I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, spacious, and perfectly located for what we needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and courteous, both before our arrival and throughout our stay. Although the dining options were good, I found them a bit pricey. The location, while beautiful, was a little far from the center. Overall, a great experience!

The hotel is conveniently situated between Leiden Central Station and neighboring cities & towns, offering a serene atmosphere outside overlooking the canal. The rooms are spacious, almost like an apartment, with plenty of storage space and a cozy bed. However, the location took some time to find and was a bit secluded from town, limiting dining options to the hotel. Despite this, the peaceful setting by the canal was a lovely place to enjoy meals. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor location inconveniences.

The hotel room was very clean, with a big restroom that had both a shower and a bath. The large bathtub even had a jacuzzi feature, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. I especially appreciated the locker and the beautiful view from the room. It was also very quiet, and the gym facility was great for a workout. The location was not very clear initially, but once found, it offered a nice view overlooking the canal in the morning sun. While it was a bit out of town, the surroundings were pleasant.

The dining experience was enjoyable, particularly in the canalside restaurant which offered delicious food with good portion sizes. However, the lack of restaurant selection in the area led me to dine at the hotel almost every evening.
