“This hotel's location beside the train and bus station makes it exceptionally convenient, and the walkable distance to Leuven's center balances accessibility with a touch of local charm. Rooms, though compact, include useful amenities such as refrigerators, and the on-site Nepalese restaurant offers a distinctive dining option. While some rooms show their age and street-side noise can be a factor, these are tradeoffs for the hotel's prime location and value.”
