Een fijn verblijf in het centrum van de stad
Pros:

De locatie is fantastisch, pal in het historische centrum van Leiden. De kamer is erg comfortabel, met veel ruimte en goeie bedden.

Cons:

Op de tweede nacht hadden we bovenburen, waarvan we elke stap en elk woord konden horen. Ook de stijle trap tussen de verdiepen is niet zo toegankelijk - zowel voor mensen die minder te been zijn, als mensen met hoogtevrees.
