    Overall good, unless check-in / check-out scheme could have been more clarified.

    Although I had told them for my early arrival, I was only told the number of key locker and its opening code by e-mail. So, I had to wait until 3:00 pm just to be sure, but it seemed that the key locker could be opened much ealier time, thus, I wasted quite a bit of time. Also, the check-out scheme was not specified. Because of my schedule, I could not go to Reception during the day on a weekday, so I could not have chance to ask how to check-out. The day before check-out, I asked how to check-out several times by e-mail & text messaging, however I have get no reply. In the end, I just returned the keys to the same key locker at the check-out time, but I still don't know if it was the right thing to do or not.

    Large & Quiet Room, Very good view. In this time, There was dish detergent and hand soap, but No dishwashing sponges, No kettle, No hair dryer. At first I thought the washer and dryer were equipped in the room, but I was almost disappointed when I did not see them. At last, I discovered that they were in another room across the hallway, which I was able to use.

    Excellent stay. The check-in and check-out process was easy and flexible, which I appreciated. Beautiful and spacious loft apartment equipped with everything that you need. The building has many other valuable amenities, including a bar and restaurant. I absolutely recommend this property!

    It's a really great place only one minor thing to point out

    The only problem was/is that after 4 days of emailing back and forth I still haven't gotten an invoice. I need it because i was there because of work. - Their response time is really slow (one mail a day) - although I forgot to send a few details to make the invoice (mailed the details right after they asked for dem on day 3), it shouldn't take this long to get an invoice. - day 4. They haven't answered me today, so still no invoice But still this is a minor thing compared to what you get out of this place and it's really great, and I am coming back the next time I'm in Leuven. So remember to get the invoice before you check out.

    The whole apartment concept is really great. I love that I can have a place after work, where I can do almost the same as I do at home.

    Stylish, quiet, spacious and comfortable apartment - would stay again
    • Business trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Loft
    • Stayed 6 nights

    The studio did not have any soap (not even dish soap), nor a hair dryer or ironing board. These small touches would make an already excellent apartment really, really superb.

    The apartment definitely has the 'wow' factor. Floor to ceiling windows, wonderful views, heaps of space. Two huge sliding windows to the outside. The furnishings, crockery and finishes are all beautiful. The apartment is really quiet and a lovely place to spend time. Most places 'inside the ring' in Leuven can be walked to from here in about 20min maximum.

    Probably the best place i have stayed during my travels.

    I don't think there was something i did not like.

    De Hoorrn is a total experience not just residence. The entire transformation of this industrial building into a multi-use complex is absolutely brilliant. Our loft was spacious and clean, with top of the class materials and inspired decoration, all together combined with unique views over the city of Leuven. If i could mention a drawback, it would be the dilemma either to go outside sightseeing or just stay in and relax on the comfortable sofa. Good job guys. Well done!!!

    The cleaning quality should be improved - at first glance, all was fine, but the cleaning was not very thorough. Something to improvve.

    De Hoorn is a fantastic, hip location with beautiful design and a great vibe. The loft itself has an amazing view and is furnished in style. The staff is very helpful and welcoming. Quality of the interior is very high and all facilities are foreseen. Great recommendation for longer Leuven stays!

    It would be more practical to have an oven instead the microwave. The sofa was not very convenient

    The location was perfect. Excellent view from the loft. Very good around facilities.
