I've been at this hotel a number of times and in many other hotels in town as well, but the New Damshire offers the best quality for price. Hotel is clean, efficient, sober and well kept. Staff has always been very kind and supportive, rooms are mid-sized with enough space for a work desk, bathroom and wardrobe. Furniture is quite... More

Good: Very nice staff, location, and ok breakfast Bad - really bad: Extremely loud - could e.g. hear the snoring of my neighbor and also the alarm clocks from lots of rooms and the pillows which were very high and hard and one could feel the pieces of foam rubber inside. More

Hotel New Damshire is located near Leuven's Old Market (Oude Markt), but is far enough away that you won't have to worry about loud, late-night revelers. The location is really great as a base-camp for seeing Leuven, though you'd be better served staying somewhere nearer the train station (on the east end of town) if you're using Leuven as a... More

I don't have anything against basic, comfortable, clean hotels but this one wasn't really comfortable. The room was rather small with an extremely basic closet (not a single drawer in the whole room). The mattresses sagged and were very uncomfortable and the pillows seemed to be made out of god knows what, very lumpy and weird shaped. The room gave... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for four nights instead of camping for the Rock Werchter music festival. We also had a friend stay with us so had a triple room with two beds pushed together for us. The hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk from the train station which is where the festival buses left from.... More

Stayed in this hotel night before and after an interview. Hotel is very clean and staff very helpful and location is excellent if a tourist. There is no room service or food available at the hotel in the evening although there is a small bar, however it is very close to the main square which has loads of cafes etc.... More

... but Leuven is not a good place to look for a hotel. It seems this charming university town doesn't have many possibilities for accommodation, and so, prices for *** match what would go for ***** in other places. The New Damshire is, I think, the best hotel in the mid-range, so if one wants to pay around € 100... More

This is a very nice, basic but very clean hotel. We stayed there a few times whilst our friend was working in the University. It is very central and has plenty of bars and restaurnats nearby. The rooms are comfortable - not huge, but just enough size wise. Ask for a bedroom at the back though as the church bells... More
