The hotel is in an elegant building immediately opposite the train station in Leuven and a good 10 minute walk down the main avenue to the historic and interesting centre The room was fine - clean and tidy but, in my case had no views with the one bedroom window looking out onto a shaft (popular with pigeons, though they were not a disturbance and I had a good night's sleep!) Breakfast was included in my rate and was an excellent buffet with hot and cold food, pastries and fresh fruit all on offer

An old hotel, although clean and all worked well. A great stay for the money. Across the road from the railway station, and about a 15 minute walk to the old town. A good breakfast, good shower, no safe in the room.

The hotel is a typical European hotel, smaller rooms, but kept up nicely. Staff at reception, housekeeping, breakfast and bar/restaurant were excellent, friendly and helpful. Location in Leuven is fantastic. You can walk everywhere from the hotel within 20 minutes. Very convenient to train station and taxi stand if needed. Restaurants and very close. A very nice 10 day visit.

Le Royal is a rather old hotel. I was only there for two separate nights. The first room (15-16 January) was on the back of the building, small but large enough for one person. The room was quiet but there was a regular tick in the wall during the night, I suppose from the heating. The wifi didn't work well and getting the shower to produce the right temperature of water was a challenge. The second night (19-20 January) I had a room at the front of the building overseeing the square in front of the train station. Still quiet enough. The room was larger, the wifi worked better, and the shower was friendlier. Staff and procedures were very friendly, straightforward, and efficient. For short stays I'd recommend this hotel.

Faire enough

The whole stay was good. The breakfast was amazing. The only problem was that the single room with the one bed, this one bed is really small and the room is small in comparison with the double beds rooms. Next time I would prefer to book a double bed room.
