“The room was adequate for my needs and I enjoyed exploring Leuven with my granddaughter”
The breakfast was a little too much for my appetite but good quality bread . My only issue was with the stairs. At age of 79 three storeys of narrow stairs was difficult for me especially after a day sightseeing the city on foot. If I come.again I would request a room on a lower level.

“Really good price for a one-Star hotel”
As I booked the hotel at very short notice, the price was very reasonable. Everything was as promised. The room was ok. The breakfast was simple and the same every morning, but there was plenty of food for me. Good location - a very nice cafe and a Spar store very close by.

We stayed on the top floor, the attic studio, really beautiful old woodwork, it has a lot of charm. The beds are very comfortable, and the sleeping loft is pretty cool. The owner is a really nice man, and the provided breakfast was definitely more than plenty. There are several supermarkets and good restaurants within walking distance
