At ibis Leiden Centre, most guests praise the ultra-convenient location beside Leiden Centraal and the friendly, helpful front-desk team, while rooms are typically compact and simple yet quiet, with mixed feedback on bed comfort and pillows.

Prima verblijf in Leiden. Fijne nette hotelkamer, kortom een fijn hotel voor prima prijs. Zeer vriendelijke medewerkers en 's morgens een heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt. Op loopafstand van het centrum. Parkeren het gemakkelijks in Parkeergarage Morspoort, dichtbij het hotel en betaalbaar.

A very central location, right next to the main train station and just a few minutes walking from the old town center, and thus close to shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. Check in went smooth, instructions for car parking were clear and I had the most amazing room, right on the top floor with a good view on all the train traffic. The room was clean (even though I arrived right after Leiden's celebration day, 3 October), everything worked as intended and I had a good stay.

2 nachten met 3 personen in het Ibis geslapen. De kamer was veel te klein voor 3 personen. Er was weinig ruimte om spullen neer te zetten. Laat staan alle 3 onze koffer uitpakken. Verder was het wel dicht bij het centrum en kan je alles lopend doen. Parkeren kan ook dicht bij voor €16 per dag. Al met al redelijk voldoende

They didn't clean the floor of the room during one week, so we had to ask the stuff to clean it. Sometimes the cleaning starts at 10:00 a.m., but sometimes late at 3:00, p,m. The stuff at the reception were quite helpful and responsive, solving all the problems. Great!

Great location - less than five minute walk from the train station, and about a five minute walk to the old town of Leiden. I had a small single, which was clean and perfect for my needs. My room faced the old town so I had a nice view of the windmills and church towers.

Perfect for train and bus station, next to a couple of supermarkets one of which stays open until 10pm. 5min walk to centre of Leiden. Pillows are so soft that you need to fold and fold and fold. Shower wasnt very powerful and the temp constantly changed depending on what other people were doing. Breakfast was nice for a budget hotel. TV is basic, but had a few UK channels. Free WiFi which was actually really good throughout. Overall a comfortable stay for a budget hotel. Would stay again.

In a longer review for a second recent stay, I shared at some length many positives of this property in terms of convenient location for either Leiden exploration or travel (train or bus), proximity of some practical necessities, friendly staff, plentiful & varied breakfast options, presence of an in-room kettle for tea/coffee prep, and good use of space in the room. But, I forgot to add one key plus for summer travel and one that I particularly appreciated on a multi-day stay in August - the HVAC system (one of those individual sorts that's mounted high on the wall) is both quiet & effective. That made all the difference in terms of good rest in the evening.

Negativ: Trotz online Check In, nach dem man angeblich sofort seinen Schlüssel bekommen sollte, hat der Check In unverhältnismäßig lange gedauert. Die Dame an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich, aber offensichtlich war der Check-In schlecht vorbereitet.

This IBIS met expectations. I requested and was given a room with a view of the train station to watch the trains and the commuters. The view is a very lively show of frequent trains coming and going, and the room was quiet – noise was not a problem. There were enough electrical outlets to charge two iPhones at night and the WiFi was fine. Breakfast was satisfactory. The water is fine for drinking or filling your water bottle. The rooms are large (for an IBIS) and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. The bed covering was a heavy comforter, without a top sheet, which is is very common now. A top sheet on the bed would be nice, because sometimes the comforter gets too hot at night.

We selected this hotel for its proximity to the train station and busses and it well lived up to that plan. We also found the hotel staff to be very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was good. In terms of what we did not like, the beds were comfortable when all the components stayed aligned but we found they seemed to come apart more than we'd have expected/preferred. Additionally, the room was very small, which we knew in advance, but it was not comfortable to be in such close quarters when we were in the room together and we could not have stayed there much longer.

The bathroom was small but with a good shower. My only complaint would be terrible pillows! Lovely helpful staff. There is a bar in the hotel. We didn't eat breakfast in the hotel as it was very expensive. All in all a very nice place to stay.

Very pleasant hotel, near the train station, so it's very convenient if arriving by Eurostar etc into Amsterdam. (Or Schiphol airport). Great views of the city, which just a short walk away (Leiden is quite compact). Good breakfast (if a little pricey). You can leave luggage too, and we could check in early. Not a "destination" hotel perhaps but very pleasant and everything you need as a base for exploring and enjoying this lovely city and the surrounding area.
