  Great festival stay!

  11 Jul 2026

  After many years at Park Inn, we ended up using Novotel this year, and although being a little bit reluctant before our stay, it turned out great. They absolutely know how to cater for their festival guests.Pros: - Superior room was quite spacious and clean. Nice with fridge in room.- Breakfast times extended to 11 during the festival. That's how we like it.- Kept their bar open with pizza options until 3.A.M. Also a very good initiative and they also showed all world cup matches.Neutral:- Even though it's not as close at Park Inn, it's still quite close to the central station and shuttle buses- Breakfast was nice with a good bread selection, however after the first night, they stopped knowing how to cook bacon, so it was more of a raw damed mess, rather than crispy. Also split between soft and hard boiled eggs. One never knew what to expect.Cons:- Slow elevators- Price is very high, but unfortunately to be expected Hotel Manager, Owner at Novotel Leuven Centrum, responded to this review Dear Thomas,We appreciate your candid feedback; thank you.We are thrilled to hear you had a brilliant stay with us during the festival.We're glad your room provided the space and convenience you needed, complete with practical amenities.

  I enjoyed my stay very much

  15 Jan 2026

  My stay in this hotel was very nice.The staff at the hotel reception were extraordinarily helpful in solving a problem of my colleague and they were also very approachable when there help or advice was needed.I had two dinners at the restaurant: I had a very good time there as I received an excellent service (including good humour) and the food was very good and tasty. The hotel is about 5 minutes of walking from the Leuven train station and easily reachable.I was very happy with my room: good size, nice layout, quiet and I had a very good sleep.I will definitely come back to this hotel on my next stay in Leuven.

  Two nights in Leuven

  29 Oct 2025

  A perfectly agreeable stay in Leuven with my sweetheart Michelle. The hotel is located approximately 8 to 10 minutes walk from the station and the city centre can be reached on foot within 15 to 20 minutes. The rooms we had on the 5th floor were comfortable and well appointed - we didn’t use the restaurant so can’t comment.

  Filthy carpets and 8e for 2 cans of Fanta..??

  28 Oct 2025

  Stayed here for one night,was in Leuven for a football match so was only in the room to sleep, carpet was filthy dirty I had to put towels down to walk around,two gents at check in time were nice but the lady on in the afternoon was not the friendliest,asked her to book me a taxi to the stadium and you swear I asked her something monumental..didn't use the bar but going by them trying to charge me 8 euro for two cans of Fanta from the fridge in reception I'm glad I didn't use it.No milk at the coffee machine either.Hotel does have a good city centre location and was cheap so I suppose you get what you pay for but I wouldn't recommend at all. Hotel Manager, Owner at Novotel Leuven Centrum, responded to this review Dear Marty.Thank you for your review.We're pleased you found our city center location convenient for your needs and that our rates met your expectations.However, we sincerely regret that several aspects of your stay fell short of your expectations. Our team is always available to address any concerns during your visit, and we take note of your comments about the minibar pricing and room maintenance. Please know we regularly review our facilities and services to maintain high standards.Nonetheless, we're glad our central position allowed easy access to local amenities, and we hope this contributed positively to your visit to Leuven.We hope to welcome you back soon!Best regards,Inge Staes, General Manager

  Not 4 Star Quality

  25 Aug 2025

  I booked here largely due to the fact that this was one of the only places in Leuven that could accomodate more than one bed at a reasonable price and I needed to be in Leuven since my father was attending a meeting in the city.The location is a bit iffy as it's not really close to much as far as Leuven is concerned though it was quite nice for my purposes since I left Leuven rather frequently so the proximity to Leuven Station was a positive. The rooms were very basic but quite clean as far as I could make out. The room was decently large with a ordinary sized seating area. The linens didn't seem extremely upscale, they were more akin to what you'd find in a 3 star than a 4 star, but they were serviceable. In general, the room just didn't seem to match the star rating of the hotel itself. The beds and pillows were serviceable although a huge problem was that the air conditioning seemed to not really work.The bathroom setup consisted of two separate rooms with a shower and sink in one and the toilet in a separate area. The shower area appeared to have the most issues as the caulking seemed to have mold growth and the paint on the wall was ground down pretty heavily near the mirror with a similar but less noticeable occurence behind the toilet where the toilet seat is raised. Water pressure in the shower was okay although there was a noticeable lack of conditioner in the shower.The breakfast in the morning was quite poor for my taste. The cost was 24 Euros per person and while the selection was decent the quality was poor. The sausage tasted weird, as did the cold cuts. The potatoes were hard and the only real edible items for me were the pastries. While the selection wasn't the culprit here, the sheer lack of quality makes it difficult to justify the expense.The service here was also very odd. It wasn't noticeably bad but it seemed like the staff were just a bit curt, which might've been due to language though all the staff were proficient in English.The hotel gets the job done but it just really doesn't meet 4 star quality standards and the operation is just off in too many areas to warrant anything more than a middle of the road rating. Hotel Manager, Owner at Novotel Leuven Centrum, responded to this review Dear Jamal.Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.We appreciate your comments about the cleanliness and spaciousness of your room. Our team takes pride in maintaining welcoming environments for all guests.We sincerely regret that aspects of your stay fell short of expectations, particularly regarding the air conditioning and bathroom maintenance. Please know our staff remains available around the clock to address any immediate concerns during stays. While we stand by the quality of our breakfast offerings in the Gourmet Bar, we'll review your feedback carefully.Lastly, we're pleased our location near Leuven Station proved convenient for your travels. The easy access to transportation networks is something many guests value during their visits.We hope to welcome you back soon!Best regards,Inge Staes, General Manager
