“This hotel strikes a nice balance with its eco-conscious choices, like opting out of daily cleaning, while still providing oversized beds and spacious rooms; the central location puts you right in the mix near the Grote Markt and Leuven Library. The staff are helpful, and the unique bar area really sets a relaxed tone; for those exploring Leuven and the Hageland, it's a solid choice with its own distinct style.”
