Leuven is a great city with a lot of late Gothic architecture. You can see the entire city in a weekend. The top sights were the city hall and the Tafelrond with the Cathedral across from it.
The Begijnhof was actually one of the most beautiful places to walk to and through. So peaceful and beautiful architecture.
The Kruidtuin (botanical gardens) were a huge treat. Free entrance. Even in the winter it was fun to walk around.
M Museum is not that interesting. The collection is very small. It took about 1 hour to see everything.
Leuven is a university city but still has a lot of gastronomy. There are restaurants for every budget. I loved the La Cantina Mexican restaurant. Bar Louis was also awesome for drinks before dinner.
The stores are all closed on Sunday so take that into account when you go. I would definitely go back again sometime. You can walk everywhere.

Beautiful small city, with everything within walking distance. There is a very wide range of eating places both in terms of price and type. The train connections are excellent to other local places, Mechelen was especially attractive.

Beautifull, historic city.
Beautifull, historic city. Splendid townhall, beautifully iluminated before Xmas. Library with great arquitecture and tragic 1st and 2nd World Wars history. Countless cafeterias, restaurants, bars, Xmas market at the Groote Markt. For churches lovers - very interesting places to see.
M Leuven - art museum definately worth seeing. I had the luck to see the exhibition "Dieric Bouts. Creator of Images". Oct23-Jan24. Many events connected with this Leuven citizen and artist of the 15th century.

Leuven is a beautiful town with a lot of old and well restored buildings, plenty of eating places and very lively not the least as a result of the student population which consists of walking and cycling Belgian and International students. Although the weather was quite bad we walked around before going to dinner The area around the Begijnhof makes you feel like you go back in the time.
Another great thing about Leuven is that you can do everything on feet as everything is within walking distance.

Leuven is a wonderful university town located 20 minutes by...
Leuven is a wonderful university town located 20 minutes by train from Bruxelles, in the Flemish region. Being the city of the most prestigious Belgian University, the town is vibrant and easy-going, with a rich history and several artistic and cultural hot spots of high interest. There is a quiet and fascinating botanic garden that provides a great opportunity for escaping into the peaceful greenery. You can easily walk around, but there is an efficient system of public transport. Several good restaurants from various international cuisines and many hotels are at hand. The University Library is a must: climbing its tower, floor by floor you will go through the history of the town, especially recalling how the tragedies of the two World Wars brutally impacted it. KU Leuven, the university and one of the main institutions of the town, which plays a pivotal role in organising events and cultural activities, offers one of the best university programs taught in English in the European continent, thus the town is authentically international. Moreover, there is the plant where Stella Artois is produced, where guided tours are organised: it is worth a visit!

Leuven was absolutely amazing.
Leuven was absolutely amazing. Getting lost in the sights, sounds & views. I rate Leuven much higher pertaining things to do, spots to explore & indulge your senses. For some people Antwerp, Gent & Bruges may rank higher, but for me Leuven is the better option. It’s off the beaten track, the churches, Groot Begijnhof, the Kruidtuin, even the unforgettable & magical Hal 5 at Kessel-lo. Do yourself a favour & go to Hal 5. You won’t regret
it. Decadenza will serve up gelato that will put Venezia, and even Firenze to shame. Then there’s Danta’s coffee shop…. Oh my word! As confirmed coffee snob, I can only say Fantabulous indulgence.
Leuven is easy to navigate, buses, trains and best of all, on foot, you will be treated to priceless gems.
I would book a longer trip, then I can indulge more and get into the culture and even volunteer at the Chapelry of KU Leuven. Walking along the river Dijl, truly magical.
We had a lovely stay at the Boutique Guesthouse Leuven this week! The location could not be more convenient - it took us less than 15 minutes by foot to get to the city center and to the Stella Artois brewery, and the train station was just a short walk away too. The room was exactly as pictured, and our experience was very well taken care of, with the property manager consistently making sure we had everything that we needed for a great stay. Would definitely recommend for a future stay!
Great location, the hotel situated right in the centre and easily accessible by public transport. 10-15 minutes walk from the train station. Our rooms were compact with modern facilities ( took us a while to familiarise with the switches and coffee machine!!).
Breakfast was good, great service provided both by the front desk and the restaurant. Highly recommended.
The free breakfast buffet was really great! With that kind of price you can't find it anywhere in Leuven. Plus the location was so perfect! Train station is only 2mins walk. There is also atm machine infront of the hotel and the shopping center is just a walking distance.
Perfectly situated in the centre of Leuven within walking distance of everything. The hotel is pretty cool with a great bar and pool table. We stayed in a suite which was spacious and clean with a fridge, a revolving tv and some lovely toiletries. Very pleased
Really convenient location to visit Belgium! The hotel is right next to the station which makes it easy to travel to Brussels, Ghent, Brugge etc and we really liked Leuven as it was much more laid back but busy enough in the food area to find good food.
The location is really good next to the Heverlee station. Please bear in mind that there are 2 locations possible. The place is quite too. I got a free upgrade too to a double room. The place was clean and the toilet was nice. I got a bike on request.
Perfect location, free parking in front of the hotel, lovely city with good restaurants. Hotel is within walking distance to the train station. The train ride to Leuven takes 5 minutes (one stop). Ideal location for a visit to Leuven.
An excellent location for walking in to central Leuven. Train station is across town about 20mins away, but easy to find. The area around the hotel is very quiet and there was little noise at nighttime.
The hotel was gorgeous and the staff was very helpful! It was located right next to the train station and on the corner of the main shopping street that leads to the other important roads.
Good price for the location next to the train station and the comprehensive breakfast plus a feeling of being in a honorable old hotel. The sink was blocked but this was resolved quickly.
I have stayed here before and this is my second stay here. I like this hotel since it is a Heritage Historic property and is just opposite to the Leuven Train Station.
The hotel is located in the city centre of Leuven. The room is very spacious and clean. The breakfast was also very good, with a wide variety of food and drinks.
