“This budget option has a superb location, but some may find the rooms too compact; light sleepers should also note that not all rooms have windows that open. I would say that, for a no-frills stay in a prime location, this hotel is a reasonable choice, provided you know what to expect.”

What past guests shared about their stay
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Ibis Budget Leuven Centrum is appreciated for its prime location next to the train and bus station, making it effortless to explore. Guests find it a great value, especially noting the modern, clean, and recently refurbished rooms. The rooms for three are comfortable and well-organized, while a supermarket just below the hotel adds convenience; however, some guests have mentioned the absence of drinking glasses in the rooms. With its proximity to major points of interest, many restaurants, and safe walking areas, it's a fine place to stay in Leuven, with parking available next to the hotel for a fee.

Acceptable, but small rooms

tiny room inadequate space
The location is convenient, right next to the train station.
The room was surprisingly tiny. To actually sit on the toilet, one must leave the door open. Talk about privacy. I had to store my suitcase under the bed just to be able to move around.

Practical stay near the station

easy check-in convenient location helpful staff secure locker
Check-in was quick and easy. the location proved very convenient, especially with the train station being so close (it made day trips effortless). the staff promptly addressed my request for an hdmi cable for the tv. I thought that was really helpful. i appreciated the luggage locker, it was secure and easily accessible.
the room was a bit smaller than i expected, it made moving around with luggage slightly difficult.
Facilities
