Hotel in zona VR Base Leuven, Kortenberg

Una sperimentazione drammatica !!!! 4h15 del mattino .. la porta della nostra camera si apre !! studenti inglese hanno aperto la porta con una carta sul chiusura ! ! Fortunatamente eravamo 3 uomini !!! Immagina 3 donne !!! Era pieno di alcol !!!! Parlare alla ricezione ma apparentemente non sconvolto il barba rossa... c io la sicurezza... quindi tu f cosa ?? A 5h40 del mattino i giovani erano all’ingresso dell’hotel ancora con birra!!!! Non nemmeno un prezzo per la stanza ...2 notti!

Fabulous room, very quiet. Beautiful mattress, pillows. Bathtub and shower separate. Be aware shuttle bus is limited in hours see the picture below. Delicious breakfast huge range. Book in room or pay 24 euro extra.

Hotel della classica qualità della catena Holiday Inn. Molto grande, camere spaziose, ottimo wifi e tv con i tre canali Rai. Buffet di colazione con ampia scelta. Buono anche il ristorante. Da notare la possibilità di ridurre l'impatto ambientale rinunciando al rifacimento della camera (voucher da 5€ di ringraziamento) Ottimo servizio di shuttle sia dall'aeroporto che verso le principali destinazioni di lavoro nei dintorni. Unica pecca, nei di torni non c'è praticamente altro che hotel ed uffici, ma con il bus 272 si può facilmente andare in centro.

Ottima posizione. Puoi anche prendere l'autobus 272 dall'aeroporto all'hotel o viceversa. La stanza è molto pulita e funzionale, oltre che comoda e ben ventilata, calda anche a gennaio, quando fuori nevica. Personale molto disponibile. Colazione con ampia scelta, ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo.

In short, a dump for €170 per night (regardless of the rate they advertise). Long version: I checked into a 5th floor room at just after 2pm in mid-October. The only window, which opened to the roof, was open and it was about 10C outside and maybe 15C in the room - too cold to be comfortable. I noticed the smell of sewage. I’m tall, so I looked out the open roof window and could see a sewer roof vent about one meter from the open window. I immediately closed the window and turned on the radiator to “4” (full on) to warm the room up. 15 minutes after, I could smell mold or mildew in the room, possibly from the carpet - hence the open window. I attempted to work on my laptop but the Wi-Fi dropped out every 10-15 minutes. I tried 4 different Wi-Fi’s in the hotel and had the same problems. After 30 minutes, I checked the radiator - stone cold. I went back to the front desk and described the Wi-Fi problem. Response - “nothing I can do but I called the IT guy.” Fair enough. I asked about there being no heat in the room. Response “ give it an hour or two.” I left to explore a bit and had dinner. I returned at 8pm. Different guy at the front desk. Still no Wi-Fi with a stable connection. Still no room heat, and it was getting colder outside and in the room. I went back to the front desk. Responses were “I’ll get the IT guy to fix the Wi-Fi” and “give the radiator an hour or two to warm up”. I replied that I had given the radiator over 4 hours to warm up and the supply lines to the radiator were cold. I asked to be moved to a room with heat and and he said “nothing I can do”. I asked for them to check the furnace and they had nobody who could do that. Perhaps heat was out for the entire hotel and they were still booking and charging rooms on a cold October day. Who knows? I checked out (or attempted to) at 10 pm same day and requested a full refund. They had charged me a full three nights stay immediately upon check-in for a dingy, smelly hotel room without heat in late Autumn. In the end, they refused to refund any of the stay despite not being able to provide a heated room in mid-October in Brussels. What a dump. Save your money. There is a decent hotel 3 blocks away with both Wi-Fi and working room heat.

Questo hotel era immacolatamente pulito e sentito brand nuovo. Il personale era molto utile. I letti erano comodi e la camera aveva tutto quello che ci serviva, tra cui una cucina con un forno. La cucina era anche bellamente pulita. Non c'erano finestre che potevamo aprire nella stanza, ma l'aria condizionata funzionava bene. Come famiglia di 4 la stanza era molto piccola. C'era un letto regina + un divano che si suddivise in 2 letti single di dimensioni adeguate. A causa della dimensione della stanza non potevamo aprire tutte le valigie sul pavimento contemporaneamente. Prendemmo il treno per etterbeek utilizzando il passaggio Eurail e andammo all'hotel. Ci ci voleva circa 20 minuti con tutte le valigie. C'era una stazione di metropolitana che si trovava a circa 10 minuti a piedi dall'hotel senza bagagli (metro non coperto da Eurail) chiamata Delta, che ci ha portati nel centro del Belgio in circa 15 minuti. L’edificio aveva un lavaggio comune, ma per operare le macchine avete bisogno di monete. Non abbiamo comprato il buffet, perché era 15 euro per persona.

We had some problems getting here due to road closures but being on a motorcycle you can squeeze through small spaces! Secure underground parking was available which is always good. When we walked into this hotel we thought we had gone to the wrong place. It looked nice in the pictures but the word stunning springs to mind. Check in was very smooth and the receptionist was super helpful. Our room was on the first floor (a budget room) but it was wonderful. The room was large with a four poster bed. Lots of storage and power points, there was a separate toilet and bathroom with nice toiletries. My only criticism would be replace the toilet brush! (Yuk) The bed was a bit firmer than I usually like, but I did manage to sleep quite well. The room is air conditioned which makes it very pleasant. The hotel is very handy for the centre of Mechelen and the neighbours very friendly! We even treated ourselves to cocktails in the bar. Breakfast was good with hot and cold options and check out very efficient. We will be back!

Benjamin at your Doodles bar is the true heartbeat of your hotel! The day you lose him, your hotel will lose its soul. The breakfast is passable, but it's Benjamin behind the bar who truly elevates the entire experience! The hotel is in close proximity to all famous landmarks! #1416

Siamo stati qua per 4 notti, durante periodo di Pasqua, prezzi leggermente alti, l’hotel si trova in posizione molto comoda dal centro, in 20 min si è alla grand place ed è situata sulla via dello shopping. Alla reception sono stati gentili perché ci hanno offerto un early check-in. È possibile comunque lasciare i bagagli in uno stanzino nel caso. Hotel molto grande ha infatti 29 piani (con ascensore comodo), la pecca di questo hotel e che ha comunque le camere piccole, e abbiamo trovato la camera molto calda, il condizionatore non funziona (impostato ancora su temperature da inverno), abbiamo dovuto aprire la finestra (al 24º piano) che si apriva leggermente quindi cambiava poco. In altra pecca è che le finestre non sono isolanti per cui ogni volta che passa la ambulanza e polizia (il che è molto frequente anche durante la notte). La tv anche se spacciata come Smart tv permette di fare solo screen mirroring che secondo me è una tecnologia un po’ arretrata per i giorni di oggi. Pulizie odierne, con cambio asciugamani;sono anche gentili perché lasciano due bottigliette di acqua in frigo ogni volta (offerti). Tutto sommato comunque una esperienza piacevole.

4 of us stayed here in a quad room which was surprisingly very spacious. The hotel is located within walking distance from Bruxelles-Midi Brussel-Zuid train station and bus depot where we caught the Flixibus. At the time the hotel was surrounded in scaffolding and looked like a building site but on entry the inside was clean although slightly cluttered as there was a lot in such a small reception. As you entered, a massive information stand stood separating the reception from the narrow breakfast area. The wooden reception area looked welcoming as lots of plants around and interesting pictures on the wall. Check in was quick & easy. The smallest and oddest lift and I've ever been in took us 2 at a time to the narrow corridors where we found our room. As we entered the room, there was a single bed to the left and the bathroom on the right. Long side the bed was a mirror and at the end of the bed was a chair, a large 5-headed lamp and a desk that held a fridge on one side with a flat screen TV above the desk. The TV could not be properly viewed from the single bed as it was in line with it so it would have probably been best viewed if the TV was placed in the corner for all sleeping areas to view. In front of the desk was a large L-shaped settee which was also wrongly set up to watch the TV as half of the settee meant you had your back to the TV. The settee was used as a bed and situated by a coffee table under a large window that had a city view. To the left of the settee was the large double bed with a headboard that had built in bedside drawers with bedside lamps on each one. Opposite the settee was a large, old-fashioned double wardrobe. There was another window in the room that was small and showed a small balcony which you couldn't access. The mosaic bathroom has 2 sinks with a glass shelf and a large mirror above plus a hairdryer next to them. There was also a bath with a shower hose attached to the bath taps and another small window viewing the inaccessible balcony. We didn't have breakfast but the breakfast area looked clean and basic with a coffee and vending machine and all with table settings for 2. At the end of the breakfast area was a large garden with some artistic statues and at the beginning was a small lounge area with armchairs and a coffee table. The hotel was also located within walking distance to the main shopping, restaurants, bars and club areas.
