Great Location

✅ Great location, very near downtown Leuven. Plenty of restaurants nearby for every budget. ✖️ We stayed there for 16 nights. On our 2nd or 3rd night the A/C started to leak. Despite constant notifying to staff, it was never resolved up to the day we left. Housekeeping could also be better. They also dont have in-room phones.
