Nice stay in Leiden
The hotel was convinently located close to the train station and many eating options. We walked about 10 minutes from the hotel and found a lot of lovely local eateries. We did not eat at the hotel.
Our walls seemed fairly thin as our neighbors were speaking in a normal tone but we heard them. The room was spacious, There was a comfortable couch.

Need more lighting
Customers should be aware of the fact that the hotel has two sections with slightly different names. This is to differentiate what they call 3 star versus 4 star accommodations. The key differentiator is that the 3 star section has no AC and old fashioned high bathtubs which can be quite dangerous for older people with less mobility to use. Their rooms are slightly larger than the 4 star rooms, however. Since my wife has significant mobility issues they were gracious enough to upgrade us to a 4 star room in the new section. With its walk in shower it met our needs perfectly. The only two things that we were not fond of were the two twin beds pushed together (which kept separating during the night) and the very limited lighting in the room.
Other than that the room was clean, neat and perfectly located to the train station so no need for a taxi. The walk into the old section of town was also quite short. The staff was always friendly and accommodating. One of the highlights of the hotel was its restaurant which served very good food - not the ordinary mediocre food typical of most American hotels.

The Golden Tulip ( Tulip Inn) is in a very convenient location. It was only a block from the train station. It had a full service restaurant for dinner on its property. The location was walkable to the center of town and its museums.

Shory city stay in Leiden
Reasonably priced and well located basic hotel. Rooms a bit outdated. Double bed was a plus but the bed felt worn and perhaps some screw or support was missing and frame mattresses keep separating every night. Soundproofing between rooms almost non existent and coversation in normal voice can be heard. There were some noisy renovations ongoing one floor down. A good idea is to inform renovation when booking, now there was no information on it. Service personnel was mainly working for salary. Not a glimpse of warmness or positive service attitude in their face.

I've stayed at this hotel on previous occasions, and this time I was lucky enough to have a room upgrade which was most appreciated. The hotel is closed to Leiden Central train station and also a short walk into the centre of town where there is a multitude of restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay in the town of Zeist. Quiet and very close to nature. The rental bikes were well maintained and it took us 35 minutes (one way) to cycle to Utrecht. The hotel has a really nice cafe that is open late. The front desk were pleasant and they let us check in early! The room was clean and the bathroom had a nice sized tub. My only complaint is that the hotel smelled “old” if you know what I mean. It took getting used to.

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay here. The location suited us perfectly as it was close to the train station as well as being really close to the old centre. Breakfast each morning was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were modern and clean. We didn't think there were enough lights (rooms a bit dark), but that was a minor. We would definitely stay there again.

This hotel is so close to the train station and a lot of shopping and dining opportunities - unbeatable. In room coffee and tea is good to start the day or relax after. We'd stay again. Only complaint - the tub is too high really.

Great location near the train station. Not fancy but all that was needed for the night. Easy to walk around the city from this location. We ate at the restaurant and it was very good. They had a new menu and we enjoyed the vegetarian Wellington, gamba and chicken.
