Stayed here for 2 nights. It's in a really good location right near the canal and about 5-10 minutes walk from the main town. The rooms are nice but all different so have a look at the rooms first before deciding which one to have as they do vary in quality. More

There are quite some miixed reviews about this hotel on Tripadvisor. It is not a Hilton hotel. It does not charge Hilton prices. So you get what you pay for and on that base, it is value for money. We spent 3 nights in this hotel and we had a decent room in a corner upstairs and it was quiet,... More

I needed somewhere to stay in Leiden and my Garmin pointed me in the direction of Nieuw Minerva. It was just what I needed after a long drive from UK. Lovely old building, pleasant staff and a room with a view of the canal - if it had been light! The bed was confortable, but the room could have done... More

I had to stay here since other hotels were fully booked. The location is fine, next to a canal which is nice, and five minutes from main attractions, ten to train station. The hotel lobby is very dated, as is the decor in the hallways and in the room I had. Breakfast room is fairly shabby - they have tried... More

This hotel is in a pleasant location by a canal. Mornings were noisy because of construction work on a bridge right outside, but it looked as if it should be completed soon. The decor and furnishings were tired in my compact double room but it was clean. As well as the room being compact the bathroom was tiny - the... More

Stayed at this hotel whilst on a tour of holiday. Booked a twin bedded room but was given a room with a large bunk bed and a double bed in it. Clearly a family room which was spare. Room had no resemblance to the pictures. It was very plain and in need of refurbishment and like most of the hotel... More

Agree with all previous reviews. Would like to add: Cleanliness definately lacking. Found two soft drink bottles and a stocking under our bed (not ours) when we were leaving and we had stayed their four days! Soap bottles not refilled in shower and at basin in bathroom. Towels too thin and well passed use by date. Breakfast very dull and... More

I was looking forward to staying here based on reviews from other sites as well as the hotel's web site itself. However, this is one of those places that sounds/looks better than it is when seen in person. This was the third and final hotel of our bike trip and it was chosen by the tour provider to provide a... More

Well situated within walking distance of everything you need in this town. The room was disappointingly small and poky given what we paid and the en suite shower could not have been tinier. The mattress was really soft and saggy and sleep was disrupted in the early hours by someone smoking and letting off the fire alarm. Breafast was good... More

A pleasant and friendly place to stay. Well located on a canal (so you know you're in Holland) and close to university and the main shops. Surprisingly to me smoking is still allowed in hotels and the third floor rooms are allocated to smokers and there are dirty smokers ashtrays at top of stairs (pretty disgusting to me). So make...
