Positives -- The hotel is located in the middle of old Leiden, which means it is convenient to restaurants and the train station. The lobby is great gathering place to meet people. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Less than positive -- The small, plain room is a place to sleep and nothing else.

I stayed here for the night while traveling for work. The hotel is nice and the themed rooms give a little excitement to your stay. I would say that it is a little over priced for what it is. The rooms are comfortable and warm (I could control my own heating) and the bathroom was clean and had a great... More

A very good hotel. We had read mixed reviews about the hotel but our rooms were very good. Rooms were clean and comfortable and well decorated. Staff were warm and friendly. The main difficulty was reaching the hotel - we were travelling by car and the one-way system in Leiden makes it a lottery to find the hotel - it... More

Myself and my partner stayed at this hotel from 28th-30th September. When we arrived tired at 11pm we were given a room at the top of the hotel (3 steep sets of stairs, no lift, no offer of help with bags). The smell of damp upon entering the third floor was overwhelming and our room smelt musty also. As two... More

The hotel is located right on a bank of a channel. Our room was nice, clean, big, with a view on the river, it´s just few steps from the most beautiful part of Leiden.

Stayed as part of a Tulip Cycling Tour. The hotel is 3 old building combined into one building. An interesting melding of three buildings not designed to be a hotel. Sometimes it works sometimes not. Free wifi only in the lobby. Good hotel for value.
