Finger weg vom Familienzimmer
Pros:

Die Lage zur Stadtmitte und zum Bahnhof waren gut.

Cons:

Finger weg vom Familienzimmer!
Wir waren mit zwei Kindern für zwei Nächte hier - das war zu viel. Zwei von drei Fenstern waren zwar zu öffnen - aber wir mussten sie zu lassen, da der Blick, der Lärm und die Luft von 17 Klimananlagen vor dem Fenster nicht tragbar waren.
Die Klimaanlage über dem Elternbett musste also die ganze Nacht über laufen - was eine Erkältung nach sich gezogen hat, und die Ecke mit den Kinderbetten war zu warm. Auch der Boden wurde von warmen Leitungen durchzogen.
Trotz Meldung via Mail bei der Hotelleitung - wie in anderen Rezensionen geschrieben - brachte überhaupt nichts.
Das beste: warme Dusche war dann auch weg, da es Probleme mit dem Boiler gab, was wir nur auf Nachfrage erfahren haben.
Wir werden definitiv nicht wiederkommen - ich will gar nicht wissen, was hier bei einem Feueralarm los wäre, denn in diesem Zimmer hätten wir keine Chance zum Entkommen gehabt.

Cons:

Frukosten är hotellets svaghet. Inga grönsaker eller frukt fanns med, ägg var överkokta.

Pros:

Vriendelijke onthaal. Fijne en schone kamer. Lekker ontbijt (buffet) met een ruime keuze.

Cons:

Niets viel tegen. Ik vond de bedden aan de stevige kant, maar dat is een kwestie van persoonlijke voorkeur.

Prima hotel voor een stedentripje.
Pros:

Prima hotel aan de rand van het centrum. In 5 minuten sta je op de grote markt. Het was erg warm toen wij er waren, daarom was het fijn dat het hotel een ventilator op de kamer had gezet. Alles was heel schoon en comfortabel. Gewoon een goed hotel voor een stedentripje in een leuke stad. Ontbijt was goed met voldoende keuze en uitstekende koffie!

Pros:

Ubicacion, en el centro de Leuven

Cons:

Todo un poco pequeño, y lo que menos me gustó es la puerta del baño de cristal, nada de intimidad si compartes la habitacion , como fue nuestro caso.

Pros:

Heel nette kamer, mooi ingericht en men had de airco al aangezet zodat het lekker koel was bij aankomst op een heel warme dag. Heel vriendelijk onthaal.

Soggiorno vicino ai College
Pros:

Struttura accogliente vicina ai college ed ai ristoranti. Personale gentile, colazione abbondante. La mia stanza era dotata di aria condizionata a differenza di altre nella struttura. Soggiorno piacevole.
