Top University of Leiden Hotel Reviews

ibis Leiden Centre

8/10 Good

"Staff were kind and helpful"

Intercityhotel Leiden

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and ideal. The hotel is ideally situated close to the train station. The WiFi worked well. I would definitely stay here again."

Hilton Garden Inn Leiden

8/10 Good

"Bathroom was tiny, could barely stand in the shower and flooded floor as shower door kept opening as only partial door and swings open if you touch it. Room was clean, hotel generally clean (one incident with someone staying there and their dogs making messes on elevator), used the gym a lot, was small but worked for me. Restaurant was pricey, and the bartenders couldn't make any drink not on their menu (very strange) but the wait staff in general seemed new. Property was clean and convenient to public transportation."

Boutique Hotel d'Oude Morsch

10/10 Excellent

"The most charming hotel we have ever booked! Fabulous location on a pedestrian street & a canal, next to a windmill. Bridges on both sides. Fantastic breakfast with more food than we could eat. Walkable to lots of museums, shops, restaurants. We did not want to leave! 10 stars!"

Tulip Inn Leiden Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Requiring a full breakfast buffet was not to my liking -how about I can just get a cup of coffee and a danish or croissant? Inability to set the thermostat for your own room was kind of frustrating because it was a little warm."

Hotel VIC

8/10 Good

"We had a good time at Hotel VIC! It was clean and the staff was very nice. Our only complaints are that checking in and out was difficult after booking through Expedia (we weren’t given the reservation numbers which were needed to check in / out on their automated system, and there wasn’t anyone staffing it when we needed to check out), and that the mirror / low lighting situation in the rooms make it difficult to apply makeup. Overall a good experience though!"

City Hotel Rembrandt

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel in the centre of Leiden not far from railway station and restaurants."

Boutique Hotel Steenhof Suites - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Quiet hotel, well located. If you struggle with stairs, book a room on the ground floor as the stairs are very steep in the Dutch style."

Breathe Boutique hotel Leiden

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff comfortable room only negative bathroom shower needs a handrail"
