Pentahotel Leuven was well located for walking pretty much everywhere i needed to be, and there was easy access to transportation if preferred to walking. The staff were friendly and professional. I asked for a quiet room and never heard a sound. The gym is small but functional. overhall, it was a lovely stay.

Meets basic requirements - nice bed, good Wifi, good breakfast. And best feature is the central downtown location. But very expensive for a room with no closet and no bath (only shower). Water pot was not clean so I couldn't make tea.
