Lovely Leiden

Nice,traditional period hotel, overlooking a canal. 5 adjacent buildings joined together with antique furniture here and there. Friendly, helpful reception, nice breakfast. Super location for wandering around the very attractive university town of Leiden. Only downside is that cars have to be parked 800 metres away in Haagweg public car park. ( expect to pay about €23 overnight).

Loistava sijainti, pienehköt huoneet

Ihan kelvollinen hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla. Huoneet aavistuksen pieniä, mutta siistejä. Aamupalassa pientä toivomisen varaa näin suomalaiseen makuun, sillä pöydästä ei mitään vihreää löytynyt.

Very cosy hotel with unique character.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Continental breakfast very good with amazing freshly baked bread straight from the oven! The hotel is in a very historic building, so the rooms are rather basic, but this is part of the charm in my opinion. Location is excellent, right in heart of historic Leiden with shops and restaurants very close by. Very cosy hotel with unique character.

Hyvä hotelli!

Mukava persoonallinen hotelli hyvällä sijainnilla. Vanha rakennus, äänieristys voisi aina olla parempi, mutta hotellin tunnelma on loistava. Ystävällinen palvelu. Kahden hengen huoneet tilavia, yhden hengen huoneet hieman pieniä.
