Below is a list of affordable hotels in Leuven (30-50 Euros/USD per single room
per night). These hotels are located in the centre of Leuven, opposite the
train station; they are within walking distance of the conference site. Since
there will be a number of other conferences taking place in Leuven in mid-September, and because the number of affordable hotels is limited, we advise
you to book a room at your earliest convenience. It is possible to book on-line
on the indicated websites.
There is also a limited possibility of B&B accommodation at the Augustinian
monastery, 20 Euros per night per single room. The monastery is situated
outside of central Leuven, and you will need to take public transport to get to
the Institute of Philosophy (a bus leaves every 15 mins. from the nearby bus stop,
the ride takes around 5 mins. The last return bus from central Leuven leaves shortly
before midnight). If you are interested in this accommodation, send a e-mail to
beata.stawarska@hiw.kuleuven.ac.be with your name and the dates of your stay.
Due to a limited number of rooms, we cannot guarantee a room for
everyone.
If you prefer to take the taxi from Brussels airport, you will need to exit the airport building and hail one of the taxis waiting in front . The ride from Brussels Airport to Leuven will cost you around 50-60 Euro/USD, depending on traffic.
