This hotel was located very conveniently across from the train station. The self check-in system didn't work for us (it asked for a code that wasn't provided when our booking was confirmed online), so we had to call someone to help us. But, when there is staff in the lobby, they are always friendly and helpful. Our room was great--spacious, comfortable bed, nice view. Interestingly, the outside of the building is quite soundproof from the noise of the city, but the interior walls are not--we were able to hear sneezing, snoring, and the alarm in the morning of the people in rooms next to us. It was convenient having a mini fridge in the room, and the shower was really nice. Would stay here again, but will bring earplugs next time in case of noisy neighbors!

This hotel was great, clean, modern, quiet. Right next to the train station and a two minute walk into Leiden with shops & restaurants. All staff were lovely. The room was spotless, modern with big windows, blackout curtains, a coffee machine, fridge, smart TV with Netflix, great AC and wireless charging stations by the bed. Would happily return!

End all automatic check-ins please
When we arrived we found it was an automatic check-in which required a reservation number. I did not have one (found out later it had been emailed after I left home and I never check emails when away - that's why i go away - to leave it all behind!! A lady appeared and gave us the numbers and we then had to compete on a keypad all our details - it took forever and was far worse than just speaking to the desk clerk. Got there in the end with her help. so she could have done it anyway. Everything else fine - check-in awful!!

This is an outstanding hotel. The rooms are spacious and cute, and very clean. The hotel is right in the middle of Leiden, right to a very picturesque windmill and intersections of several canals. The management is excellent. I forgot a bag in my room after checkout, and right when I landed from my flight, they already had sent me a message discussing how to return it. So it's a safe and wonderful management as well.

Funky Dutch style over content.
It seems there’s only 1 person ever at “reception” and there’s a “self check-in” process which is over complicated and needed the receptionist to complete for us (5). No USB ports in the room, just induction charging places which, unless you’ve got a device that uses that technology, you’re stuck. The coffee machine in the room was broken and reported as such. Nothing was done about it. The hotel design is modern funky Dutch, with a self service “honesty” shop in the reception area which included drinks, snacks & phone chargers/cables (I guess because most people brought USB charger cables for which there were no sockets in the bedroom ). Air con worked well in the bedroom, it was quiet, the bed was comfortable and the shower functional (albeit shower gel bottle empty…) No restaurant facilities. Location is a short walk from Leiden Centraal bus & rail… a 10-15min walk into the old city. Value for money…? average/OK.

Modern spot in Leiden
Great location right next to the train station and easily walkable to everywhere in Leiden. Very modern decor. No reception staff which makes check-in very difficult, especially when booking through a third party provider. Rooms are nice, very modern. No kettle in the room for tea, only a coffee machine.

Modern and clean, large room
Room was clean and ready on time. Nice sized room, and we liked having the toilet, shower and sink all in separate areas. Hotel had a modern feel, everything felt new. We got there early and appreciated the luggage storage so we could explore the town. Only issue was with check-in, as booking through hotels.com didn't give us their internal booking number which we needed for the self check-in, as the hotel is primarily set to for self check-in. Fortunately somebody did come by to look this up.
