Top shelf! We booked last minute as we weren’t sure where we would end up on our roadtrip. Our room-with three beds as requested-was ready when we walked in. The room itself was lovely-well appointed and very comfortable. The balcony was also really nice. The on site restaurant is wonderful and ending our evening with drinks on the canal was perfect. We added breakfast and it was fantastic. We will absolutely stay again!

Het is een net en schoon hotel. De kamers zijn goed geïsoleerd, dus oordoppen zijn niet nodig. De locatie is prima, je kunt er goed parkeren en voor het hotel stap je zo op de bus richting het centrum/station, waar je ong in 7 minuten bent. Het ontbijt is goed, uitgebreid. Dat mag ook voor die prijs. Ik zou het zeker aanraden als je wilt overnachten in Leiden.

Vermeiden ! Dies ist kein gutes Hotel !

Schlafzimmer im Keller - darauf kommt man nur wenn man maximalen Profit aus kleinstem Invest umsetzen will. Zustand - SEHR in die Jahre gekommen, Papierspender verrostet, Elemente der Badewanne verrostet usw. Matratzen in einem miserablen Zustand wenn man darauf liegt klappt man zusammen wie ein Schweizer Taschenmesser... Sauberkeit - schlecht, Handtücher mit braunen Flecken werden einfach hängen gelassen, Teppichboden schmutzig, Sessel schmutzig usw Katastrophe, viel zu teuer und eine miserable Nacht verbracht.

Hayal kırıklığı

Oda tozluydu. Banyo radyötörü toz içinde. Terlik, diş fırçası yok. İki single yatağı birleştirerek çift kişilik yatak yapmışlar. Gece yataklar ayrıldığı için arada uyumuşum. Genel olarak beğenmedim. Ödediğim ücrete kesinlikle değmedi. Kahvaltı gibi bir yemek de yedik, servis, peçete getirmediler, yemekler geç geldi. Personel yaklaşımı kibardı.

Ziet er sjiek uit, goed verzorgd, behoorlijk schoon. Schoonmaak is fijn, personeel vriendelijk. Goede uitvalsbasis om te overnachten voor een weekend Leiden. Ligt centraal, naast busstation voor bus 43. Ontbijt is uitgebreid en ook van de dinerkaart is veel te kiezen, voor ieder wat wils! We hebben een fijn verblijf gehad, geen minpunten!
