Great location. Excellent breakfast included in the rate. Quiet. Comfortable.
But be aware if you have mobility issues or heavy luggage, there is no lift and the rooms are on the third and fourth floors.
We will definitely stay here next time we are in Leuven.
We arrived to check in to discover that the proprietor had made a mistake and given our Comfort room to somebody else. The only other room in the hotel was a Standard one. However the proprietor offered us a self catering apartment just a very short distance from the hotel. This was very comfortable and didn't spoil our stay at all. The proprietor and all the staff were very friendly and helpful.
Located in a great area of Leuven, the hotel looka nice from the outside, however it wasn't necessarily that clean of a room. It was a bit frustrating that I had to climb to the 4th level for my room, however they did warn about no elevator. The stay was nice, and Leuven is a nice town to stay in

Not the most modern, but good service.
Not the most modern hotel, rather "vintage", but offers good service at a reasonable price. Conveniently located opposite the Leuven railway station, and at a 10 min walk from the historical centre. I usually stay here when I have business meetings in Brussels, as Leuven is much more pleasant compared to Brussels. By train it takes 15 mins to Brussels airport and 25 mins to Brussels centre.

Service was generally ok with the staff mostly friendly. The maitre d’hotel ( at less he seemed to be) was extremely friendly and helpful.
Being so close to the main Leuven railway station the location is perfect for train travellers.
The hotel’s decoration and the general infrastructure is in dire need of renovation and modernisation.
The room was dark and dreary and there was an “old carpet” smell throughout the entire hotel.
The bed’s matrice was very very soft, the softest I’ve ever slept on. If you like a super soft bed then this is good for you (e.g. if you don’t already have back pain).
There is no lift so beware if you have difficulties climbing many stairs.
Breakfast was usually in the hotel’s own restaurant, but for our first breakfast the restaurant was closed and we were asked to walk outside and around the corner to another restaurant for breakfast.
Unfortunately we were given the wrong opening times & breakfast was finishing at 09:00 am when we arrived. We managed to collect a few morsels & coffee just before they cleared the breakfast away. At least the coffee was excellent, if not the food.
Subsequent breakfasts were served each morning within the hotel itself. The food was “ok”, but the coffee was awful. The background music during breakfast was largely heavy rock and very loud, though it was strangely amusing eating breakfast to the overly loud tones of “Stairway to Hell”.
Just stayed there one night (had flight in the morning from BRU). Great for a one night stay. It’s basically across the street from the Train Station. Easy walk to historic centre and lots of dinning options. No a/c which meant that I had to leave the windows open. It was a bit noisy with traffic and people on the street making noise.

Everything good but no electricity all night and in the morning - had to shower and pack in darkness so cannot leave a positive review.
The hotel has a highly convenient location across from the train station. Breakfast was nice & the rooms have the basics needed for any traveler. The building is older & sound insulation is a bit lacking. So, stick to reading to avoid disturbing your neighbors but expect to hear them whenever they flush a toilet.
Fantastic location, right in front of the train station. Rooms are spacious, clean and well-designed. There is no kettle, but I knew this and bought my own! As mentioned by others, you have to climb up some steep flights of stairs. Not an easy task if you are less mobile or if you have heavy suitcases. I was on the second floor and had to climb up 4 flights of stairs.
Breakfast was simple and tasty. The same could not be said of the dinner I had in the Café. Pricey and bland.
Service (from all parties) was excellent and friendly. All in all, a great stay.
The ladies greeting you when you arrive seem annoyed that you are distracting them from their restaurant job. The stairs to the unit are long and steep. They could be a problem for many people, but the gentleman who helped us check in was quick to proactively offer to carry our luggage if we needed. The room was very dusty and dirty. This may be in part to the window needing to be open in order to get air circulation. The room setup is nice, but the air circulation is a problem because the sounds and smells from the street outside can be quite strong. These ridiculous tourist charges are not the properties fault, but the lack of transparency on them and the constant raising of them is an annoying extra that isn't explained and is off putting. The location is great, but there are many other properties in this area and some of them have to be better, but if you stay here it won't be a disaster, just not as pleasant as you would hope. As the property feels disorganized and most staff are not customer oriented.
When we arrived builders were erecting scaffolding all over the front of the building. It was difficult to get into the hotel due to the lorry parked in front of the entrance. There is no lift in the building so you have to climb up stairs which are quite narrow and with carpet which is not secured. We were shown our room on the 1st floor which was had a strong damp smell. We complained to hotels.com who did little to help other than to say to contact the hotel manager. When we complained we were offered another room on the top floor. This was secure and did not smell of damp. However the room had dampness in the bathroom, the furniture was badly stained so we could not place clothes on it. The double bed had been laid with single sheet on a very old and worn mattress topper, which we did not want to touch with our skin, do we slept that night with our under clothes on. At breakfast was the only highlight - lovely freshly baked bread. All told a waste of €100 at a hotel I could never stay at. Hotels.com should remove it from their website and refund our money as what is shown is nothing like the reality - dirty, dingy, dangerous and dilapidated.
