    I stay in Leuven for work regularly, but it never gets boring. there are so many nice restaurants and shops in the center . The old buildings like the city hall are a marvel in their own right. Easy access via train or by car, plenty of parking, sometimes even free outside the city ring with free shuttle buses. Definitely worth a visit, get a belgium pint on the central market square and just admire the view!!

    Beautifully renovated medium size town to traditional Flemish look. The Town hall, Church, and university building dominate and impose the character to surrounding streets. Value and style available for every taste.

    Leuven is really a mixture of late-medieval Flemish style combined with the vibe of students. You can easily walk around in the city centre as lots of streets are auto-free zones. However, they allow bikes and these are going virtually everywhere. But the streets are relatively wide for an old town, so no worries. Lots of nice buildings that especially close to the Christmas (of Feast) times are nicely decorated and lighted. Lots of shops, eateries and restaurants as well. So enough to see. Culturally there is just a few of museums to enjoy. This town is not gourmet or top-cultural, but it has a lot to offer for a full day of city-crawling

    This city was a real surprise!

    This city was a real surprise! Had a fabulous vibe, plenty and variety of cafe/restaurants, good retail shops and amazing historic buildings. Made better because the city center is compact and easy to get around without the usual crowded tourist hot spots you find in other cities. The city transport is convenient, and the railway station is also central and an easy and affordable option to venture into Brussels or airport (both 20mins away) or beyond. Unofficially Leuven claims to be the beer capital of Belgium - I agree the variety is vast, oh it is also home for Stella and tours are available.

    Leuven is a hidden jewel to visit if you like great architecture, food choice and a city that you can mooch around and watch daily life. Add it on to a trip to Ghent or Bruges. Brussels by comparison is noisy, dirty and I think over rated.

    Leuven was a wonderful little university town! Great downtown and wonderful history to see. There was plently of great places to eat and even better places to try all the Belgian beer that you could want to drink. The walk around the town and university was beautiful and very enjoyable.

    The staff and the hotel, incl. the premises, were in very good shape and well maintained. The location was only a 10 minute walk from the downtown Grote Markt in Leuven. The hotel offered an honor bar so you could drink coffee, tea or a softdrink / local beers. Bed was comfy and we had a walk-in shower in our room. Also easy to find coming from the motorway. We would return if we visit Leuven in the future.

    This is a very nice hotel. Place is very quiet. Breakfast was excellent. There is a bus station right in front of the hotel, bus #2, direct connection to downtown and train station. I would certainly choose the same hotel next time I travel to Leuven.
