Road side room was a little loud.

Loved it all! The nature zoo and casino a bonus!!! So fun to be able to do these experiences after biking all day.

Price for parking and for extra price for my dog was expensive compared to all other places I have stayed.

Fantastic location and historic beautiful old building. Bed was very comfy!

The stairs to the flat are a little steep but they are very old properties so couldn't be helped just be aware! the flat could do with a little TLC in places

The flat was very well equipped and comfortable in beautiful surroundings, the staff were very friendly and the parking (additional cost) was great, one minute walk from flat undercover and secure. Photo is the view outside the hotel,

Lack of a toaster, but this was a minor detail

In spite of the unique layout of my room, distinguished by its captivating aqua-green hue, the absence of a dedicated desk, as well as the occasional chilliness in the evenings despite adjustments to the room temperature, were slight inconveniences that could have been only due to my profile as a solo traveler (and also that the room is only 10m2, as it is specified in the info). About the lack of elevator, they offer staff help for that specific task in case you have heavy baggage. However, these inconveniences were eclipsed by the enduring charm and impeccable service offered by the establishment.

Nestled in the heart of Leiden, the Huys van Leyden hotel offered me a captivating blend of historical elegance and modern comfort. Impeccably preserved, it boasts charming décor and a genuinely warm staff. (I had the opportunity to meet Bonnie, who was the epitome of professionalism, she enhanced my experience with her gracious assistance and her beyond and above patience and kindness with all my inquiries.) In general, the rooms are equipped with modern amenities, from electronic keys to customizable lighting. The sleek bathrooms add a touch of minimalist luxury. I believe that this hotel is ideal for history and architecture enthusiasts, as it exudes a vintage charm that transports you to another era. In essence, this hotel provides an enchanting sanctuary for travelers in search of a harmonious fusion of historical allure and contemporary conveniences—except for the elevator which they mention in the info, but all within an ambiance of timeless elegance.

All perfect

Beautiful small hotel perfectly appointed. The warmest of welcomes and help with finding local services. Wonderful canal side location with easy access by bus to the train/bus station. We were visiting the Keukenhof..Just a short stroll into the centre of lovely Leiden. A truly lovely independent hotel

Nice hotel close to the center of Leiden, old house but nice.

The beds were very narrow, it was a little hard to turn over without falling out. Some of us stayed in the Loft which has lots of space but the wind and rain is noisy (ear plugs were kindly provided). Breakfast was very cute, served on 'high tea' style stacked plates, though no hot options offered as I'd read in the descriptions (maybe because it was Christmas eve?) which made it an expensive choice.

The location is lovely and it is convenient to walk into town. Parking garage was very nearby (though very narrow, sadly our car was scratched badly). The breakfast room was very pretty and nicely decorated for Christmas.

Lovely apartement, staff were very helpful and made our stay very comfortable. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a short stay in Leiden

The fact that it's a historical building has its disadvantages in the form of very steep stairs, with which we got acquainted intimately, as our room was on the top floor.

Visually the room and the hotel itself were a marvel. Chandeliers, paintings, wooden floors, you could practically feel the history. The staff was very nice and helpful and we had a lovely view of the canal.

The weather in November ;) but finally it did not matter so much because the town is full of cosy cafes and bars to escape rain showers. We will return in summertime. Our hotel room was rather small but it is understandable in an old canal house with limited space.

Very kind service, a lovely reception and breakfast room. Everything was very clean. We loved the location by the canal and close (within walking distance) to the center. It was great to stay in a real canal house. First morning the breakfast was incredibly good and rich, rarely seem anything like it. The second morning the way they served it changed and it was less spectacular but still perfectly sufficient and very good. Leiden was even more charming we expected, and the old town area is surprisingly large and well preserved.

Nothing.

Warm welcome, comfortable opulent room in a lovely old building overlooking the canal, quiet location only a short walk from the centre of the most beautiful city.

Second time I accommodated myself here in this fine hotel which has very nice, comfortable rooms (perfect beds!) designed in the spirit of the Dutch's Golden Age. Upon arrival I was offered a free drink during check-inn, much appreciated! Perfectly situated close to the historical centre of Leiden. Very, very kind multi-langue staff helping with everyday problems of travellers (in my case: a.o. I had to have my car parked in the hotel's parking house a few hours longer than checkout / than I had rented the room - it was not a big issue). Highly recommended! Thanks a lot & keep up this very customer-friendly way which is difficult to find these very days! See you soon/next time! In any case, our 12 points ... from Germany ... go to ... the Netherlands! Best wishes to Leiden from Berlin

We were fortunate enough to get a room with a view towards the canal, it was exceptional and I recommend it! We were also served a cup of coffee/tea while we waited for the check-in preparations, which was quite nice :) the bed was super comfy and the staff was very helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Quirkiness

Stayed in October 2023

Some niggles that are fixable. Firstly the drainage of water from the bathroom was very slow - I am glad we did not use the washing machine as I would worry it would not empty. The shower tray filled up and didn't drain which was a worry for flooding - it may have been a simple blockage. The furnishing was very luxurious but there were some practical touches missing - the main bedroom had room for a wardrobe/chest of drawers but all clothes had to be stored in the smaller bedroom and there were only 2 hangers in the cupboard. The second bedroom felt like a bit of an afterthought - kitted out for a small child with the basics but not really a full second bedroom although there was the space to make it one. None of these were catastrophic and, as I said, probabaly easily fixable. I did report the water drainage problem and was assured it would be fixed so I think it must have been a temporary issue.

Very spacious. We had the apartment and it was great to have so much space. The lounge and kitchen/diner and main bedroom were very comfortable. It was quiet and the bonus outdoor terrace was incredible - I would have liked to staty longer. Very helpful staff

Our room was spacious & absolutely beautiful. We were welcomed with free tea & coffee & the gentleman that greeted us was extremely friendly & welcoming. Highly recommended.

With having a full kitchen some basic supplies like oil, salt/pepper would be handy for cooking and a toaster
