Pros:

Very close to the center, nice and spacious room and good breakfast. Very friendly and accomodating staff.

Cons:

There is no lift from the 3rd to the 4th floor which is the attic which is understandable but still uncomfortable for currying the luggage

Pros:

Leuven is a wonderful town and the location of the hotel works in all walking distances.
The rooms are a bit small but that is not a serious issue. Subjectively, I'd like a better (less soft) pillow.
The breakfast is great, coffee superb. Only drawback is the lack of fresh vegetables.
