Central Leuven hotel
Pros:

Comfortable bed, small but good shower. Choice of food at breakfast was good. Great location for anything central. Staff were all helpful.

Cons:

The rooms are small. I was on my own, but I imagine sharing would be an intimate experience.

sehr kleine Zimmer und extrem hellhörig
Pros:

Es gibt kostenloses Wasser, Kaffee und Tee in der Lobby.
Das Frühstück ist ganz gut.
Die Lage ist sehr zentral.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind wahnsinnig klein und extrem hellhörig (nach innen). Die Zimmertüren sind so konstruiert, dass sie zwingend mit einem lauten Krachen ins Schloss fallen. Das hört man dann auf der ganzen Etage. Auch wenn der Zimmernachbar (etwas lauter) telefoniert, versteht man jedes Wort und die Gespräche auf dem Flur sowieso.
Die Zimmer sind so klein, dass man kaum zwei Koffer gleichzeitig öffnen kann. Und im Bad kann man sich gerade mal so umdrehen.

Solid stay in the heart of Leuven with great parking. Clean, simple, efficient.
Pros:

I was traveling alone and rented the smallest room in the place with a twin bed. It was actually pretty comfortable and the paid parking worked out great because the Ibis is really close to the heart of the city and made everything walkable. If you know the Ibis brand this hotel was on brand. I had a good solid stay, in a clean, quiet room in the heart of the city. It was exactly what I expected, nothing fancy or memorable but on point and a fair price for a room in this proximity of Leuven.
