So much about the hotel is pleasant and charming that I regret giving it a low rating because of street noise, which makes it impossible to sleep without ear plugs.

My wife and I stayed at the College Hotel for two nights in August 2009 as part of an Inter-Rail trip through Belgium, Luxembourg and France.

We were after someting very central (as we wanted to walk everywhere) , good... more

We stayed 5 nights at the charming College Hotel in October 2008. I agree with all the other positive comments, and also had the pleasure of Room 22 with its private terrace. At first I was also disappointed with the hand-held shower because I have back problems and it is hard for me to sit or squat in the tub.... more
