8/10 Very good

Good hotel, noisy and ugly location

Hotels.com should be ashamed of the picture used for this hotel. This hotel is on a busy road junction close to the station not next to a beautiful waterway. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest canal. Nothing wrong with hotel/ room/ staff etc if you want to be close to station and don’t mind the loud traffic noise 24 hours a day

8/10 Very good

Nice and convenient.

Nice and convenient location. Nice and clean rooms and the breakfast at the nextdoor restautrant was nice too. There are, however, nicer hotels for the same price in Leiden. The check-in was a bit odd as it's unmanned and required you to use your booking code, which is NOT the same booking code as Hotels provides you with.

Cool and vibrant hotel next to Leiden Centraal

We stayed at the Hotel Vic whilst touring The Netherlands. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable and the hotel as a whole was fantastic - smart and well located. We loved the vibrant decor, which made for a fun and vibrant stay. Leiden Centraal Station is just over the road and the city centre is only a few minutes away, but our room was lovely and quiet. There is a branch of Bagels and Beans just a few hundred metres away, which became our daily breakfast spot and which we would recommend also.

8/10 Very good

Great location for the train station and bus to Keuchenhof. Fun style, clean and safe and despite being outside a traffic junction we weren’t disturbed by any outside noise. We had a small fridge in the room, a decent hairdryer and the mini market downstairs was handy. We had a great stay; it met our needs for exploring Leiden, jumping on the train/ bus to go exploring elsewhere.

4/10 Fair

Didn’t feel safe during the night.

Some two employees opened our door midnight. At first I was scared it was somebody not working at the hotel, but luckily it wasn’t! They apologized instantly and left. We are two girls alone on a trip in Europe, so this got us really scared - we didn’t feel safe the rest of the night. Due that we didn’t really get sleep and the day after was horrible trying to stay awake in the train so nobody would steal our stuff. And no, we did not get offered any discounts - just a sorry, which is fine but still: how does this happen? Also it was a bit noisy at night, but that might just have been that we were so awake. However, nothing bad about the room, check-in or breakfast. Check in was very quick and easy.

8/10 Very good

Modern hotel, big room and great facilities. TV was damaged but we weren't really using it. We had a bit of trouble finding the car park as it wasn't sign posted from the main road.

6/10 Good

Good and Bad

The positives were close to the station and the old town, good beds and breakfast was okay. The negatives were being on a busy junction, building is an old office block and the restaurant in hotel next door is not well run.

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel I have stayed in years

Hotel room smells really bad — I have window open all day and it still smells like an uncleaned toilet (mold? Human excrement? Dead mouse? I can’t tell). When I first got in the toilet bowl is covered with feces from the last guest I assumed. I will never go back again. I stay in hotels 100 nights every year, this is the worst I have been in years. Stay away at all cost.
