Hotels near Arenberg Castle in Leuven

Poor information level at the reception. Parked in the parking garage. Not a lot of parking spaces, small and difficult to park. The machine is on a steep ramp. You can park free just outside the hotel, but we did not get that information when we arrived. Located in walking distance to the city centre. Room is nice. Dinner was poor, go to the city instead. Breakfast average. Need some cleaning on the walls.

Fortunately I'm used to staying in Ibis hotels, and I carry my own power extension cord and 4 power outlets, because, like most Ibis hotels, also this one suffers from a lack of power outlets. There's one in the bathroom (for your shaver) and one in the room (nearly 3m from the bed). Unfortunately, no power outlets next to the bed. You don't hear the motorway, which is good. Noise from adjacent rooms is filtered less well. Also, free parking is available. Sleeping comfort is ok, TV screen is a bit small, but ok. Friendly staff ! Breakfast is ok (no warm food), no separate bar (seats in the lobby)

Prima studio! Fijne bedden en ruimte genoeg met een baby erbij :) Locatie is perfect, midden in het centrum. Helaas was de lift tijdens ons hele verblijf defect waardoor we de kinderwagen telkens de trap op en neer moesten tillen. Dit was niet fijn.

Fantastic hotel, central and easy access... the only one but we could not use the wellness space because it was full booked, they could give priority to the hotel guests, for the rest, all right

The Hotel is not in the city center it is a 10 minutes walk away from a metro station where you can get in 30 minutes to the center. The hotel staff was not very helpful and very slow. The check in took us 45 minutes. They told us that our room would be ready at 15:00 however when we arrived there at 15:30 they told us that the room was not ready yet. At 16:00 we got the room keys but the friendly cleaning lady was not ready yet so we had to wait for 30 minutes in the floor. The room had a living and a sleeping room! It had all amanities of a 5 star hotel. The bed was very big. The shower was huge and very good but you couldn’t lock the bathroom door and it couldn’t close totally which is A BIG NO GO! There was a lot of storage space and a comfy seating area with a big sofa. The courtains were very dark and good. The room had a big balcony with view to a parking. The hotel was located in a VERY UGLY industry zone. The hotel had a covered parking and a parking space outside. There was a small bar in the hotel top and a restaurant. The restaurant was expensive and the service was slow and bad. The pool, fittness and spa were very beautiful and good. I WOULDNT RECOMMAND THIS HOTEL IF YOU WANT TO VISIT THE CITY AND IN MY OPINION IT’S NOT WORTH IT’S PRICE AND 5 STARS

Was sent to the hotel by Brussels Airlines and arrived here at around 11.00pm after a delayed flight from Madrid. Brussels Airlines has paid for dinner in the hotel after a long day, but hotel had closed the kitchen and the room-service despite it being advertised as running until midnight in the rooms and on the hotel web-site. Reception manager claimed that all restaurants in Brussels close at 10.00pm. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast the next morning was probably the worst hotel breakfast I've seen in years. Canned fruit and the omelette looked and tasted like it was made by a 12 year old school apprentice. Overall not a 4 star experience.

We are a group of 5 experienced Mexican travelers. Twice have we stayed at the ”Leuven City Hostel”, in order to catch the Rock Werchter Festival. The first one, 2 years ago, went well. The second one, was the worst experience of our lives. The morning of June the 30th, we were woken up  by some loud bangs onto our room door: it was the Police. They were accusing one of our friends of having stolen an iPhone 6 from the restaurant in front called Sarah's where we had breakfast a day before. They claimed they had ”irrefutable evidence” in the form of video footage proving the felony. They were demanding to give the phone up or they would search the room. We were so confused and intimidated but we had nothing to hide so we cooperated. By that moment we were scared and anxious about what was gonna happen next. Our friend was in shock repeatedly stating she had not stolen the phone. I want to provide a little background about ourselves: we are respectful, working people. We don't need to steal nor does it match our morals. So we were shook. How did this happened? We carry newer and more expensive phones than an iPhone 6, we brought Nikon cameras, tablets and Nintendo Switch devices with us. It's stupid to think we will risk everything by stealing in another country. And then be stupid enough to steal at the place where we are spending the night! It doesn't make sense. During the search, the Police were realizing that the whole accusation didn't make sense either based on our belongings, we do not fit a criminal profile. Also one of the officers spoke Spanish and was secretly listening to our conversation which proved further we had nothing to hide. By the time they were done with the search, they didn't find anything (obviously) they proceeded to take our friend to the police station to make a statement. We agreed to meet them there. Here's where it got messier: The Police had left when the owner/manager came to us and started yelling at us. He went out of his way calling us criminals, liars, claimed we were dangerous and kicked all of us out or he would call the police again. He said we had 5 minutes to pack and leave. Can you imagine? 5 minutes? After the police search, all of our belongings were mixed and on the floor. We might have left some stuff behind we don't know it yet. We understand the position of the owner to make us leave because of the ”negative image” they were giving the other guests and neighbors by keeping us there, HOWEVER, he acted completely insane, rude and arrogant for an unresolved situation. It was truly scary. He was completely certain of our friend's fault and that was pretty strange. Now: we never doubted our friend, but we were taken aback by the fact that they had ”evidence of the crime”; perhaps she took it by mistake, I thought, or maybe they confused her very own IPhone 6S with the stolen one... Anyway we cooperated and left the place.. By the time we arrived to the Police station, we were

Zeer vuil bij aankomst (foyer en openbaar toilet) Kamer was bij aankomst zeer warm en er bevonden zich nog restanten van teennagels onder het nachtkastje. Uiteraard hebben we dit meteen gemeld en er werd ons beloofd dat ze dit zouden opkuisen. Bleek achteraf echter niet opgekuist te zijn. Bij het uitchecken kregen we enkel een sorry. Koffie sporen in de lift tijdens ons verblijf, de tegels rond de douchebak kwamen los, douchekop zat verstopt met kalk. Een eitje (in welke vorm dan ook)tijdens het ontbijt was niet verkrijgbaar . Het enige positieve is de afstand tot het centrum en de beperkte gratis parking

We were 6 adults staying at the Lodge for a weekend to visit Leuven. The rooms were above the reception area and check in was very straight forward. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast with lots of variety. The staff were also very helpful in the bar area in the evenings. The hotel is a 25/30 min walk from the Oude Markt which was ideal for us. I would certainly recommend this hotel to others.

Worst experience ever. Booked it for 2 nights. Dropped our bags and had to leave directly for another appointment. When we came back at the end of the evening we saw the poor maintenance and cleaning. Packed our bags and moved to a hotel which could help us out (after 23h). Next morning shot some photos of the appartments which are certaintly not fit to be rented out. After calling the assistance we handed in the Keys before check in time. Ultimately, only received back our rent for 1 night, not even stayed there. Explanation was that it could not be rented out for that Day (ofcourse not true because keys were handed in before check in time). Conclusion: zero understanding and in short they just scam people with renting out these dangerous ruins. Be warned and do not book with BE.housing.
