What guests think
At Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Leidse Square, travellers praise the convenient, walkable location near trams, museums, and restaurants, while repeatedly noting very compact rooms; most find the decor fun and beds comfortable, though storage and bathroom privacy can be limited.
Housekeeping and cleanliness are generally good, but servicing is often on-request or every few days, and a few guests reported missed cleaning or occasional issues. Service is frequently described as friendly and helpful with smooth or even early check-ins, though some encountered unresponsive or curt staff and self-service processes. Expect straightforward facilities with steep entrance stairs and a small elevator, occasional street or hallway noise, and a simple breakfast that many enjoy but some find basic or pricey. Best for light packers and sightseers who prioritize location over space and full-service amenities.

Nice hotel just outside what used to be the outer canal of the city, 400 yrs ago. Easily walkable to the Rijksmuseum. And everywhere, really. Tram 17 is a block away (behind the property) and there are others that stop at Leidse Sq., just across the canal, including the express from the airport. Breakfast is good, although I only went twice out of the 5 days. The coffeemaker in the room is good, and there's a little fridge so you can keep milk and snacks. There are 5-6 steep steps from the street, so it's not really handicapped accessible. My room was comfortable and quiet. The only odd thing is there's a window in the wall right next to the toilet; it's frosted, but still, if you're there with a companion, you're a little bit on display, it feels like. Weird design choice.

Check in and out were simple and the room was small but clean and nice. The seethrough door next to the toilet is a bit odd but otherwise the room was perfect for our needs. I wouldn’t say the rooms are sound proof but most places are not. And the stairs to enter may be difficult for those with accessibility needs, but that applies to a lot of places in the area. The coffee and kettle in the room were great and the small convenience store downstairs was helpful after a late night. Would stay again.

Overall it was good. Perfect location? But rooms are super small, and the hotel needs better maintenance. Elevator is super slow and the stairs are not the safest, specially the main entrance.

Stayed overnight at this hotel in a budget room. Whilst the room was the tiniest it was very clean and fresh and had all the facilities, ie toilet and shower, fresh towels shower gels etc. Also had a safe, mini fridge etc. The bed was so comfortable. They have a screen in the reception to check-in and out where your room cards are authorised and where you return them when you check out. There is also help with the process if technology is not for you. They have a room to store your luggage should you wish to collect it later following check-out which is secure. Reception is brightly decorated with a small bar but clean and well maintained with comfortable seating areas. Walking distance to city shops bars restaurants, leisure trips on the canal is a 20 minute walk. Would stay here again.

Had a VERY small basement room - was quiet - but TINY with a LOT of steps. Would not recommend this hotel for anyone with mobility issues- the front steps are almost a ladder 😬! Many hotels are closer to “downtown” - about a 20 minute walk away from Anne Frank house. Found old candy spilled under edge of the bed - so minimal vacuuming had been done in a while. First time in Amsterdam- so hard to compare what one “should” get for $225 per night - but we were a bit disappointed.

Gute Lage, freundliches Personal, sehr kleine Zimmer (Badezimmertür war sehr durchsichtig). Check in konnte man selber machen, was sehr schnell ging. Leider waren wir während einer Renovation im Hotel und am morgen früh waren direkt vor unserem Fenster Arbeiter, sodass wir nicht mehr schlafen konnten (die Fenster waren auch kaputt und nur mit Folie bedeckt, deshalb hörte man alles von draussen).

Great location. Close to museums, cafes, bars, coffee shops and transport links including the AirPort Express bus #397 (bus stop Leidesplein). Hotel is really easy to find and get back to, but is far enough away from craziness to be super quiet at night. If you want to party you can get on tram and go 4-5 stops and everything you want is there. The standard room we stayed in was incredibly small. Bigger people or those that was a bit of elbow room would really struggle. My wife and I managed fine. Room was modern and clean with plenty of electrical sockets, plus tea and coffee making facilities (no milk though). Breakfast was very nice, though there was not a great deal of choice - for instance the only items available hot were scramble eggs and Poffertjes (mini, puffy pancakes), there was not an option to put bread through toaster or warm croissants, but again, we made do and had a lovely breakfast. Orange juice was very good and there was a good choice of teas. On arrival they asked us if we wanted the room cleaning or clean towels to just request it - which I think is excellent, who does that at home daily anyway? So much better for environment. There also a water fountain in lobby for refilling bottles. Overall, I think the price we paid for bed & breakfast was very good value for money and we would happily stay there again and recommend to others, especially those who want to be slightly away from the partying and closer to the more cultural sights.

A very central location with lots of transport options. The Vondelpark is very close, and it is easy to talk to the Jordaan, Damrak, and the 9 Streets. The room was quiet and well appointed. We were able to check in right away even though we arrived very early in the morning. The lobby has a fountain to fill up water bottles on your way out the door.

Everything was clean. Room was super small, barely a little path around bed to walk around but we already knew that reading to other comments. We really didn’t mind for the price, so we went in knowing it was no so spacious and that was ok. Check in was smooth, lobby and bar, were super cute. They have elevator. They have stuff for you to buy in the lobby, like snacks or toothbrush, etc.. and is self service. The first day we have a problem with the toilets seat, we saw it leaking (probably something we do wrong) but we notified front desk if they could come and check it, never did. Thankfully it wasn’t anything mayor. We read on the comments that people checking you in were super helpful and nice, maybe we didn’t have luck on that part but also I kind of understand them, sometimes people can be super annoying. I witnessed a gentleman checking in at one time, and he was super entitled and kind of rude with the person at the desk, so maybe they are just tired of people like that. We loved the location, we walk 3 min. To tram and bus station also walking distance from tourist streets, restaurants am bars.

Position is excellent, facilities and room are quite nice overall - but we had an issue that the staff has been unable to help with. The hotel runs a eco-friendly campaign for rooms cleaning every third night, and during our 4 days stay it was raining everyday, so the room floor and carpet became quite dirty with leaves, water and whatever we were bringing from outside - even if we were getting our shoes off as soon as entering the room. I have asked the staff to clean the room 4 times - once during the early online check-in, twice via their web app accessible via a QR code in the room, and a last time to the front staff. We have been reassured it would have been cleaned, but it hasn't been, and there was no light cleaning equipment available.

The hotel is beautiful, the location is conveniently located within walking distance of all major attractions. However, the bathroom door is clear glass and leaves little to the imagination when someone is using the toilet. Room service is done only every 3 days: they didn’t replace the empty tissue box, towels, or change the sheets after the three days when they came. Rooms have hooks, but minimal surfaces for storage.

The only thing I was disappointed about was that I'd booked a slightly bigger room hoping to avoid getting an attic/top floor room with low ceilings and a small window... but that's what we ended up with. Otherwise, it was quiet enough, the bed was comfortable, breakfast was good (lots of food options, though it's the same every day), and the location is excellent. We could walk just about everywhere, there are lots of good restaurants close by, and the neighbourhood is a bit quieter than areas closer to Central Station.

Very clean, nice decor, good location, bed comfortable (firm but not too firm). The room was compact but had everything we needed at a reasonable price for an expensive city. The only thing I didn’t like was that there was a frosted glass wall on one side of the bathroom facing the bed, giving little privacy into the bathroom when you needed to have a light on in there. Otherwise, a great stay and would highly recommend

The hotel design and decor was enchanting, lots of tongue-in-cheek artwork. Most importantly, the bed was extremely comfortable!!! As well, the room was a perfect size for me (double rm). I was pleased with the location, close to shopping, museums, and restaurants and to a main bus station. Downside? The entrance steps are small and steep, so you have to be careful going up and down. My room was at the front of the hotel and I can imagine it would be noisy during high peak season. I would stay here again!

Nice hotel just outside what used to be the outer canal of the city, 400 yrs ago. Easily walkable to the Rijksmuseum. And everywhere, really. Tram 17 is a block away (behind the property) and there are others that stop at Leidse Sq., just across the canal, including the express from the airport. Breakfast is good, although I only went twice out of the 5 days. The coffeemaker in the room is good, and there's a little fridge so you can keep milk and snacks. There are 5-6 steep steps from the street, so it's not really handicapped accessible. My room was comfortable and quiet. The only odd thing is there's a window in the wall right next to the toilet; it's frosted, but still, if you're there with a companion, you're a little bit on display, it feels like. Weird design choice.

Great location. Close to museums, cafes, bars, coffee shops and transport links including the AirPort Express bus #397 (bus stop Leidesplein). Hotel is really easy to find and get back to, but is far enough away from craziness to be super quiet at night. If you want to party you can get on tram and go 4-5 stops and everything you want is there. The standard room we stayed in was incredibly small. Bigger people or those that was a bit of elbow room would really struggle. My wife and I managed fine. Room was modern and clean with plenty of electrical sockets, plus tea and coffee making facilities (no milk though). Breakfast was very nice, though there was not a great deal of choice - for instance the only items available hot were scramble eggs and Poffertjes (mini, puffy pancakes), there was not an option to put bread through toaster or warm croissants, but again, we made do and had a lovely breakfast. Orange juice was very good and there was a good choice of teas. On arrival they asked us if we wanted the room cleaning or clean towels to just request it - which I think is excellent, who does that at home daily anyway? So much better for environment. There also a water fountain in lobby for refilling bottles. Overall, I think the price we paid for bed & breakfast was very good value for money and we would happily stay there again and recommend to others, especially those who want to be slightly away from the partying and closer to the more cultural sights.

A very central location with lots of transport options. The Vondelpark is very close, and it is easy to talk to the Jordaan, Damrak, and the 9 Streets. The room was quiet and well appointed. We were able to check in right away even though we arrived very early in the morning. The lobby has a fountain to fill up water bottles on your way out the door.

The Leonardo Hotel was a great location for seeing museums, close the Centraal station. The hotel had quirky decor, a very helpful desk staff. Showers were really small but functional.

Very good hotel with great location. Tram and bus stops near and a lots of restaurants and super markets. The room size was convenient, not so spacious, but works fine. Breakfast was not expensive, but not many hot dishes. Service was good and loved that they had a self check-out market with all the essentials. Only thing i didn't like was the glass wall in the bathroom, located just beside the toilet, in front of the bed, which leaves no privacy at all. But overall, good hotel, would recommend.

Excellent breakfast buffet. I suggest you pay the extra charge to include breakfast during your stay. I wish there’s a ramp at the front of the hotel to wheel our luggages in. There’s only stairs at the front. Staff are friendly and the hotel is always clean. I will definitely stay here again when I come back for another Europe vacation.

Nice property, but very pricey for what you get. The shower seemed to have a bit of mold on the bottom where the glass meets the floor, and the bathroom smelled a bit musty. The breakfast was good and the staff was wonderful, friendly and helpful. Special shout out to Edward! I just wish it was a little less expensive.

Excelent location. Everything was good except that the air conditioner, which was incredibly loud and thus unusable. Luckily for us it was spring time and fine without it. Breakfast is fairly basic but can be handy if you want the convinience.

The room was comfortable and well‑equipped, providing everything needed for a compact Amsterdam‑style hotel room. The location of the hotel was excellent, with everything within walking distance. The surrounding area felt very calm and safe. Buses and trams are close by, and you can reach the hotel from the airport with a single direct bus. The breakfast was good, although a bit more variety would have been great. The staff were friendly and professional throughout the stay. I would recommend this hotel if you prefer a smaller hotel with an excellent walking location near the city centre, close to the Museum Quarter and Vondelpark.
