Muy correcto.

La cama muy cómoda. el ascensor no llega a la última planta, y la escalera es estrecha estrecha, así que para hacer ese último tramo hay que subir maleta a maleta con mucho cuidado

Sabine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Harika

En üst kattaki odalardan birinde kaldım. Manzara şahaneydi. Oda çok temizdi. Otelde çalışan herkes çok yardımseverdi. Eğer büyük bir valiziniz varsa 4. Kata çıkan merdivenler biraz dar geliyor. Asansör 3. Kata kadar çıkıyor. Konumu çok merkezi her yere kolayca yürüdüm. Buna rağmen çok sakin bir mahalle
Pelin Ipek, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Das Hotel ist sehr gut gelegen unweit vom Oude Markt und dem Grote Markt, sowie dem sagenhaften Rathaus und der gegenüber liegenden St. Pieterskerk. Radfahren ist in der Stadt gut möglich und außerhalb sind die Radwege sehr sehr gut.

Kirch, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Tof hotel, pal in het hart van de stad

Prima hotel. Ruime, comfortabele kamer. Parkeren kan in een overdekte en afgesloten ruimte aan de overkant van de straat. Ontbijtbuffet is uitgebreid en lekker. Onthaal heel vriendelijk. Hotel ligt middenin de stad, vlakbij horeca en bezienswaardigheden.
Erwin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Op loopafstand van alle bezienswaardigheden. Hotel schoon, vriendelijk personeel, goede parkeergelegenheid, waar we op dag v vertrek tot halverwege de middag mochten blijven staan.
Els, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lille fint hotel. God morgenmad. Beliggenhed tæt på torv, seværdigheder og restauranter og barer. Forholdsvis nyrenoveret. Ikke prangende værelser. God seng.
Bo, 4-night trip

I loved staying here. The room was small, but clean, comfortable, and quiet. It was a very easy walk to the main squares in Leuven. And the breakfast was FANTASTIC!
Maura, 2-night trip

Voor de prijs per nacht mag er wel airco zijn en een waterkoker met koffie en thee zakjes . De kamer was verder prima, ontbijt oké . Ligging hotel zeer goed . Parkeren auto wel duur, 20 euro per nacht.
Dunya, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Gutes Hotel, Zimmer klein aber ausreichend für Kurzurlaub. Frühstück ausreichend. Sehr zentral gelegen und trotzdem ruhig. Oude Markt und Mundstraat in 5 min fußläufig zu erreichen. Parken direkt am Hotel, Fahrräder können im Hotel abgestellt werden. Insgesamt gut.

Nice and clean and comfy beds

Stay here was amazing. Wish the tv was a smart tv so you can connect your phone and watch something decent apart from french channels. Also the breakfast is quite basic not alot of hot food and selection of cheeses. But its a great small hotel with great location
