“Irish College Leuven occupies a former monastery near Leuven's old center, and that history shapes the experience. Expect quiet rooms, some overlooking a courtyard, and a simple breakfast that caters to various dietary needs. I think its blend of basic comfort and historic setting is its greatest strength.”
