"The room was clean and the staff were nice. The breakfast was excellent. It was served in the coach house which made the setting unique. They had a variety of different foods to choose from. The bread selection was top notch. The grounds were beautiful and a nice quiet sanctuary after a day of touring. They have a self service honor bar with a nice variety of local beers and snacks. I would stay here again."

"Having read reviews of the property I was a little skeptical about the condition of the property but was pleasantly surprised about how good it was. Very clean, nice clean sheets and towels and lots of room. My only complaints (minor) were that I was I found the apartment cold (could only find one working heater) and that in the bedroom I used there was only one power outlet. All in all I would stay here again and loved how close it was to everything I needed. Excellent value for money."

Top KU Leuven Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Brussels Airport by IHG

6/10 Okay

"The rooms are excellent- spacious and well appointed, modern and clean, and finally with an iron and ironing board! The breakfast buffet met expectations…., but I don’t think I met any staff member who was able to do their job without difficulty. There was a technical issue that made check-in lengthy, and the taps weren’t working at the bar. At evening meal time, there was only one person serving there. She did her best, but every tiny action took forever and it wasn’t easy to get attention, so there was a line up of people waiting a long time, simply to order the most basic thing. All three mornings at breakfast, there weren’t any forks and you had to ask - plenty of knives and spoons, and there wasn’t a large enough buffet for the number of people, so again, it took a long time and emptied food options were slow to replenish if at all. In the end, I was very comfortable in my room for comparative Brussels prices, but the rest of the operation was very sub-standard."

B&B HOTEL Brussels Airport

8/10 Good

"I travelled to Belgium to pick up my puppy from her breeder, and the staff were PHENOMENAL about helping me ensure everything went well. The staff were very helpful, and the hotel was kept clean. Cleaning staff were friendly and considerate. The train platform is very close, but lacks signage to know where to go for streets/hotels - turn right, NOT left, when you come to the 'T' ;) I do wish the elevator announcers were quieter, as getting up in the middle of night I felt horrible when they loudly announced doors opening >_< The pizza available for purchase from the hotel (as the only meal item from the hotel itself and not the expensive outside-company shop in lobby) was unimpressive. Breakfast offerings were basic, but fresh. Location has a small shop less than 2 min walk from the parking lot, which also helped."

Thon Hotel EU

2/10 Terrible

"Upon inspecting my room on arrival, the towels in my bathroom were dirty, wet with one towel having someone's bodily fluid on it. Upon calling the reception to complain, I did not receive an apology and instead the lady said they would send someone up to check whether it was their mistake! In addition to these towels being filthy, the towels were not even placed on a proper shelf, they were folded and left on top of an area above the toilet."

Le Châtelain

8/10 Good

"The hotel lobby was quite modern as was the exterior. From arrival to departure, the staff that I dealt with were terrific!! Very helpful to provide some guidance regarding public transit to get me where I wanted to go. My room was made up very well each day & the coffee + tea provided were delicious. I am unaccustomed to having a toilet in a different room than the "bathroom" so that required some adjustments for a time. Also, the decor in the room was, in my opinion, somewhat dated & didn't match what I expected when I drove up to a modern looking exterior & entered a modern looking lobby. However, the room was quite large by European standards & it was quite comfortable & clean. The price too was quite reasonable, when compared to other hotels."
