This has become our favorite place to stay in Leiden - the location, accommodations & staff are exceptional.

Katherine, United States of America

Nice location. Seemed like you could walk anywhere in 10-15 minutes, including the central station and University. Breakfast was wonderful. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Dan, United States of America

Perfect location, friendly English speaking staff, historic & lovely

Kathleen, United States of America

Everything is fabulous! From the beautiful apartment, comfy bed, picturesque view, great location, wonderful service and everything you ever need is in the apartment. Nespresso machine is definitely cherry on the top for me. Very embarrassingly, I left my teddy bear in the apartment and they were so kind to mail her to my next destination for me.

Rina, South Africa

The property is incredibly beautiful, the rooms are gorgeous, and comfortable too. They're a little small, but that's normal for such an old property. It's quiet, very well located and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Alice, Netherlands

Bed was very comfortable and clean, the staff were very helpful and allowed us to check in early and allowed us to keep our car securely parked even after check out as they had a parking space free. The Wellness Suite was very good and clean.

Stephen, United Kingdom

Beds were comfy but stairs are very steep. Not suitable for seniors or disabled persons.

Sian, Canada

Superb breakfast area and menu. Good value for money.

Randy, United States of America

The hotel is located in a quiet residential part of town right by a canal (20 min walk from train station). I stayed in the Loft and it was a large apartment hotel with a nice view of the canal outside. Hotel staff were courteous and efficiently assisted me in checking in and checking out. Overall a very relaxing stay.

When booked a room with booking.com, there was no information, that sauna is infrared. Would be nice, if in spa and wellness area would be small table where to sit, and it was a little bit confusing- no wc. And in the hot tub, the water was to hot for us, but there was no options how to change water temperature.
We very enjoyed peace and quietness, very well decorated room, really clean bathroom. ..

“Outstanding Central Accomodation with Canal View”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Loft
- • Stayed 1 night
Character attic room with beautiful furniture, comfortable bed, quiet at night and fully equipped kitchen. The Nespresso coffee machine was particularly welcome in the morning. Enviable canal views easy walk to the centre, station and museums, the National Museum of Antiquities (Rijksmuseum van Oudheden) is here. Run by the nicest people and the rooms are spotlessly clean. Note, there are some steep typically Dutch stairs if that worries you, I was fine. There is a large Albert Heijn supermarket about 10 mins walk away in Hooigracht street if you want to stock the fridge.

Note that what we would in US the first floor is called the ground floor in Netherlands. The stairs are typical "Dutch" style with railings, but if you have issues make sure to ask for the ground floor.
Nice location. Seemed like you could walk anywhere in 10-15 minutes, including the central station and University. Breakfast was wonderful. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Nothing however I must mention as its a typical old Dutch house the staircase could be an issue for guests with mobility issues, accessing the upper floors are via a fairly steep spiral staircase. If you decide to stay her it might worth speaking to the owners first and secure a ground floor room.
Everything, Gaston & Lorenzo the owners couldn't have been more helpful & friendly if they tried. We had a charachterful top floor room with exposed beams which was well appointed, tastefully furnished with a view of the canal. The bed was super comfy there were plentiful towels & complimentary toiletries & the room had the benefit of air con. On checking in we were offered a complimentry drink & sat at the bar while Lorenzo gave us an introduction to the area & history of the house. The buffet breakfast which is served in the adjoining house was fresh & well laid out with the offer of freshly cooked eggs etc if requested. They also offer a 3 course set evening meal option for a reasonable price which we took advantage of on our first nights stay Leiden is a lovely town & if ee need a stopover in the area we will definitely return.

You need to like steep Dutch stairs to reach the large bedroom. If you do like them it’s not a problem.

“Charming stay in Leiden”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Loft
- • Stayed 2 nights

Some of the amenities in the Loft were a bit AirBnB-ish (no conditioner, no slippers...etc.). I also wouldn’t stay in the Loft if climbing 3 flights of steep stairs is an issue. Some of the cutlery provided in the Loft were not very clean. There was also some construction going on around the hotel and the Loft and the weekend nights can be a bit noisy due to the partying of university students.
The hotel is located in a quiet residential part of town right by a canal (20 min walk from train station). I stayed in the Loft and it was a large apartment hotel with a nice view of the canal outside. Hotel staff were courteous and efficiently assisted me in checking in and checking out.
