Hotels near Waterpomp Markt, Leuven

I spent 4 nights here, only a place to sleep really. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast included, which was a decent continental buffet. Location was great for me, next to the railway station. A subway next to the hotel led to platforms and the main station on the other side of the tracks. Reception is actually on the road above the subway, but there is a paved path , designed for cyclists I guess, which avoids using the steps. Bring your own kettle as none in room. Bed was comfortable and I knew about the lack of wardrobe or drawers. I was on the top floor and had no noise from outside.

I used to stay in a luxury hotel in Southeast Asia and felt very ordinary when I first stayed. It wasn't until I moved to the next ibis that I found out how luxurious this hotel is! Safflower needs a green leaf lining! Next door Ibis is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at! No facilities, the beds are gray! breakfast! ? Laughing personally.

We were 6 adults staying at the Lodge for a weekend to visit Leuven. The rooms were above the reception area and check in was very straight forward. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast with lots of variety. The staff were also very helpful in the bar area in the evenings. The hotel is a 25/30 min walk from the Oude Markt which was ideal for us. I would certainly recommend this hotel to others.

The hotel is close to the motorway and is well found. From outside look very stylish. A small shop as well as Starbucks and BurgerKing are integrated. All was clean, the service people were friendly. Man spoke English. The only but serious minus - the climate facility, so no window that could have been opened. It is not for claustrophobicians or people who are easily cool in climate facility. However, the price is okay. The hotel is also accessible, so it is also suitable for wheelchair drivers.

This was the second time this year that we have decided to stay at the Sheraton Airport prior to our return trip home. While the hotel is overpriced it is so convenient for departure and it eliminates the anxiety regarding taxi or transit strikes (something that seems to be a cultural event). The hotel offers great service; friendly and efficient check in and checkout, good response to requests (extra towels), etc. While it seems to be appearing “a little tired” (light bulbs flickering, some new paint required) I have found it to be clean, comfortable and has the hottest water I have experienced anywhere in the world. Gullivers restaurant has adequate service and food although the wait time for meals in the evening can be a test of patience. Breakfast is much quicker and if you wish the breakfast buffet, it is complete and well presented. The coffee we had there both times was the best we have had anywhere during our past month in Belgium! Regarding the waiters in the evening (January 2nd) I must say the women staff and one man (I believe his name was Driss) were the ones doing the work. They constantly circulated the areas and responded to guest requests and needs, the other men just took up space. I had to mention this because it was just so obvious.

The hotel was rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The staff was courteous and professional. Check-in and check-out was efficient and quick. The airport shuttle ran frequently and was reliable.

In my experience hotels such as the Holiday Inn Airport Brussels are few and far between. They were prompt, efficient, had answers to all our questions, and catered to our whims. The lobby/main floor caters to the comforts of their guests with a lounge area, bar area, restaurant area, and an outdoor area. The breakfast and dinner was superb (I had the salmon for dinner). Perhaps an improvement could be made to the three slight level differences in the room as it would be safer for those who are a bit wobbly on their feet.

This hotel was booked as part of the Belgium grand Prix package through ledger. Upon arrival we were very disappointed to find no hot food available after a very long trip, especially as we had read there was lasagne, pasta's,hot dogs and pizzas available but we were told on the Friday that pizzas would be available on the Saturday night. The room was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfortable but again we were very disappointed as there was no tea/coffee facilities,not even a kettle. Only 4 hangers in the room and no drawers,we managed for a weekend but for a longer stay it would be unsuitable. Breakfast was adequate although there was only 1 4slice toaster on site and the queues were awful. That said the ladies filling up the food were very polite and sociable unlike the 2 bar men over the 2 nights, especially Sunday the 1 working then was very rude. Also looking at a review left from somebody who was obviously staying the same time as ourselves,it was stated that a beer was 7euro,so I am now wondering why I was charged 20euro for 2 beers and a lemonade 🤔. Unless you have a car you will need to eat out for your evening meal as it really is very poor at the hotel with only pizza hut within walking distance.
