Top KU Leuven Hotel Reviews

NH Brussels Airport

10/10 Excellent

"NH Brussels Airport Hotel exceeded all my expectations! Although figuring out the airport taxi pickup was a little complicated, that was more of an airport issue than a hotel issue. Once everything was sorted out, the pickup and drop-off services were excellent. The location is fantastic, especially for anyone looking to explore Brussels. The hotel is just a 2–3 minute walk from the train station, making it incredibly convenient to travel directly to Brussels Central and the downtown area (the train takes 25 minutes to get to the downtown area). Despite being right across the street from the train station, our room was wonderfully quiet, with absolutely no noticeable train noise. The hotel itself is modern, clean, spacious, and beautifully lit. Our room was comfortable and well-maintained, and the staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They were more than happy to answer all our questions about the train system and the room, which made our stay that much better. Honestly, this was one of the best hotel experiences I could have asked for. Between the excellent service, modern and comfortable rooms, convenient location, and peaceful atmosphere, everything was outstanding. I would absolutely recommend NH Brussels Airport Hotel to anyone visiting Brussels, and I would happily stay here again!"

"Very nice hotel, everything was great."

Hotel Louise

8/10 Good

"This is my second stay in the hotel (room 92 this time) and I did have a nice stay there. There were, however, some minor nuisances that went in the way of the experience that need to be taken care of. 1. the bath room sink was blocked and it needs immediate attention because the sink was getting filled up quite quickly. 2. This was not really a problem for me during my stay but I can see that being a problem to others down the line especially people who will rent the same room (92) in winter. The balcony door needs to be sealed better because I felt draft coming from there. 3. This just me being a little picky here but more tea bags and coffee would have been really appreciated. The staff provided everything I needed but it would have been been better to have enough tea and coffee in the room. Other than that, there isn't really any issue I can think of. I had a great stay and I will definitely consider the hotel again when I visit Brussels again."
