Séjour agréable
Pros:

Chambre très spacieuse et accueillante, vaste salle de bain bien équipée. La literie est confortable et l'équipement top.

Cons:

Les vitrages sont trop fins, l'activité extérieure est fortement ressentie. Les nombreux luminaires donnent une ambiance sympa mais ces luminaires sont tous indépendants, il faut les gérer un par un.

A solid place to stay
Pros:

I liked the general vibe of the old building, it really was a nice place to spend time and I would have loved a longer stay.
The room was nice and spaceous, with a little corridor leading to the wardrobe, which I thought was neat.
The man who helped me check in was very helpful.

Cons:

The route to the hotel was difficult, mainly due to roadworks.
The art applied at the breakfast location and in the garden felt very disconnected from the vibe of our room. More medival would probably have been a better match, though I know that tastes are subjective.
We had received an (email) offer to upgrade our room to one with a bubblebath, but this was not communicated properly somehow, so we stayed in a nice non-bubblebath room instead.

Pros:

Prachtige plek, op loopafstand van het centrum. Wij hadden een kloosterkamer en die was prachtig.

Het bubbelbad was nogal extreem, dus die heb ik direct uitgezet.

Kamers voortreffelijk, randzaken minder.
Pros:

Het comfort van de kamers een ideale plek om tot rust te komen na een dagje Leuven.

Cons:

Bij het inchecken was de jongeman aan de balie niet spraakzaam, vertelde niks over de tijden van het ontbijt, waar de parking was etc. Hij zei het hoognodige en wees ons de richting van de kamer.
Het ontbijt was nogal matig/karig. We ging om 10.00 ontbijten. Het ontbijt bestond uit koude pancakes, een roerei wat al lang in een warmhoud bak stond, geen gekookte/gebakken eieren weinig variatie in beleg, weinig sapjes o.i.d.Een jonge dame die in de hoek van bar continue aan het telefoneren was ipv zich bezig houden met de gasten.

Super genoten samen en komen snel een keer terug
Pros:

Was een prachtige locatie waar het hotel lag, was maar een paar honderd meter lopen naar het Centrum van Leuven.
Ik ben slecht ter been en kregen daardoor een andere kamer in het oude gedeelte van het hotel,vond ik erg fijn aangezien mijn scootmobiel ook op de kamer kon staan.Personeel was erg vriendelijk bij aankomst werd de weekend tas naar de kamer gedragen.Ontbijt was erg goed verzorgt en er was voldoende voor iedereen en ook voldoende keus. hebben ook samen heerlijk ontbeten Hebben er twee nachten met heel veel plezier geslapen.En was een mooi gebouw.

Cons:

Alles was super goed geen klachten.

Pros:

Prima ontbijt, kamer en locatie

Cons:

Er was een loopwedstrijd in de stad waardoor we bij ons vertrek Leuven niet konden verlaten. Dit heeft men ons niet gemeld waardoor we onze plannen hebben moeten aanpassen.
