Great location and large room. Very steep steps. So this hotel you get your key by email. Check in is at 3 so no early check in is available. Lots of restaurants near by. Really enjoyed our stay.

Firstly this isn’t a hotel. It’s a self-service apartment. No breakfast! We didn’t meet a member of staff during our 3 day stay. The room was stunning, super view out onto the canal, plenty of space across two floors (duplex). I’m nearly 70, live in a bungalow and suffer mild back problems occasionally. So here’s the downside, the apartment was on the top floors with over 50 steps up a narrow spiral staircase. Not for the feint-hearted. It wouldn’t put us off returning but you need to be aware. The other issue for back-sufferers, is the lack of a comfy chair with back support. The small round sofa looks twee but for me was unusable due to lack of support. The two high bar stools were not much better. On the Wednesday there was a fantastic market along the canal. At night there’s a level of student exuberance going on until around midnight but nothing that should stop you sleeping. The local bars and restaurants are wonderful. We came for the nearby tulip festival and Leiden was very convenient for transport. The bed was very comfortable and the aircon very welcome as it was quite warm when we stayed. The small kitchenette was fine although we didn’t eat in. A good stock of tea bags and coffee pods was free and can be topped up in the entrance to the apartments. Overall, the location was superb, likewise the canal view. The room was a fair price for the size, condition and location. We had a great time, albeit with scary stairs.

Room was clean and very neat. Place is very interesting and a great location.

Een heel mooi hotel met een top locatie. Omdat het een hotel zonder personeel was vond ik het spannend maar dit hoefde niet alles was tot in de puntjes geregeld. Bagage kan ook nog steeds eerder afgegeven worden en ook na uit check daar nog blijven. Tot een volgende keer.

The hotel is on one of the city's canals in a very pleasant location. Many restaurants and cafes around the property. Room was nice more like a small apartment than a hotel room. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet despite the number of cafes and restaurants close by.
