Prachtig hotel aan de rand van het historisch centrum
Pros:

Het vriendelijke personeel.
De ligging van dit nieuwe moderne hotel letterlijk aan de rand van het historische centrum van Leuven. Je loopt de deur uit en na nog geen 100 meter sta je in het voetgangers gebied. Goede parkeer garage onder het hotel. En de heerlijke airco. Prima ontbijt. Zeer goede bedden. Redelijk grote Smeg-koelkast op de kamer.

Cons:

Ze geven aan dat wanneer je het niet vraagt, je kamer niet schoongemaakt zal worden; een soort groen label. Echter na 1 nacht werd de kamer wel degelijk gereinigd en de handdoeken ververst. Wij hadden daar niet om gevraagd. Er was dus verschil tussen de beleden groene visie en de uitvoering!

Great location, comfortable beds and delicious breakfast
Pros:

Perfect location close to many eateries with halal food as well as a laundromat. The breakfast was particularly high quality with great organic and vegan options. I slept very well in the comfortable bed with fluffy pillows. The gym is well equipped with a treadmill, stationary bike, free weights and some upper limb machines. The aircon works very well, the best we experienced during our Europe visit - it provided much relief during the heatwave and I even had to set it lower.

Cons:

The gym could use some light weights, a yoga/pilates mat and a step.

Centraal hotel waarbij alles tip top in orde was.
Pros:

Dit was de tweede keer dat ik in het Pentahotel verbleef.
Aangezien het de eerste keer goed was meegevallen, zeker qua locatie (midden van het centrum en MET parking) heb ik ook deze keer bij mijn bezoek aan Leuven weer voor dit hotel gekozen.
De kamer is ruim met lekkere bedden en kussens, belangrijk voor een fijne slaap.
De badkamer heeft een fijne inloopdouche met daarbij ook shampoo en douchegel aanwezig. De haardroger in de badkamer maakt het makkelijk voor dames om hun haar 's ochtends weer netjes in de plooi te krijgen.

De parking is makkelijk bereikbaar, al moet je wel even kort door een "voetgangerszone". Belangrijk is om daarna je nummerplaat door te geven zodat je bij thuiskomt geen boete krijgt van de stad Leuven.

Cons:

Eigenlijk viel er weinig tegen. Juist misschien het water met citroen in de lobby dat net op was toen we hier een glaasje water wilden halen. Verder waren er voor ons geen zaken die we als negatief ervaarden.

Pros:

Posizione centralissima ma molto silenziosa. La pulizia ottima ( ho chiesto di non pulire la stanza tutti i giorni ma l’ho trovata pulitissima). Un po’ troppo cara la colazione, che infatti non ho fatto in albergo. I ragazzi della reception, gentilissimi.

Cons:

Nessuna rete tv in italiano

Pros:

The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere. It is surrounded by many restaurants and take-away shops.

Cons:

My room was an attic on the top floor and was hot. The window was difficult for a smaller woman to open and close. The A/C was available but not operable other than on/off.

Pros:

Alles tip in orde

Cons:

Het was niet duidelijk hoe je de parking kon bereiken. Je moet een straat inrijden waar je eigenlijk niet in mag om er te geraken. Om een boete te vermijden, hebben we dat niet gedaan
