“In my opinion, this hotel caters primarily to budget-conscious travellers seeking a straightforward stay in Leuven's city center. While some may find the rooms compact and the amenities minimal, the location is convenient for exploring the city. For business travelers or those seeking more extensive services, other options might be a better fit.”

the location is great as it is very close to the train station. public transportation is easily accessible. the staff were both helpful and professional .
the shower didn't have a constant temperature, a bit annoying. the room couldn't go below 20 degrees. i also couldn't open the window, so fresh air was limited.

The luggage storage was very helpful both when I arrived and before my departure. I also found the bed fairly comfortable and warm.
