6.0
  • (Families with young children)
Will not stay here again.
  • + Well situated in Leiden with easy walking access to the city.
  • – No free parking nearby and very few paid spots. Hotel does not feel like part of a major chain. The room we had was cramped because the two beds were 6 inches from the wall where there was a beam keeping them from being pushed back further. All plugs were out when we got into the room and the heat had not been turned on. The window overlooked a small enclosed balcony that was ugly and blocked any view of the outside street. The shower head was so high on the wall that I could not adjust it.
  • * my tip Don't come with a car.
8.6
  • (Travelling alone)
Good, fairly priced hotel in Leiden city center.
  • + Good location; convenient access to the city center and the university, as well as restaurants.
  • – Club on ground floor on the weekend was unappreiated; too noisy to be in a hotel.
8.2
  • (Families with young children)
Reasonable room with space for kids
  • + The family room was great for us, since it had two bedrooms. We have three small kids, so two shared the king-sized bed, and one slept in a travel bed that we brought. The location is perfect -- walking distance to the train station and downtown Leiden.
  • – On-street parking only, which is 12 Euro/day and sometimes tricky to find. The hotel is pretty bare-bones, with a fairly depressing lobby, if you want to call it that, and breakfast room. It is perfect if you don't need all the bells and whistles, just a clean, safe place to stay.

A special athmosphere
  • + huge windows, special athmosphere, wooden floors, very friendly staff

TOP LOCATION HOWEVER FOR WORST SERVICE!
  • + It's relatively affordable price in comparison to other hotels in the city and location.

  • (Travelling alone)
Great Choice!
  • + This was a wonderful choice. The rooms are spacious and bright. Everything is newly renovated and tasteful. The staff is excellent. Lieden is a great alternative to Amsterdam. It is so close by train to both Schipol and central Amsterdam but it has the charm of a smaller city.
