Great staff, Nice location. Average breakfast. Not in very good overall condition. Okay shower. Horrible bed. The bed is the main reason for the low mark. Lumpy and uneven.
James, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location was amazing although overlooking the square, it was noisy. Room was clean but some areas worn down and not spotless. Overall enjoyed my stay and recommend the hotel.

4/10 Fair

The hotel should have been classified as an “up-market back packers hostel” The whole place, with the exception of the Breakfast Room, was tired and shabby and in desperate need of a makeover. It was indicated that parking was available - yes in the City but NOT within the hotel. Overall very disappointing experience.

Clive, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very, very noise surroundings Not a single night sleep without being woken up mulitple times by noise from the street or the bars. We stayed at 3rd floor - but still very loud. The location is central - but still we were taken by surprise of the very noisy area.

2-night trip

8/10 Very good

An old hotel, although clean and all worked well. A great stay for the money. Across the road from the railway station, and about a 15 minute walk to the old town. A good breakfast, good shower, no safe in the room.
Karl, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Faire enough

The whole stay was good. The breakfast was amazing. The only problem was that the single room with the one bed, this one bed is really small and the room is small in comparison with the double beds rooms. Next time I would prefer to book a double bed room.
GEORGIOS, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel near the train station. Very good staff front desk. Comfortable room. Was getting hot and open windows was a bit noisy. Staff were buying fans for the rooms which would be great.
Allen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is a typical European hotel, smaller rooms, but kept up nicely. Staff at reception, housekeeping, breakfast and bar/restaurant were excellent, friendly and helpful. Location in Leuven is fantastic. You can walk everywhere from the hotel within 20 minutes. Very convenient to train station and taxi stand if needed. Restaurants and very close. A very nice 10 day visit.
Timothy, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location. Clean and comfortable rooms. Right near the train and bus complex. Easy walking to the great restaurants and shops in Leuven. Very safe area. The train is 15 minutes to Brussels airport. So convenient. Have stayed at the Royale three times so far. Excellent. Nice breakfast buffet. Restaurant on premises.

6/10 Good

when we arrived, at 7 pm, there was no receptionist. we were given a different room than what had been required and the person in charge (waitress) couldn't help much as there was no receptionist available. Given that the hotel for that day was fully booked, they should have a person in charge to support customers.
Julia, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay at this property overall. The room was small but that didn’t matter as we were not there to spend much time in the room. It was a very clean property with breakfast included which was delicious. The 2 points that I’d say did not meet our expectations would be the pillows as the 2 they provided were very small and did not provide the support we were used to and the unavailability of a fan from the hotel. Due to the buildings age it didn’t have any air conditioning which was understandable but the window did not provide any air circulation and the hotel did not have fans available so we had to go buy one or we would not have slept. Now that is a personal preference so it’s not the hotels fault. Overall we would stay there again, the patio options are endless in the area and the train is extremely close for easy access to anywhere you want to go.

Das Haus liegt zentral am Bahnhof, Marktplatz und fussläufig zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten. Der Empfang war freundlich und ohne Komplikationen. Wir hatten 2 Zimmer im 4 Stock , etwas klein ,wenig Platz ums Bett , aber für 1 Nacht ging das. Frühstück war reichaltig und lecker. Nächstes Mal würden wir andere Zimmer buchen bzw. haben wollen. Dennoch kann man das Haus für einfache Reisen empfehlen.
