Hotel Mille Colonnes

Location excellent. Small room but clean. Beds comfy. The breakfast was absolutely fabulous.

Goed gelegen hotel (vlakbij het station), nette en gerieflijke kamer en badkamer. Heel stil. Trappenhal een beetje verouderd. Heel goed ontbijtbuffet.

A small hotel which gave us exactly what we wanted - an overnight stop near the station and the old parts of the city. Short walk into the very centre of historic Louvain where there are interesting things to see and lots of restaurants and bars. Fairly basic room with good bathroom - would have been unsuitable for a week's stay. The price was very reasonable. Up some steep stairs (no lift) - just be aware. Our windows overlooked a square where there were outside dining tables as well as people hanging out. Worried it might be noisy (as we had to have the windows open) but it was absolutely fine. Very tasty breakfast (included). You can see the station across the square from the hotel so no worries about missing your train!

Light in bathroom a bit dim and sink didn't drain well. I would have pointed the sink out to the owner in the morning (it's not an uncommon problem) but we didn't see him.

Decent breakfast. Close to where I was going

Lack of a reception. The owner / manager seemed quite irate when I showed up to drop my bag off at 1 p.m. prior to check in at 3 p.m, despite the literature stating that they were happy for people to drop off bags prior to check in. Check in was then a bit chaotic. The property needs a little TLC in the common areas.
