HORRIBLE!
Pros:

Solo me gustó la ubicación más o menos céntrica

Cons:

Nada!!! No tenía aire acondicionado y solo un miniventilador que no funcionaba solo hacía un ruido estruendoso, pasamos un calor infernal.

En la escalera había una mancha de sangre seca enorme con cabellos que no sé cómo llego ahí pero fue muy perturbador, solicitamos que nos cambiaran de habitación y dijeron que no era posible, pedí al menos que limpiaran y tampoco llegó nadie! Fue muy frustrante porque llegamos a descansar a las 23h y era pasar la noche ahí o buscarnos la vida con las ocupaciones a tope en Leuven!
Recomendación! No te gastes el dinero en ese sitio horroroso.

Beautiful building, but plagued by mosquitoes!
Pros:

Beautiful building. Spacious room. Nice gardens. Breakfast plentiful - european style

Cons:

The room was very hot, and opening the windows let in mosquitoes which were a pest. It would have been nice to have tea/ coffee making facilities in the room.

Fijn verblijf voor 1 nacht.
Pros:

Heel ruime kamer. Toplocatie

Cons:

Er was geen TV. Er was weinig keuze aan brood tijdens het ontbijt. Jammer dat je met anderen de tafel moest delen bij het ontbijt.

It's an expensive dorm
Pros:

It's very close to the centre and amenities.

Cons:

It's kinda a dorm. Quite dirty floors. Nt good value for money. Too expensive for what it really offers.
I asked for a packed breakfast as I was leaving earlier, and I couldn't even get a coffee.

Bella struttura, ma cara tispetto alla qualità
Pros:

La struttura è bella perché storica e centrale.

Cons:

le stanze sono un po' datate e anche trascurate, si vedano le prese, le luci (alcune non funzionanti) e i bagni. Colazione appena sufficiente
