Top KU Leuven Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Brussels Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay"

B&B HOTEL Brussels Airport

8/10 Good

"Hébergement situé près de la gare et de l’aéroport, ce qui est très pratique. Très peu de boutiques ou restaurants à proximité, mais petite épicerie à quelques pas. Beaux espaces communs."

Latroupe Grand Place

10/10 Excellent

"Overall great property - Amazing location, friendly staff, and value for money. Rooms are in good condition, decent sized lockers, and overall good hostel. Not lots of common spaces but still my roommate and I became besties within minutes. Best part was the location as I could walk from central station anytime of the day and would feel relatively safe."

Warwick Brussels Grand-Place

8/10 Good

"Short but lovely stay. Good location and great rooftop bar."

Park Inn by Radisson Brussels Airport

8/10 Good

"Hôtel situé à proximité de l’aéroport de Bruxelles avec service de navette. Bien apprécié pour un départ le matin. Le restaurant était correct."

Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and responsive. The only serious issue was that the shower in the room had no shower head. Therefore the water poured out of the shower as if it was a hose. Naturally this flooded the floor completely. As we were staying only one night and this occurred in the morning nothing could be done. When checking out the staff was attentive and said they would attend to this immediately."

"Loved it. They were really helpful."

pentahotel Brussels Airport
