R. D. B. D. Business - 2/9/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

I have never had such a crappy hotel for 135 euros. Clean room but very small, no view and we could hear everything from our nextdoor neighbours. Free earplugs could be a nice extra treat. Breakfast was a disappointment. Stale and hard bread. Not a very fresh looking fruitsalad. staff was very friendly though.

Caroline C. Business - 2/8/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Very good experience overall. To increase the rating from an '8' the following are my recommendations: 1. Noise disturbance experienced in my room from the scraping of furniture e.g. chairs in the other guest rooms. Could ibis add soft 'shoes' to the moveable furniture to reduce this noise? 2. Water refill station for guests to replenish their water bottles. 3. Put a warning sign on the door from the ground floor stairwell into the lobby. One morning, I came through that door and crashed into another guest exiting from the elevator. They are right beside each other. It was like a rugby tackle! We laughed it off, but I was winded afterwards :-)

Dear Caroline, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you appreciated our location in the historic centre with the Market Square and Town Hall nearby. It’s also wonderful to know our breakfast offerings met your expectations with their variety, and that you found your accommodation well-designed. However, we are sincerely sorry that some aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We acknowledge your concerns about the furniture sounds from neighboring rooms and will take your suggestion about protective additions into consideration. We appreciate your feedback regarding guest amenities and safety measures, and our team is always available to assist with any needs during your stay. Your kind words about our staff’s helpfulness are truly valued. We strive to provide attentive service that enhances every guest’s stay. We would love to welcome you back on a future occasion. Kind regards, Peter, Deputy Manager

Margarita I. Business - 2/7/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Overall, our stay was pleasant. It started with an unexpected issue: the first room we were given had not been cleaned. However, the staff were very friendly and reacted quickly, and we were immediately offered another room, which was mostly clean. That said, housekeeping seems to be a challenge. The service staff are kind and helpful, but there appears to be a lack of consistency and attention to detail in the cleaning process. At times the room felt dusty, and we even noticed items left behind from a previous guest. This is something the hotel should definitely review. Breakfast had the basic options, but there was a clear lack of fresh vegetables—no salads or fresh variety. There were cucumbers and chilled tomatoes, but that didn’t really cover the need for fresh vegetables in the morning. The reception team was very supportive and friendly throughout our stay. Overall, this hotel can work well for a short business trip and a few nights’ sleep, but it’s important to note that the rooms are extremely small.

Dear Margarita, Thank you very much for your review. We are delighted to hear your overall experience at ibis Leuven Centrum was pleasant and that our team’s prompt assistance made a positive impression. Our staff takes pride in delivering efficient solutions to ensure every guest feels welcome. That said, we sincerely regret that the condition of your initial room did not meet our usual standards. Our dedicated housekeeping team works diligently to maintain high levels of cleanliness, and we’ve reinforced protocols to prevent such issues moving forward. Additionally, we have noted your comments about our breakfast and consider where improvements can be made. Nonetheless, we hope that our central location served your business needs well. Being steps from the Old Market Square and major transport links allows guests to maximize their time in Leuven while enjoying easy access to surrounding areas. We hope to welcome you back in the future. All the best, Peter, Deputy Manager

Hans C. Solo - 1/23/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

A short 3 day trip to Leuven and the Ibis was an obvious choice as it's based right in the centre and close to restaurants and bars. The room was OK but the bathroom was a little small tbh.

Dear Hans, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are delighted you chose our hotel for your stay in Leuven. It’s wonderful you found our booking process straightforward through the ALL App and your Gold status benefits. Our team is always happy to ensure your reservations go smoothly. Still, we regret the inconvenience you experienced during check-in. Rest assured, we regularly review our procedures to prevent such issues from recurring. We also note your comments on the bed and bathroom as we regularly review amenities in an effort to enhance our guests’ experiences. Nevertheless, we’re thrilled our central location allowed you to explore the city’s dining and cultural spots with ease. Your continued loyalty is truly appreciated. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Peter, Deputy Manager
