Top Leuven Hotel Reviews

Thon Hotel EU

Thon Hotel EU

10/10 Excellent
"Large high-rise hotel very close to the main EU campus in Brussels and directly on the METRO lines 1 and 5 (Maalbeek Station). Modern rooms with large bathroom, mini fridge and coffee machine. The breakfast is particularly good with a very large variety of food. A great place to stay, particularly when the EC/EU is not in session. A quick ride on the metro to anywhere in the city. Connection to the BRU airport by bus or train is a short walk (1 metro stop) to the Schuman Train and Metro station. Connection to the Centraal Train station is three Metro stops."
