Heel erg fijn!
Pros:

Fijne & mooie sfeer in hotel qua inrichting zoals lounge, ontbijtruimte als kamers etc. Vriendelijk personeel. En een heel uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet met veel & ruime keuze. Ook locatie was top echt midden in centrum dichtbij de bezienswaardigheden, leuke straten met veel horeca 1 straat verder en idem winkels dichtbij.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niks

Goed gelegen hotel met duur ontbijt.
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel en gezellige bar die 24u open is.

Cons:

26 euro per persoon voor het ontbijt vind ik overdreven duur. Je krijgt ook een bon voor -50% voor je eerste drankje maar er wordt niet bij vermeld dat dit enkel voor frisdrank telt.

Grandes perspectivas, pero decepción en un 4 estrellas
Pros:

Magnífica ubicación.
Amplia habitación con muchas posibilidades que podría haber supuesto una magnífica estancia.
Tres cómodos sillones en una habitación doble.

Cons:

Colchones muy incómodos: duros y dados de si. Dormimos muy mal.
Taza de baño muy alta: como midas menos de 170 cm no haces pie sentado/a.
Camas muy grandes (posiblemente de más de un metro de ancho) con edredones muy pequeños (a lo largo y a lo ancho): mido 170 cm y peso 68 kilos. Con 5 cm más o 5 kg más no tengo seguridad de poder taparme.
Manchas en la moqueta de la habitación y en la del pasillo.
Desagüe de la ducha medio atascado: no me puedo creer que limpiaran la ducha y no se dieran cuenta.
Bote de gel de la ducha con dispensador roto.
El grifo del lavabo estaba medio suelto. Cada vez que se abría se movía. Tampoco me creo que limpien el baño y no se den cuenta.
A las 16:30 de uno de los días todavía no habían pasado a hacer la habitación. Al final decidimos coger toallas de un carro del pasillo y poner el cartel de no molestar.

Una gran pena porque la habitación y la ubicación nos gustaba. Tenemos que volver por Lovaina pero buscaremos otro alojamiento.

I had a relaxing, no hassle, rewarding stay at hotel and would certainly visit again if possible.
Pros:

every thing worked out perfectly for my visit. Your staff were very efficient, helpful and pleasant,.
I am very bad with names, however the lady from the Ukraine, her colleague from Lithuania and colleague from Overijse were immensely professional . I had a womderful time and I look forward to my next visit.

best regards

Dominic King

Cons:

The communication from the hotel with respect to cleaning etc on demand, could have been made clearer,. despite this the front desk dealt with it efficeiently
