Nieuw Minerva  

Reasonable location in Leiden, five minutes walk from main attractions, ten minutes to train/bus station. Decent shower.

Very tired looking hotel and decor. Uncomfortable bed. Double bed is actually two singles, with a cover over both. Ridiculous price for wifi (6 Euro per hour). Breakfast expensive for the range offered.

Good location and price. The room was quiet. The reception staff were very friendly.

The breakfast was not worth the money. It was self service for everything including the coffee and no-one came to even say good morning or check everything was OK. Will come again but not take the breakfast.

The position in the city and the warm old style of the interior.

Location

Breakfast simple. Bed too small television small

Nice room includign all essentials. Nothing luxurious but good value for money. Great location and lovely view.

Booked a double bed, yet was two singles next to each other.

I loved the location on a canal in the old city center, a very convenient location for walking and sightseeing around Leiden, dining and shopping. I chose Nieuw Minerva because it looked charming. The rooms have character and individuality; it isn't an every-room-looks-the-same place. The lobby, parlor, and dining rooms also have charm. It was like staying in a private home. Finally, I thought the front desk staff of young women were superb--very capable, helpful, friendly, offering warm welcomes and greetings as I came and went. They also were very attentive to guests needs and requests (for beverages, ice, directions, etc.) It was one of the most welcoming places I have stayed.

good location.

Saturday night noise from street til 4am! Very little lighting in room... impossible to read.

Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, cozy, very accessible

Only the charges for internet access. Not just by Nieuw Minerva but any hotel these days. (Although I also used the free computer so I didn't pay anything in the end!)

The friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness, and the excellent buffet breakfast. Some of the rooms appear to be themed, and I had a beautiful room that looked like something out of Arabian Nights, with Moroccan lamps, a canopy and shiny cushions.

If you want to work in your room, the bathroom is the only place that has sufficient lighting. (This is true for most hotels, though.) Since the hotel is excellent otherwise, I would suggest bringing your own reading light.

The main feature of this hotel is its location, in the center of Leiden and close to all the sights. The hotel is nicely furnished in Old-Dutch style, the personnel is friendly, the rooms are clean but about as small as they get. It was peaceful and I got a good night's sleep. Breakfast is light (don't expect an American breakfast) but good and inexpensive. I found this hotel good value for money.

The rooms are very small. My towels were clean but so worn that they tore when I used them. My room had a window but looked out onto a tiny courtyard. Very peaceful but no views whatsoever.

Beds & pillows were very comfortable. The shower was also great. ;-) Good location for a hotel. Accommodation was basic, but clean and very comfortable with all the stuff you actually need. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I'd definitely stay here again.

Prices for wi-fi access are outrageously expensive. Silly, in fact. However, there is a free terminal in reception. But it was still annoying.

central location in the middle of Leiden, some rooms are really nice

other rooms are less nice...

close to local facilities - walking distance of station, shops and local attractions

very small bedrooms and original room allocated to us was above the side alley and we had a very disturbed night due to night club. Cost was high for the size of room. Air con would be nice...
