Prettig, maar niet premium, terwijl je dat voor die prijs wel verwacht.
Pros:

Sfeer en ambiance van receptie en ontbijtruimte. Parkeren was handig, om de hoek.
Mooie en ruime kamer, leuke details, douche was goed.

Cons:

Het bed was smal en je rolde naar het midden (kamer 3).
De uitgang van de keuken zat schuin onder onze kamer, dus er was af en toe wel geluid van.

Lovely stylish hotel
Pros:

I loved the decor. Very lux feeling about the whole place.
Great location - not too close to the city centre but easily walkable. It was a lovely quiet area even though we were in the ground floor.

Cons:

The only thing I'd say is that our room was quite small but value for money was good.

Leiden, zeker met korte "ei".
Pros:

We huurden appartement 216a. Helemaal goed zondermeer. Niets op aan te merken. Volledige gelijkvloers appartement met alle faciliteiten. Een beetje té summier serviesgoed.

Cons:

Het weer. 🫢.
