Negative Reviews
negative:
Poor Wi-Fi.
Guests have reported that the free Wi-Fi at this hotel is unusable. The connection is very slow and the Wi-Fi signal is often not available. The hotel charges an expensive rate to use the faster Wi-Fi connection, which many feel is unacceptable.
negative:
Noisy street.
The street that the pentahotel Leuven is located on is quite noisy. You can hear the sounds of the pedestrians and motor vehicles all through the night. The windows and walls need to be sound proofed as it some guests find it difficult to sleep.
negative:
Expensive breakfast.
The breakfast each morning is not included in your room rate and so you will have to fork out quite a lot of money if you wish to have your breakfast at this hotel. The breakfast hours are also very strict which is not convenient for some guests, especially over the weekends.
