Hotel di Herent

When we checked into the hotel they wanted to take a photocopy of our passport. When we didn’t want them to do this they insisted that it was because we are Dutch. I would like to suggest management to look up the European law on photocopying passports and ID cards which states that it is forbidden for other than financial Institutions and notaries to take photocopies of identity cards. There was a threatening air at reception with three men at reception claiming that they had the right to take a photocopy of our passport. In the end they noted the passport number although they kept insisting they were right. The room was clean, however very noisy and smelly from the food of the restaurant downstairs. The soap in the shower was finished and the airconditing made a lot of noise but didn’t cool the room. There was nobody at checkout and the outside door could only be opened from the inside, not the outside.

This hotel has an excellent price/value ratio for a city centre hotel. The rooms (305 and 306) are perfectly adequate for a short stay. The staff were friendly. One negative: when we came back from dinner there was a sewer smell in the bathroom of 306. We ran some water through the sink and the smell is dissipated after a while. One thing to note: the entrance to the car park is VERY narrow. My car is 1m75 wide with mirrors folded and this is the absolute maximum that I would attempt to park.

I spent 4 nights here, only a place to sleep really. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast included, which was a decent continental buffet. Location was great for me, next to the railway station. A subway next to the hotel led to platforms and the main station on the other side of the tracks. Reception is actually on the road above the subway, but there is a paved path , designed for cyclists I guess, which avoids using the steps. Bring your own kettle as none in room. Bed was comfortable and I knew about the lack of wardrobe or drawers. I was on the top floor and had no noise from outside.

Stayed here for 3 nights while attending the F1. The hotel is in a good location, only 10 mins walk to the bus/train station and places to eat. Nice lobby/bar area. We only had breakfast, so we can't comment on other meals, but breakfast was more than enough. Plenty to choose from, hot food, breads, pastries, cheese, meats, waffles etc.., The room was large with plenty of storage space. Fridge is provided and contained a complimentary bottle of water. Tea and coffee facilities are provided with paper cups. They were not replenished during our stay, so not enough creamer to last 3 days. I'm sure they would have been available had I asked, but it would have been nice to have it there when we returned late at night. The shower room was clean and shower gel provided. Nice fluffy towels provided. We had a separate toilet. There are plenty of sockets/USB ports in the room. Choice of TV channels was disappointing but I didn't go to sit and watch TV. Check out was quick and easy.

Room was huge and spotlessly clean. Very comfy bed and ecxellent aircon as it was hot outside. Cleaning can be changed for a drink and this is an excellent concept as I didn’t need room cleaned during a short stay. Location couldn’t be better. Walkable also from Leuven station.

Lang weekend in Hotel The Shepherd geweest Mooi schoon hotel. Alles zag er netjes en goed uit. Mooie kamer, alleen glazen schuifdeur naar de badkamer en toilet geeft weinig privacy. Badkamer is maar klein, en heeft alleen een douche. Kamers werden goed schoon gemaakt en voorzien van nieuw bedden goed. Goeie bedden. Ligging naar oude markt en eet en drink gelegenheden perfect, ideaal hotel om een paar daagjes in Leuven te vertoeven. Wifi is goed en gratis. Ontbijt was gewoon goed verzorgt en ruim voldoende. Rustig hotel, weinig last van herrie in het hotel zelf. De school er tegenover zorgde tot laat in de avond en vroeg in de ochtend voor de nodige herrie (overlast) d.m.v. harde muziek. Het parkeren tegenover het hotel kon niet, dus bij de Q-park parkeergarage moeten parkeren, dit kost je 22 euro per dag. Is makkelijk bereikbaar, zowel met de auto als te voet. Alleen bij het hotel kost parkeren schijnbaar maar 15 euro. Je moet tijdig bellen om dit te bespreken anders is er geen plaats!! Alle bezienswaardigheden op korte afstand. Moet zeggen dat 1 a 2 dagen Leuven voor ons voldoende was.

This hotel has one star, but its breakfast is first class with a good choice of food to suit most people . the room was comfortable if somewhat basic there was some noise as its located on a square by the rail station but we slept well. staff very helpful ,it had a nice menu and two happy hours at the time of our stay. A short 10 min. stroll to the centre and from the stella brewery note that there are only tours on a weekend. we will return to this hotel again

This was our second stay at this hotel. This time, we used it as a base to visit Brussels. The hotel is right by the station. Frequent trains to Brussels take about 20 minutes. Leuven is about 15 minutes by train from Brussels Airport. Very good sized room. Clean. Very quiet. No train noise. There is a safe in the room. But, surprisingly, no fridge. Excellent WiFi. Staff are very good. We asked for extra pillows and they were delivered promptly. Comfortable sleep. We didn’t have the hotel breakfast, but Café de la Gare was very good for coffee and croissants. We would definitely stay here again.

We hadden een grote studio met 4 echte bedden en een bedbank die we niet gebruikte. De bedden waren prima. En we verbleven in studio 409. De kitchenette heeft een koelkast, twee elektrische pitjes en een waterkoker. Helaas geen koffiezetapparaat. De badkamer heeft een fijne inloopdouche, wastafel en toilet. Jammer dat het toilet in zo’n groot appartement in badkamer zit. En er was een inloopkast. Alles is duidelijk stevig gebruikt en zou wel een opfrisbeurt kunnen ondergaan. De studio was netjes bij aankomst. Wat wel bizar is is dat de receptie echt pas klokslag 15.00 open gaat. De ligging inde stad is natuurlijk helemaal top. Eigenlijk zou ik 3.5 bolletjes willen geven maar dat kan niet.
