I spent 6 nights here in February 2009. Researching hotel options prior to my trip, the Ibis seemed to be the only place I could find in Leuven city center for my price range (70-90 euros). The location is excellent, a 5 minute walk from the city hall. It's about a 20-25 minute walk to the train station (a 6-8... more

The good news: The location is very convenient and Leuven is a great town. The bad news: It stinks. Quite literally. The room had a mystery stench. I'd read reviews about this and it apparently comes from the shower drain? It's very difficult to tell, the room is the size of a cruise ship standard cabin. I suppose if you... more

The hotel is located very near the city center and historical attractions. It it is very inexpensive (which really helps those paying in dollars!). Great value for the budget traveler but probably not ideal for business travelers or those with small children. This is mostly as the rooms are quite small and the walls are very thin (as mentioned by... more

Stayed here for two nights in late Feb 08 for €98 per night plus €10 for breakfast. The location of the hotel is great, in the centre of Leuven, within easy walking distance of the Grote Market, lots of restaurants, markets etc. The IBIS staff were all very helpful, courteous and genuine. The room was clean and functional, with the... more

Stayed here overnight enroute back to UK. We chose to stay at the Ibis as we are familiar with the chain and quite happy with its cheap and cheerful approach. The hotel is well located in the centre of Leuven and has a small secure underground car park for guests. This hotel has gone through a refurbishment and it really... more

Stayed in Leuven Belium from Aug 31-Sep6 2007 at the Ibis Centrum. A wonderful location in downtown Leuven, a few blocks from the Great market and Old market and a 20 minute walk from the train station. The hotel/room was very clean, staff very pleasant but they have the tiniest rooms I have ever seen, even for Europe! I have... more

Four of us stayed here in June 2007 and were very pleasantly surprised. The staff were pleasant, friendly, helpful, competent - n fact I couldn't fault the staff on anything at all. The rooms were had all the basic comforts and were more than adequate. The location is just great, within walking distance of the Grote Markt, shops, restaurants, etc.... more

Seriously, this is the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. As a fellow traveler put it, "can't swing a cat in that room, eh?" I'm pretty sure that my Aunt M's RV had a bigger bathroom. The bed is not particularly comfortable and, as stated, the bathroom is very tiny (and I'm a trim woman). There is limited walking... more

Stayed for 3 nights on business. Easy and friendly check-in. A small bar in the lobby that had vairious Belgian ales, etc. Room was small, but clean, and complete. Not unlike a basic US hotel, but with a cooler (although tiny) bathroom. Good breakfast for 10 euros. Good location, with plenty of dining choices a short walk away, including a... more
