Overall very good experience. Check in was quick and smooth. Only disappointment is room cleaning service is still not available unless asked a day before and not sure why fitness centre is still closed when the world is trying to be normal post covid.

Cutting cost for no reason is way too visible. Also is very clear that you are overwhelming your employees with too many tasks.

Anonymous Business - 02/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

No fitness because of covid, but they suggested fitness in the same street (so cutting cost), no cleaning but on demand. Demanded. Never happened. The breakfast did not change. Dry eggs and old bacon. I will keep staying there, no more options but I would change if I really could. And the amenities in a paper bag... I never seen anything like this but in a students hostel...

The staff were welcoming and efficient. The hotel was very clean and felt safe in these Covid-19 times! Nothing was too much bother for the front desk ( where to park, where is...etc) The breakfast is fabulous!

well located, poor quality

D. M. Couples - 06/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

The experience was overall a good one. But we like a clean room, ours was definitely not. (Sand in the toilet room, dust everywhere in the room) There was no soap to shower. Although this might be due to COVID-restrictions, this should've been stated in advance so we could prepare for it) Breakfast was ok. Everything there we needed. But coffee in a cup? That's the first time we got this in a Novotel.. Very sad. Especially because there were glasses available for juice.

Dear Mister D., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel Leuven Centrum. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. I will off course check with our housekeeping team what went wrong in your room because this is not the service we normally offer. Concerning the amenities like shampoo and shower gel they are available at the reception desk. We put several posters at the reception and in the elevator mentioning this, off course my team should also have informed you during check-in. At Novotel, we strive to provide a superior service experience for every customer; therefore your feedback is very important to us.

Nice rooms

barryc867 Business - 15/12/2019 TripAdvisor review

The rooms are great, love the showers. Shame about the horrible paper cups in the rooms, no cup of tea can survive them (we went to the bar to get some proper cups). 15 mins walk from the centre, in the evening we were easily able to walk in to the Leuven Christmas market

Dear Barry, Thank you very much for the great review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Looking forward welcoming you again soon. With kind regards,

Ikhan0 Family - 03/11/2019 TripAdvisor review

we stay here quite often and we have enjoyed every time. The only thing to mention is that the hotel needs to think about replenishing enough tea and coffee in the room. i have to constantly ask and normally the staff starts arguing as i believe it effects their overall budget. i have also noticed that the drink prices have gone up and maybe because of this guests are drinking elsewhere now. the bar area was quite empty last couple of times. apart from this all good and good atmosphere.

Dear Mister Khan, Thank you for your review. We are glad to read that you enjoyed your stay in our hotel. We are looking forward welcoming you back soon. With kind regards,

Clean and comfortable

stanton0406 Family - 03/08/2019 TripAdvisor review

We booked a room for a family of 4 on a road trip back to the UK from Italy. Wanted to stay in Ghent but couldn't find suitable accommodation so decided on Leuven instead. It was tight for 4 people (very different from the Novotel Suite we recently stayed in) but the beds were comfortable and we all had a good night's sleep. Location is further away from the old town centre than I realised (a good 15 min walk) and it's situated on a ring road which is easy to get to from the motorway. Town was very quiet and food very expensive compared to rest of europe. Secure parking underneath at 20 euros a night is expensive. There is free parking on the street but with a car full of belongings we wanted something locked. Having paid in advance for room and breakfast there is a very complicated revalidation on credit card for extras which is unncessary. We bought 2 drinks at the bar which we could have just paid for there and then rather than having to sign for an addition 50 euro credit. Breakfast was OK and kids ate for free.

Decent hotel at excellent location

Sabine_Dirk Family - 24/04/2019 TripAdvisor review

With the exception that the room wasn't made up on the second day, the hotel would have been excellent. This was even more bothersome, as the pillow case had thorn over night and wasn't replaced. Since I only returned late after midnight, I didn't seek for a solution at that moment. For the rest a decent breakfast and friendly service.
