The rooms were lovely, clean and spacious, and the building was old and beautiful. The location was fantastic - wonderful street, very central and walkable to cafes, restaurants, the university, and Leiden Centraal. I would absolutely stay here again.

Lauren United States of America

Location was the biggest plus for this hotel. Room was comfortable and fairly quiet. Nice view of the rooftops. Comfortable bed and studio lay out. Luggage was carried up 3? flights of stairs in a small staircase.

Karen United States of America

The room had all modern amenities while maintaining its historical charm.

Marvin United States of America

Good location. It was a bit difficult getting in as this is Boutique so there is no “check in” desk. Owner sends information regarding pin code the day before you get there. Unfortunately, I didn’t have WiFi so didn’t see it. Had two call three times until we finally got into room. No keys in room, they had to deliver. Breakfast was good. Coffee was great. Breakfast is separate $17.50 p p.

Kristi United States of America

Perfect. In the very heart of the city. From the car park the free shuttle drops you off a block away and picks you up right at the front door. Spacious, clean. We got a room facing the garden, and it was quiet even on the weekend when students moved in :)

Balázs Hungary

Great location, wonderful hosts, delicious fresh-made breakfast.

Judith United States of America

The owners were very accessible to any need of ours. The location was perfect, rooms were nice size and beds very comfortable. The breakfast there was delicious. The area also was an easy walk to sights and great restaurants were on the same street. The perfect place to stay in Leiden.

Kathleene United States of America

The room was spacious, clean and well furnished, with a lovely rain shower and free tea and coffee in the rooms. The aircon kept us cool during the July heatwave. Great location near very good restaurants.

Elizabeth United Kingdom

The room was very cozy, I felt like I was at home for one week. The room is not too small and very comfortable. Great location!

Chiara United Arab Emirates

Fantastic room - amazing bd. Best central location in Leiden. Close to shops, restaurants, canals. Fantastic friendly staff. Small & high typical dutch stairs, maybe not the best if you have limited mobility. Beautiful fresh clean room. Very big comfortable bed. Great shower. Lots of room, did not feel squished with our luggage in the room. I will stay again.
