Ended up booking this place after the Etap was fully booked. The previous reviews were a bit scary, but in reality, the hotel was good. It did look as if there had been a recent refurbishment, but that's not a bad thing, is it? The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was clean and fine although the view wasn't... More

We stayed as a couple our first time in leuven. We parked our car at the back site of central station for free and walked to royale, which was easy to find. It logged like the hotel just had sort of make over. the receptionist was friendly and we liked or room. We slept at front site of hotel which... More

I was booked into hotel for two nights by a company I was working for so not sure what price they paid. The big plus point is it is very close to the railway station, but so is Etap Hotel so check prices if location is important. It is a budget type of hotel, no amenities like a lounge or... More

I was recommended this hotel by word of mouth and I didn't check the reviews on online before I booked. When I did read the online reviews I was anxious. However, it turned out all right in the end. Obviously not the Royal Palace of Belgium, but considering the low price, I found it good value for money. The location... More

... and the hotels are often full in Leuven. I've stayed a couple of times and had one decent room, and one not so good (small, a bit smelly, bathroom light doesn't work). It looks like they made a low budget renovation to the rooms a few years ago, but the place could use a second round. The entrance and... More

The hotel is terrible, the toaillete is terrible. Please, don´ts pend your money in one hotel like this. Disasterous night. No Parking. No facilities and very expensive .I've stayed in places labelled as hostels that were better than this. it is not comfortable at all.

After a disasterous night at the nearby Etap hotel (don't stay there) we shecked in for our remaining two nights at La Royal on the square by the station. Here are pros and cons Cons: - Rooms aren't inspiring - Might not have a view from the room (we had a brick wall) - no kettle in rooms Pros: -... More

Three advantages to this .. location, free WiFi, and cheap. Less than €50 for an hotel room with breakfast in any European city centre says it all. My room was pretty much like those described by other reviewers except I didn't have a bathroom, or rather I did have a bathroom but it was down the corridor, and it was... More

I pretty much agree with the last 2 reviews. This hotel is nothing special at all. Very plain. Not exactly dirty but I wasn't comfortable either. I had a single room and it was the size of a shoebox. Nothing extra in the room. No air conditioning and it was boiling hot. I was a little put off by the... More
