"Begijnhof hotel is a peaceful place that is far enough out of the city to rest well, but a close enough walk to it to explore the churches, town hall, chocolate shops etc."

“Begijnhof Hotel resides in a historic part of the Grand Beguinage, a location that provides immediate access to Leuven's medieval streets. I found the garden views particularly charming, a definite highlight alongside the easy access to bicycles for exploring the city. While rooms may be compact, they are cleverly designed, making this hotel a worthwhile choice for shorter stays.”
