Football in Leuven

I was a little dubious having booked the Irish college, rather than a hotel, but it was for convenience to get to the Den Dreef Stadium. I need not have been dubious. Staff were friendly and helpful. The rooms were great. Basic, but functional and clean. No kettle or hairdryer though. As requested a car park space had been reserved for me. Marked with my name and the date. Breakfast was fantastic. Plenty of choice, good quality and helpful staff on hand. My only suggestion/request would be for better directions for both the hotel entrance and car park. Some roads around are closed to traffic at certain parts of the day, and it is not easy (at all) to navigate around those. I had to park the car and walk around to find it and then explore a route to get there. I’m still not sure I didn’t drive a route I shouldn’t have!

The property is located an easy and quick walk from anything you may need - the city centre, cafes, restaurants, bars and even supermarkets. It’s clean, spacious and breakfast is good. I’d definitely stay here again

Great stay , watch out for car park charges

It is a really good hotel as the name says part of the Irish College with lecture being taken while we were there. The staff were really friendly at reception and the building supervisor was really helpful as on our arrival most of the room electrics did not work but he sorted it qickly. In the room there was no Kettle tv or radio. The shower room was very good with soap supplied. Breakfast was continental style with plenty to eat. The hotel is fairly central to the city which i suppose accounts for car parking being 30euros for just 1 night, but the car park was behind a security gate and totally safe. I had never heard of Leuven before booking but it is an amazing city with fantastic architecture. I hope to go back

Historic lodgings in Leuven

We spent two lovely nights in the Irish College. Even got an impromptu tour and history from one of the staff. Breakfasts were amazing, and the room, though not fancy, was spacious, clean, and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Rooms were very nice , beautiful location and gardens, breakfast was very nice in nice surroundings. However the rooms could be better, some lights didn't work, tea/coffee making facilities in the room would be a excellent addition, extra pillows / duvet wasnt available. However overall a great location with friendly staff.

Good to stay in a 17th century College - good sense of Leuven life. Very basic student dorm style. Small, minimal facilities/decoration- but everything functional: clean, good WiFi, ok shower. Didn’t try breakfast. Good value compared to other options.
