+ --very close to Leiden Central which is only 15 minutes from Schipol --in centre of Leiden with lovelly walks --no charge for arriving at dawn cf. US who say come back after 2pm! --friendly & helpful staff

- My next stop was Genoa (Italy) and before I realised there was a Golden Tulip hotel 200 metres from the bare bones place in which I stayed, I had already paid for the 3 nights. You need to better advertise locations away from megacities.

Wendy Hawke Excellent midrange hotel

+ Nice big room. Good central location. Helpful staff. No noise from outside or in to disturb us.

- Too cold when we returned to our room during the day, and much too hot during the night! I had to request some tomato sauce at breakfast and when it arrived it was horrible!

+ Perfect location for business trips. Relatively cheap hotel which offers comfort.

- Internet connection: it is a normal practice for hotels to offer free access to Wi-Fi connection to their guest. Unfortunately this is not the case here.

+ Comfortable, nice, clean room, conveniently located very near the railway station. Very friendly service.

- Very narrow beds, not too conducive to comfortable sleeping (I was told they are the standard in the Netherlands). Very expensive internet access (17 euros/day). Unfriendly TV menu/controls.

Yahan Chang Clean, but not really traveller friendly

5.4

+ The breakfast is good.

- the price for TV internet at room showed on TV and on the book were quite different; moreover, the receptionist's attitude was not friendly and she was not willing to help guests understand about the price differences and definition. Besides, although it is 3-star hotel, it is suggested that the rooms still are required to have small refrigerators or water boiler equiped.

James D Conley Great location for Keukenhof

6 April 2009

9.0

+ Very convenient to the train / bus (about a block) - since I was going to Keukenhof for the day and then back to the airport, it was perfect. There are frequent buses (#54) to the garden and it's easy to explore Leiden on foot from the hotel.

Mr DAVIDE FOA Convenient location but the hygiene in the rooms...

17 November 2008

5.8

+ The location is very convenient, at walking distance to Leiden train station. In a very short time you can be in Amsterdam. The breakfast buffet is wide and tasty, and includes a wide choice of sweet and savoury food. The reception at our arrival was quick, friendly and professional.

- The room was definitely not clean enough : one of the bed sheets was dirty - horrible red stripes on the inner side, on which we decided not to investigate furtherly. It was thrown directly into the armoire. In any case, we had the clear impression that the sheets had not been washed (or washed not properly) after the stay of the previous guests. Same negative overall impression about the cleanless the room (moquette, bathroom etc). This is totally unacceptable for a hotel of this level.

- a pubic hair in the bathroom and an m&m under the bed

Anonymous Good location - but please better light for reading in the room.

6.8

+ Location very good.

- The light in the room is totally inadequate for reading. This most important minus point. When I arrived a bulb was defect. The drain of the shower was half clogged. During my 2-week stay a lamp in the bathroom started flickering and had to be replaced. In each of the cases, I had to ask at the reception to repair, even though in the case of the bathroom lamp and drain I waited for some days before saying something. People who clean the room must see the same defects. This means that the persons who clean the room are not interested. What I did not complain about is that there where small black dots at a particular place in the shower. This is some kind of fungus. I might expect better cleanliness. One evining I came back late (after 24.00 h.) and wanted a drink. Some personel of the hotel were taking a last drink after work, but to me they told that the bar was closed and I had buy a beer from the vending machine. I would appreciate a little bit more flexibility; they could have given me a beer (with a glas) to take to my room.

Hilary Gerrard Great location. Comfortable room. Helpful service

- Poor lighting in the bedroom. Expensive breakfast.

+ Clean, very quiet, good price. Everything you need. Good location (though it's hard to have a bad location in Leiden). Very good breakfast.

- Would be nice to have a minibar. I'm always annoyed at how much hotels charge for internet, and in this regard the tulip is just like all hotels.

Linda Good location but overpriced

14 September 2008

8.4

+ Great location. Right across the from the train station, and a 5-minute walk to Centrum. Nice lobby, rooms reasonably comfortable. Expensive restaurant, but the food is quite good. In any event, the hotel is close to many restaurants and coffee houses. The breakfast buffet is pretty good, if a little pricey at 17 euros.

- Very overpriced with little included. A computer with internet service availabe for .35 a minute, or a useless room connection for a laptop for 7 euro per day. Ours would not work, so it was .35 per minute for us. Ridiculous for a business hotel. The same trip, I stayed in hotels in Utrecht and in Germany, all with free wireless AND free use of a hotel computer.

+ Location - easy access to the train station

- Paying for parking (which was not cheap). Room very expensive for what we paid, even with special rate. Felt very much as if we were being ripped off.

+ Excellent location, service, and food. Everyone there was very helpful. We recommend this hotel to any and all travellers.

- The price during the week is somewhat high, but it is probably competitive with other hotels. We certainly received value for accommodation.

- I slept in smoking room even I am a non-smoker; it was terrible. You'd better customer choose non-smoking room. My room was noisy at night, because it was beside the road and on the 4th floor. double glazing was recommended.

+ Location, comfort and breakfast.

- Service: personnel not very kind. One day, when we arrived, we saw that they forgot to put towels. As we requested them to Reception, they answered that at that moment nobody was available; after THREE reclamations, and about almost one hour!, my wife had to go down to Reception to demand the towels.

+ Very close to train station & bus to Keukenhof - walking distance to center of Leiden. Did not try the restaurant. Was upgraded to the 4 star hotel that is a part of the same complex on arrival. The room was very comfortable and quiet. At least 4 windmills within a few blocks walking distance and very close to the university medical center.

- none

+ The above criticisms are quite minor. I had a very nice stay, the hotel was quite nice and reasonably priced, the breakfast was good, the location was good, and the staff were friendly. I will stay here again when I return to Leiden.

- Room was a bit too hot, and by opening the windows it became too noisy. The book in the room said that there was aircon, but I couldn't figure out how to turn it on. Maids arrived at just past 9 am, which woke me as I was sleeping late. Couldn't find a "Do not disturb" sign in room.
