Geweldige locatie voor een klein romantisch avontuur
Pros:

Super locatie in hartje Leiden en de sfeer van en in het pand. Aanbeveling waard!

Cons:

Eigenlijk niets noemenswaardig, maar één extra haakje in de badkamer zou fijn zijn.

Pros:

Die Lage ist toll. Das Appartement war schick gestaltet.

Cons:

Es war niemand da zum ansprechen.
Der fön war defekt, die Heizung im unteren Raum ging nicht. Es gab keine Möglichkeit, sich zu zweit an einem Tisch für ein Frühstück zu setzen.
Sehr dunkel, kaum Licht. Sehr schick, aber wenn man sich bei schlechtem Wetter aufhalten möchte, ist es ungünstig.

Pros:

Prima stadshotel op toplocatie. Goede prijskwaliteit-verhouding.

Cons:

Het leek echt niet schoon. Maar eerlijk is eerlijk, door de gekozen materialen (zoals mat zwart) zie je ook echt alles. Ik denk daarom dat het net zo hygiënisch was als andere hotels, maar je hier de viezigheid beter zag.

Super sfeervol hotel op toplocatie
Pros:

Locatie, sfeer, koffie en thee op de kamer. Goed bed! Self service check in perfect.

Cons:

Erg leuke kamer 6, met trapje naar bed. Alleen balken zo laag dat je wel moet bukken. Voor de mensen die in de nacht richting badkamer willen opletten geblazen.
Make up spiegel ontbrak, ik kon echt niet zien waar de mascara terecht kwam.

Prima, zou deze kamer niet meer boeken door vele trappen
Pros:

De locatie

Cons:

Meer dan 40 trappen om de slaapkamer te bereiken… een uitdaging met minder goede knieën. Geen personeel, toegang met code. Zitgedeelte was op andere verdieping dan slaapkamer. Miste een bank met in zitgedeelte

Stylish accommodation in fantastic location.
Pros:

Beautifully decorated boutique hotel feel. Great location and spacious accommodation.

Cons:

Single glazed windows made it both a bit noisy from the street below (especially early Saturday morning when the market was being set up outside) and quite cold. It took quite a while to heat it up with the AC.

Heel goed meegevallen!
Pros:

De locatie was erg goed!

Cons:

Het duurde een dag voordat we het er warm genoeg kregen met de vloerverwarming en de dunne ramen.
We hoopten op zicht aan de straatkant, maar de kamer zelf was door de indeling wel echt ideaal.
