De Doelen  

Die zentrale Lage im Zentrum von Leiden, und Zimmer Nr.13.Hunde gern gesehene Gäste.

Nach Internetbuchung sind zwei Erwachsene mit Kleinkind und Hund in ca 12m² Abstellkammer gelandet, nicht schön.....

Unkompliziert und freundlich.

Es ist ein wenig teuer für was es ist und die Innendekoration ist traurig in einem wunderschönen alten Gebäude. Mit mehr Geschmack hätte man etwas wirklich schön!

Die Atmosphäre im Haus und die Einrichtung insgesamt passt so schön zu dem Städchen Leiden

Uns hat die spontane Hilfsbereitschaft (mit Rat und Tat) und die Freundlichkeit aller Mitarbeiter sehr beeindruckt.Das Hotel ist bestens gelegen, um zu Fuß die Stadt und ihre Atmosphäre kennen zu lernen, wozu auch die Lage an einer großen Gracht beiträgt.

Ein Föhn sollte nicht nur auszuleihen, sondern in jedem Bad vorhanden sein.

I loved my stay at De Doelen - fantastic location alongsisde the finest canal in Leiden. It's a geuine piece of history - which means the full experience I.E. steep narrow steps on the staircase as well as the wonderful high ceilings and original features of a Dutch merchant's house. The family running the hotel are genuinely friendly - my bag was carried to my room without me even asking. I was in room 12 which overlooked the "garden" (a small courtyard) - it was a large twin - very light, spotless, quiet and a comfortable medium-soft bed. The kettle and coffee/tea facilities were much appreciated - they were not advertised. You could ask to overlook the canal, but be aware that this could be noisier. Breakfast was simple traditional Dutch, but perfectly executed in the splendid breakfast room. It was an excellent City Break hotel in quite a romantic setting.

Apart from breakfast, there is no catering, so you will need to find other establishments - there are nearby options along/off the Rapenburg. Unless you ask for a room on the ground floor, the steep stairs could be difficult for someone with limited mobility or having to carry baby buggies up and down. They could make more of the courtyard garden with some colourful pots etc.

Staff were really helpful and the room was light and very pleasantly furnished. We would recommend and will return if in Leiden again.

Old climatic building, in city centre, modest price

It was not possible to watch tv from bed - I had to move a table with tv some 2 metres, then back when I was leaving

Very helpful and friendly staff. We had a luxury room which was large and well furnished. Breakfast is basic but good value. Would stay again.

My parents came to visit and they stayed at De Doelen. The staff was very helpful as my parents can speak almost no English. We have asked to extend our stay for half a day and they were happy to accommodate them with minimal charges. The Victorian look and feel of the hotel is amazing and its location is the best, if you want to be in the center of things. All in all, 9/10.

It could be a notch less expensive.Like 80 euros instead of 100 per night.

Kind & helpful staff, nice neighborhood, good amenities, hairdryer available upon request

Friendly, helpful staff, clean room, old world feel

What I most liked was the quality of the staff, they were curtious, young,dynamic, I would add sexy!

Internet is a nightmare, we don't have internet, so we have to pay for it, and it's very expensive, so this is my point of disatisfaction!

Nice room, great location, very friendly staff (with the exception of a *nasty* manager).

The grumpy manager left us with a very bad feeling. We'll stay elsewhere next time, even though we liked everything else about the hotel.
