Pentahotel Leuven was well located for walking pretty much everywhere i needed to be, and there was easy access to transportation if preferred to walking. The staff were friendly and professional. I asked for a quiet room and never heard a sound. The gym is small but functional. overhall, it was a lovely stay.
