the bar ( EURO 8) and you will get a snack/food suprise from the chef included!

Room Tip: Ask for a quiet room, away from the staircase and away from the fitness-room

“Expensive”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011

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 you need to get a pass code from reception to get in. Car park too small, and not enough room for all the cars,
and you are charged for the privelege.
Very expensive though, cant see the justification for these prices, other than they can get away with it. At times Hotels in Leuven are obviously in short supply.

“great place next to the beguinage”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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 was very good: a breakfast buffet with all the trimmings, a big and clean room, no noise during the night. Our only negative remark: the night guard at the reception desk was very helpful and friendly (the parking lot in the front of the hotel was full and he explained were we could find a spot for our car) but the two young ladies who had to help the guests with the check-in/out on Sunday morning were apparently unable to smile.

“Despite booking no rooms”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 July 2011

person found this review helpful

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 called or mailed us before we arrived after a 3 hours trip!!!

“Wonderful Place to Stay in Leuven”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 April 2011

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 near (but not walking distance) to the old city.
