Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The premises are a medieval hospital where nuns used to treat patients. Now the building hosts a number of rooms for cultural activities, as well as a small theatre and an exhibition room (in the former chapel). The door on the street side will be open when there is a temporary exhibition (usually free of charge).

The ‘Romaanse poort’ (‘Romanesque Gate’) is one of the many minor sights in Leuven. At present entrance gate to a cultural centre, it is easy to miss. Yet it would be a pity not to have a closer look at this elegant gate because it is all that remains of the early 13th century buildings of Saint Elisabeth hospital. It once gave access to the large infirmary hall, which was demolished in the 18th century.

The public courtyard of Brusselsestraat 63 (Brasserie Improvisio) offers an interesting view on the (16th - 18th century) buildings of the former hospital, the hospital chapel, the home farm and Augustinian nunnery.

Besides being an attraction, it's not soooo interesting as to spend hours looking at it. But, if you're eager to, it's very detailed, and every detail was really cared about. Good spot for photos.
