Cons:

The room size was small

Punto di riferimento a Leuven
Pros:

Hotel vicinissimo al centro, pulito ed accogliente. La colazione a buffet è davvero varia e offre ogni delizia, dal dolce al salato, dalla macedonia alle uova strapazzare. La stanza è dotata di ogni servizio ed è pulita ogni mattina. È possibile inoltre utilizzare i distributori automatici di bevande anche durante la giornata. Vicinissimo al centro lo consiglio vivamente.

Aangenaam
Pros:

Net en redelijk geprijst hotel met schone kamer, net sanitair, goed bed en kussen. Leuke locatie door de Antoniuskapel op hetzelfde kruispunt en op korte loopafstand van het centrum. Aardige staf.

Cons:

De lift gaat tot de 3e verdieping; dat is niet erg, maar het spiltrapje is onmogelijk krap uitgevoerd; er kan geen raam open, maar het is wel gehorig en zit, hoewel op zich op een rustige plek, duidelijk in de aanloop/fietsroute van horeca en studentenverenigingen.. Van inpandige ontbijtruimtes zonder daglicht moet je ook houden.

Niet voor herhaling vatbaar.
Pros:

Locatie was top en personeel heel vriendelijk

Cons:

Kamer zeer gehorig je hoorde het water lopen van andere kamers en de handdoeken waren aan vervanging toe. Verder erg sober.
Ontbijt mist alle liefde. Pakken jus en appelsap. Beleg zo vanuit de verpakking op een bord gelegd.

Perfecto hotel cerca de todo
Pros:

El hotel queda a 3 cuadras del comienzo del centro histórico, la distancia justa para darte tranquilidad pero cerca de todo. Es una esquina preciosa!
El desayuno está muy bueno, vale la pena tomarlo.
Nosotros fuimos con nuestra hija de 2 años y tenían la camita de bebé preparada.
Volveré a Lovaina, me sorprendió positivamente!

Cons:

Se sale un poco el agua de la ducha mientras te bañas, igual nada malo. No pierde, es el diseño

Pros:

Vriendelijk proper aangename buurt

Cons:

Het hotel was gekozen om dicht bij het ziekenhuis te zijn. We vertrokken ‘s morgens al om 7 u. Er stonden 2 auto’s op de parkeerplaats. En toch een hele uitleg dat ze de parking moesten delen met de school. Ik ben dan maar op de q parking gaan staan. We waren er op zondag avond en maandag morgen al weg om 7. In de vakantie ‘s morgens stonden er nog steeds maar 2 auto’s

Séjour agréable et confortable mais manque d'intimité dans la salle de bains
Pros:

Le très bon emplacement, le personnel accueillant, la chambre jolie et confortable, le bon petit déjeuner

Cons:

Le manque d'isolation phonique et d'intimité entre la chambre et la salle de bains. Il serait judicieux de remplacer la porte en verre par une porte pleine.
