Top KU Leuven Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Brussels Airport by IHG

8/10 Good

"There should be a distinction made that the Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn express and two different properties. . We saw a few guests , along with ourselves who ended up at the wrong hotel. The shuttle from the airport is not all day, so if you arrive outside of shuttle hours you are on your own."

Park Inn by Radisson Brussels Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Staff at reception only spoke english in Paris Very funny"

Motel One Brussels

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, comfortable bed, good breakfast"

NH Brussels Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay near the airport. Helpful, friendly staff and close to airport"

Cardo Brussels, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay great location"

Hotel Indigo Brussels - City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Indigo made for an overall fabulous stay in Brussels! The interior design nature vibe was elegant but comfortable. The lobby and hallways were filled with myriad plants of various varieties, plush chairs and cushions of rich color and texture. They even had a tourist guide to Gent for visitors to use, among many other interesting books in every corner. The suite room was roomy,immaculate and well designed in terms of furniture placement. The only downside was the switches for the lights (which were plentiful) were confusing and oddly placed at best. However, the staff were extremely helpful and congenial (overall). They were accommodating of our requests for the room and answered our questions about getting around, (trains, directions, restaurants, etc.) and listened attentively when I wanted to share my days adventurous outings. They even shared a lot about the important landmarks in Brussels and surrounding towns. The location was perfect as it is very near (a few blocks from) the train station (North). The restaurant too is a 5 star. Book Hotel Indigo, you'll be so glad you did!"
