Best Hotels near Stadhuis van Leuven, Leuven

I spent 4 nights here, only a place to sleep really. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast included, which was a decent continental buffet. Location was great for me, next to the railway station. A subway next to the hotel led to platforms and the main station on the other side of the tracks. Reception is actually on the road above the subway, but there is a paved path , designed for cyclists I guess, which avoids using the steps. Bring your own kettle as none in room. Bed was comfortable and I knew about the lack of wardrobe or drawers. I was on the top floor and had no noise from outside.

This hotel has an excellent price/value ratio for a city centre hotel. The rooms (305 and 306) are perfectly adequate for a short stay. The staff were friendly. One negative: when we came back from dinner there was a sewer smell in the bathroom of 306. We ran some water through the sink and the smell is dissipated after a while. One thing to note: the entrance to the car park is VERY narrow. My car is 1m75 wide with mirrors folded and this is the absolute maximum that I would attempt to park.

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.

Spent a long weekend at Hotel The Shepherd. Nice clean hotel. Everything looked neat and good. Nice room, only sliding glass door to the bathroom and toilet gives little privacy. Bathroom is small and only has a shower. Rooms were cleaned well and provided with new beds. Good beds. Perfect location to the old market and food and drink options, ideal hotel to spend a few days in Leuven. Wifi is good and free. Breakfast was simply well prepared and more than sufficient. Quiet hotel, little noise in the hotel itself. The school opposite caused quite a bit of noise until late in the evening and early in the morning by means of loud music. Parking opposite the hotel was not possible, so you had to park at the Q-park parking garage, which will cost you 22 euros per day. Easily accessible, both by car and on foot. Parking at the hotel apparently only costs 15 euros. You must call in time to discuss this otherwise there will be no room!! All sights within a short distance. Must say that 1 or 2 days in Leuven was sufficient for us.

This hotel has one star, but its breakfast is first class with a good choice of food to suit most people . the room was comfortable if somewhat basic there was some noise as its located on a square by the rail station but we slept well. staff very helpful ,it had a nice menu and two happy hours at the time of our stay. A short 10 min. stroll to the centre and from the stella brewery note that there are only tours on a weekend. we will return to this hotel again

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
