De kamers zijn netjes maar piepklein. Voor die prijs verwacht je iets meer ruimte. Wij zaten er op frisse en regenachtige dagen maar ik vraag me af wat een broeikast het er moet zijn op echt warme dagen. Een raam open zetten is geen optie want ongeacht welk uur van de nacht, altijd is er lawaai op straat. Het ontbijt is karig. Daar wordt duidelijk op beknibbeld. Nog nooit zo een slecht roerei geëten. Smaakt naar niets.....wellicht van eierpoeder gefabriceerd. Broodjes kwamen niet van de bakker maar vanuit de diepvries opgewarmd in de oven. Maar één soort koffiekoeken die wellicht al diverse malen werden opgewarmd. Weinig keuze in broodbeleg...hesp, salami en kaas. Dat was het. Te zurig smakende koffie. Kortom, een ontbijt te schraal voor de 185 euro die je betaalt voor een overnachtig. Dan zwijg ik nog over de ongezellige ontbijtruimte waar totaal geen moeite is gedaan om die wat warmer aan te kleden. De betrokkenheid van het personeel is zeer matig. Weinig gemotiveerd. Eén klein voorbeeld (of beter twee), op het moment dat de ontbijtzaal volloopt gaat de ”ontbijtzaalverantwoordelijke” doodgemoedereerd samen met de receptionist een sigaretje roken op straat, de gasten aan hun lot overlatend. Bij het afrekenen bij vertrek zit de receptionist languit met zijn voeten op tafel achter de balie, ijverig tokkelend op zijn smartphone. Wij waren eerder al in een hotel van de Lodge-groep ( 'Herenmolens in Aarschot) en daar werden we met dezelfde desinteresse van het personeel geconfronteerd. Eén goede raad : zoek je een hotel in Leuven in deze prijsklasse, ga dan naar het Begijnhofhotel waar men weet wat klantvriendelijkheid is. En mijd hotels van de Lodge-groep.

From the entrance to the way out, it is a terrible experience. They said the manager would be there from 4 to 6 pm...Wrong! he is rarely there. I arrived at 4:10 pm. People at the entrance cannot find the way to get the keys, you get the key in an envelope, and then you go through very dark and narrow stairs (see photo) that smell terrible (like rats). Later that night, you will find that it is true...rats between the floors and walls. They make noises during the night. The wall of the room are thin, and you can hear well from the other rooms. They offered me a room with a kitchenette, I prefer to cook myself when I have to be for more than a week in a location. The stove only warmed up the food. It took me one hour to cook one egg. The bed is uncomfortable, too small, and too cheap the mattress. The furniture is cheap. The utensils to cook are old, and the cabinet with them smells of humidity. The toaster is disgusting, you see the fungus inside (see photo). The bathroom is small and needs to be refurbished. There is no way to clean it anymore (see photo). The curtain is old and dirty with spots. Outside is not better. I arrived Sunday, the containers were full of trash. There was trash on the floor of the area too. The whole week, they did not collect it. You can see the photo of the Sunday when I, fortunately, had to go to a better place. The photos that they post are nothing like reality. I read in someone else post that he saw the rats running in the gardens... I was lucky, I did not.

The room was pretty big ( if you take the room with 2 single beds) but not clean at all. No ventilation in the shower which causes mold on the ceiling. When I asked to clean the room they say “no… there other rooms need to be clean and you are here for 4 nights you gonna be fine without cleaning” I not even mad… that’s amazing ( not really) Anyway, if you are looking for average price, in a great location and cleaning isn’t a issue for you than take it.

My partner and I stayed at this hotel last night, 3 June 2022. The staff were very friendly and obliging. There was ample free parking. The hotel itself was very clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable and large, plenty of space within the rooms, everything well thought out. The bathroom had a lovely large walk in shower. Although we stayed room only, there was an adjoining Starbucks, Burger King and a café to purchase breakfast. I shall certainly stop there again, well recommended.

I spent 4 nights at the Lodge Heverlee and never wanted to leave. Everything about the Hotel is beautiful, as well as the surroundings. Waking up to seeing the Arenberg Castle on the other side of the road was just wow! And the room was too perfect for words. Great breakfast, friendly and efficient staff, clean and comfortable. There is a bus stop 10 steps away from the front door. I was alone, on a business trip, but would gladly go back as a couple. 3*** is not nearly enough for this place! I would choose this Hotel over and over again!

Agree with previous reviews on the challenging (steep and narrow) climb up to the room. But if you are looking for a unique experience, quiet room (even though floors crack as we walk), feel like you are part of history with modern comforts (wifi, box tv with lots of channels, shower, toilet, fridge - all in one room by the way), this is the place. Very attentive and charming host serving breakfast and genuinely interested in who we are. The area around is perfect - walking distance to town and KU Leuven Campus Arenberg.

The breakfast was excellent and the accommodation was comfortable

The biggest advantage of this hotel is its location: it is located in the center of Leuven, with convenient transportation and dining.
