Guest Ratings & Reviews
I found the hotel to be very convenient for its location, right by the railway station, making it easy to travel around. The rooms were functional, though not the most comfortable, with some lacking basic amenities like air conditioning. Breakfast was decent, offering a variety of items, yet it could definitely improve in quality. Overall, it's affordable and practical for short stays if booked early, but not ideal for longer visits.
The Ibis Budget Leuven is a decent budget hotel that offers good value for money, especially with its central location near the train and bus stations. My room was clean and met all the basic needs, but I did find it a bit small. The breakfast was plentiful, though it could be described as very basic. A downside was the parking costs, which can add up if you're not fortunate enough to find free street parking nearby.
