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.

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. Saving energy is 1 thing but this place is ridiculous. Sent an iron to my room that was obviously broken. Had booked 2 nights here but checked out after 1. Looks better on the outside than it is on the inside. Would recommend the Mercure above this place.

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My room was spotless and quiet--unfortunately the decor is outdated.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 bit farther than one would want to walk if you are carrying baggage to and from the train station. Parking is confusing (and expensive) at the hotel and limited (and even more expensive!) in the city. This is a bike laden city of students so arrive by train, take a cab to the hotel with your bags and walk/bike or take transit during your stay.

The weather was quite poor while I was visiting so I was only able to catch a glimpse of the gardens through fog. This is probably a highlight in the spring and summer.

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!
