A very pleasant stay
The hotel is located about 1 kilometer from the city center of Leuven in a quiet suburb. The room was stylishly decorated, clean and spacious. There is a bar and restaurant with a large terrace and they do offer breakfast as well. I found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Overall I was very pleased with my stay and I would definitely stay here again.

It is a nice hotel. The rooms are large and comfortable. The location is also quite convenient if you're planning to visit the KUL university (which is usually my case), but it is a bit far from the center.

Great little hotel
I have stayed here many times but never left a review. It’s a great hotel and offers both rooms in main building and at the studio type apartments. Easy and free parking. More a residential area but 20mins walk to the town centre. Staff here are great and they offer bikes and even lights for nighttime. Breakfast is average for a hotel with something for everyone. Supermarket near by if you want to prepare your own in the apartments. Would stay here again.

Some good, some bad
This is a mixed review and a possible caution for others. The hotel is nice, rooms large and comfortable. However, we seemed to be treated like second class which came up in a discussion with the front desk. We had 3 service issues - TV not working, I complained 3 times before it was replaced, I indicated the safe would not functioned as directed, I had to bring the topic up twice before being heard and our room was not cleaned on the second day. When I brought this topic up to the front desk - I was told that they were confused and that because we had only paid 70 Euro per night (thru Hotel.com) and there normal rate was in excess of 100 Euro that they had decided to treat us like weekly clients who get no room service. It did feel like we were being treated like second class. The big apology would be that they would clean our room tomorrow. Not much of an apology if you ask me. Top management obviously isnt communicating with the front line as to rates they are advertising rooms. The other issue is parking. They advertise free parking which is true with the following caveat. There 8-10 space parking lot is also used by their restaurant which is full every night. If you arrive back at the hotel between 6-9 pm, you will have to try and find a spot on the street which is very difficult. Beyond these issues, the hotel room was very nice. Note there is not an elevator

8/10 Very good

Huge jaccuzzi was an unexpected bonus on the top floor. Two flights up and quite a corridor but no offer of help with suitcase wasn't great, otherwise the staff were very polite and helpful. Very spacious light room; no doors to wardrobes would look messy during a longer stay though. Skylight over the bed is a head hazard first thing in the morning. Excellent breakfast in a well-designed modern conservatory. (Unsecured) free wi-fi connected automatically and was strong enough to stream movies. Very good bar restaurant next door is a real plus.

Comfortable Close to KULeuven Campus
I think that nowadays breakfast should be included. The first day i paid the 12euro for it. It was ok but not so special. Instead ended up buying breakfast at the local supermarket. 12 euro for the rest of the week. There were some problems at the rooms from my colleagues like a light not turning off at all, noisy air-conditioning, noisy fridge. The bikes service was nice, though they could need some maintenance.

Leuven Accommodation / Rock Werchter 2014
My party of four travelled to Belgium from Aberdeen and stayed in two rooms at the Boardhouse in Leuven as our base for the 2014 Rock Werchter festival. The hotel location is in a pleasant suburb called Heverlee, which has numerous shops, cafes and pubs close by and is a five minute walk from its own railway platform, just one stop away from Leuven Central. There are also frequent buses into the town centre, which is alternatively a 30 minute walk through suburban Heverlee and the lovely university quarters into the splendid centre. We got back to Leuven most nights from the festival around midnight and either took taxis back to the residence or walked through the streets which were always quite busy and felt very safe. The lodgings themselves (which are more centrally located in Heverlee, five minutes’ walk from the hotel reception & main building) were a delight to get back to, especially on the days that were rainy. Our rooms were spacious and clean, and although we didn’t use the cooking facilities in the rooms, I did use the free washing machine and dryer in the basement – very convenient once the festival site became muddy. The hotel management and staff were really welcoming, friendly and helpful, and our entire experience in Leuven was really pleasant. The Festival was a huge success, and having the Boardhouse and Heverlee as our home from home really added to the whole experience. Book early for Rock Werchter 2015!

Close to KU campus
Great location if you have business at the university. However, the picture posted on hotel.com (the reason I chose this location) was not actually a picute of the hotel, at least the location where my room was located. The room was great, though. The buffet was not worth the money.

A gem
This was a delightful hotel, without any doubt the best of our two week trip to Europe. Although we had what was billed as the 'standard' room in the Boardhouse - a 2 minute walk from the main hotel - everything about the room was perfect. The decor was understatedly elegant and modern, it was in pristine condition, the breakfast was wonderful, the staff were engaging and helpful, and the hotel's location was an easy 15 minute walk to the centre of the city. I would recommend this hotel to anyone considering a visit to Leuven - which, by the way, is itself a delightful and vibrant little city to visit.

Apartment hotel in Leuven
I got the apartment - so it was a little bit away from the main hotel. However it was worth the short walk. The room was large with an equally large bathroom - incl a jaccuzi bath. The apartment also had a fully equipped kitchen area to prepare your own food, incl microwave, 2-hob cooker with cutlery and crockery. It should be said that it is a little outside of the centre of town - about a 15/20 min walk or a 5 min bus ride (the 1 and the 2 go to the station through town). Also on Sunday morning there was a market in the square outside which woke me a little earlier than I had planned. But the inconvience was more than made up for by the chance to buy some fresh pasteries for breakfast! Overall I rate the room very highly.

Val la pena di tornarci
Assolutamente positiva come esperienza, camera pulita, silenziosa, confortevole, alla reception sempre trovato persone gentili e disponibili, l'unico neo è stato il caldo di notte ma sufficiente lasciare aperta l'aerazione dei lucernari per ristabilire una temperatura accettabile.
