Poor
The noise at night As
The noise at night was terrible. Not from the outside but from people in the room and corridors. I think they were moving stuff at 2 in the night.

1. The location is very central and convenient. 2. Views from the room over the old city is amazing. 3. Room was decently cleaned the second day.
All the things that was wrong : 1. The first day we arrived there was a very bad smell in the room, like an open toilet drain. We blocked all the bathroom drains and opened the window to ventilate through the night. This did not really work, as the noise from the street was so much that we could not sleep. Unfortunately we timed our stay to coincide with the commencement of the student year and there was a big party in the street below that lasted until 4 in the morning. After that it was the municipal workers cleaning the bottles from the street. The next night the smell was better, but we left the windows open the whole day. 2. We received very worn and threadbare work bath towels that we requested they replace, which was done promptly unfortunately with some in a similar state. The next day we received new towels in a much better state. 3. Black mould in the shower basin and tap, and at the basin splashback. I asked that this be cleaned and it was done. It did seem as if it was prepared up in a hurry on the first day.

Relatively good quality for the price (it was among the cheapest hotels in Leuven at the time of my reservation)
I have not been able to take a shower - only a bath. But perhaps it is my bad, I didn't even ask staff for a solution

Very centrally located. Room was clean. No tea/coffee making facilities.
Nobody in reception, just a sign giving a number to ring. Also (not sure if this is the responsibility of the hotel or of Booking.com) if the "parking" is a public car park almost 10 minutes walk away then to all intents and purposes there is no parking and that is what the website should say. Furthermore, it is not possible (legally) to park outside the hotel to offload your luggage before the drive to said car park. Fortunately a friendly policeman was there and he gave us a few minutes.

The accommodation is in a very nice location directly at the city centre (this means, of course, that noise from the street is to be expected, but I was not bothered by that at all). The hotel is a bit old, which meant a little extra effort to unlock the room doors, but otherwise well-maintained. The room was cleaned daily with clean towels supplied daily (slightly worn, but clean). The breakfast was simple, but everything was fresh, just enough for a quick start to the day.

The location could not be better the staff are very friendly and helpfull the price was resonable the room I had was quite spacious but a little dated I was informed that they are goung to up date the rooms, breakfast was OK and the well stocked bar was very good if I came back to Leuven I would book it again .
It was a bit noisy at night so if you want quiet its not for you, the towels are changed often but some are past their use by date, stairs are a bit dimly lit and it is dull by the lift at the ground level.

It was centrally located and the rooms were comfortable.
It was noisy with young people shouting nearby till the early morning . Also I missed my 7.20 train to Charleroi airport as THE main DOOR wouldn't open with the key and the manager had to come to let me out . I had to buy a new flight ticket and had to go to Brussels airport and then Dublin Ireland ... it cost 180 euro extra . When I got to Dublin I then had to travel to Cork ...3 hours on train to collect my car . I had a very awful day and I am 70 years of age .
