Pros:

La mise à disposition du parking et du casier à vélo m'a été bien utile

Cons:

Je regrette que le personnel (accueil, service table ...) ne parle pas un mot de français
J'ai pris un repas le soir de mon arrivée, un tartare de boeuf ; je l'ai mangé car j'avais faim mais il était en réalité inmangeable tant il était épicé. Je n'y ai pas retrouvé le goût de la viande !!!

Un très bon hôtel étape intéressante car bien situé dans cette très belle ville
Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé, personnel accueillant. Les chambres spacieuses et propres. Très grand lit

Cons:

Petite douche mais ça allait, le petit déjeuner servi par le personnel, trop d’attente, une seule personne pour tout l’hôtel c’est trop juste je préfère le buffet.

Pros:

Fijne ruime kamers met lekkere bedden en balkon. Bij de receptie een koffie automaat, heerlijk. Mooi uitzicht op de Rijn vanuit de ontbijtzaal. Goed bereikbaar vanaf de snelweg en ook makkelijk naar het centrum van Leiden per auto.
