10/10 Exceptional

Lovely Leiden

Nice,traditional period hotel, overlooking a canal. 5 adjacent buildings joined together with antique furniture here and there. Friendly, helpful reception, nice breakfast. Super location for wandering around the very attractive university town of Leiden. Only downside is that cars have to be parked 800 metres away in Haagweg public car park. ( expect to pay about €23 overnight).

Nice place to stay

Nice place to stay in lovely Leiden. Great staff and will definitely stay here again when on business in the area

The hotel was very quaint and the staff was very helpful. It was located right along the canal with easy access to restaurants and the Saturday market.

Great little Hotel

Super place to stay. Very convenient to everything

6/10 Good

The place is right in the center of Leiden, which is awesome. My room was on the opposite side of a busy street, so I couldn’t really hear any noise from outside. There’s no elevator though, so if you’re unlucky, you’ll be hauling your bags up two flights of stairs. The room numbers are kind of all over the place, so it took a bit to figure out where mine was. The room and the building are definitely on the older side—could be a plus if you’re into that kind of vibe. One thing that bugged me was how strict they were about check-in. I thought the check-in time was already kind of late, but I wasn’t even allowed to pay or do anything when I got there early. Everything had to be done strictly during their set check-in hours, which felt weird since most places I’ve stayed at are way more chill about that.

8/10 Very good

Stayed for two nights to visit family. Hotel clean, typical dutch building steep staircases, but nice views from secon floor and very quiet at night as Leiden is relatively car free in the centre. Hotel has nice old world feel.

10/10 Exceptional

Very cosy hotel with unique character.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast very good with amazing freshly baked bread straight from the oven! The hotel is in a very historic building, so the rooms are rather basic, but this is part of the charm in my opinion. Location is excellent, right in heart of historic Leiden with shops and restaurants very close by. Very cosy hotel with unique character.

Nice hotel in the centre of Leiden

This hotel provides good value for what you pay for. It is a charming little hotel in the city centre, walkable distance from the main university and many likely tourist destinations. The hotel itself was in good condition, the staff were cordial, the room was modestly appointed, but this is to be expected given the price. I appreciated the fact that the hotel had a decent continental breakfast option, which made the logistics of my visit simpler.

8/10 Very good

very nice hotel

Was in Leiden for the university for a few days. Convenient neighborhood, everything perfectly comfortable and clean. The building's a bit old but in good condition. Only thing to be aware of is that there's no elevator - my room was on the third floor, and I was happy I'd packed light.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful downstairs reception and bar; great to have storage for our bikes. Super breakfast and breakfast room. Lovely to have interesting ornaments and antiques in display. A minor criticism was the lack of umbrellas to borrow as it was raining hard when we arrived.

6/10 Good

Lovely location

Had a short business trip to Leiden and wanted a historic hotel on the water. The location was lovely, the room clean and comfortable, and the hotel had a quaint charm about it. Unfortunately there was construction next door and renovations in the building. If I go back to Leiden I would still consider staying here again but would ask about any activity within and around the hotel.

4/10 Fair

Terrible beds, no air

The hotel is friendly, but the bar is full of drunks. The room has no air circulation, and I could feel the bed springs. Good water temp.

Old town near Leiden centraal

It is a nice hotel with a nice breakfast. I also had dinner twice and it was good. Nothing fancy, but good and reasonably priced. The room I had was a bit small and they have lots of pillows and a comforter on the bed which waists a lot of space once you take them off the bed. The cabinet is a bit small as well. But overall, it was a very nice hotel in the old town and in walking distance from the train station.

6/10 Good

very average hotel

A very average hotel in a good location. The room I was in was dark even during the middle of the day. No coffee/tea making facilities in the room. The room was also facing onto a noisy bar and on one of the 2 nights I stayed there there was noise coming from the streets right into the middle of the night. The hotel staff however were friendly and helpful.

4/10 Fair

No elevator, no heat or AC, low water pressure for shower, small room. Bad smell on upper floor. We do not plan to return.
DAVID, 6-night trip

6/10 Good

Good central location for eating, bars and shops. Unfortunately room wasn't cleaned on one of the days. Mentioned this to staff early evening around 6pm and later when returned to hotel at 10pm when it still had not been cleaned. Staff only said they didn't know why not. Used cups left in the room for 3 days and no clean ones left when they were all used. Specifically had to ask to get them changed.
