Pros:

De ligging was heel goed

Cons:

Ze noemen het een boutiquehotel maar ik miste wel wat zaken. Vooral het feit dat er geen ontbijt bij zit en dat je flink mag betalen voor oa jus d'orange uit een pak!Geen doucheproducten(er hing wel iets in de douche maar stond geen beschrijving bij wat het was), niemand om je persoonlijk in te checken, schimmel in de douche en een douchekop die dringend ontkalkt moet worden. Zeer gehorig. De lokatie weegt niet op tegen het bedrag vind ik persoonlijk maar ja..

Excellent location
Pros:

Location was excellent, room was clean and bathroom had all amenities.

Cons:

The stairs heading to the rooms were very narrow. It was hard to manouvre while wearing formal attire, especially wearing heels…
The bed at the top room is cramped in a corner with angled roof, so you have to be careful if you want to get up.

Beautiful location, but the room wasn’t really luxurious enough to justify the relatively high price.
Pros:

The location was perfect - very near the Hortus Botanicus & University and within walking distance of all the sites

Cons:

The staircase up to my room (on the 2nd floor) was steep & narrow. Although well lit it would be quite a struggle with heavy luggage.

airbnb at luxury hotel price
Pros:

excellent location and cute houses. big rooms

Cons:

this is called ”boutique hotel”, which apparently is dutch for ”airbnb at luxury hotel price”, since it’s not a hotel, neither on a larger level (there’s no staff and only a handfull rooms spread over two town houses), nor at the smaller level (no toiletries, no bathroom mat). still the price is higher than most hotels.

it’s not accessible for someone with any type of mobility issues or elderly persons since both houses have very steep and narrow staircases

Heerlijk verblijf in hartje Leiden.
Pros:

Tweepersoonskamer: Perfecte locatie, mooie rustige kamer aan de achterzijde. Zeer groot comfortabel bed met heerlijk katoenen dekbed. Water en koffie/thee aanwezig. Goede informatie vooraf over check in en parkeren.

Cons:

Kussens waren wat slap en voor dit geld zou het fijn zijn als je een keuze hebt. Badkamer had wat schimmel plekken.

Charme et confort
Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter Leiden, dans une charmante maison située dans une rue pavée très romantique le soir, surtout attablés dehors au restaurant de fruits de mer d'en face (Bistro Maris), qui a aussi une terrasse sur la place de l'église.
La chambre est grande, bien équipée et d'époque avec sa cheminée.
Petit déjeuner simple, mais correct dans la jolie salle du rez-de-chaussée. Personnel jeune et serviable.

Cons:

Rien qui ne concerne l'hôtel. Le vrai problème est la distance entre l'hôtel et le parking le plus proche (le Parking Leiden Centrum, 8 Haaweg) très grand et cher. Il y a une navette gratuite qui amène prés de l'église Pieterskerk, mais qui ne marche que dans un sens à notre connaissance.

Pros:

Hervorragende Lage im Zentrum unmittelbarer Nähe der Grachten, süsses kleines Stadthaus, gemütliches und geräumiges Zimmer

Cons:

Das Frühstück - lecker aber nur ein Bagel mit Marmelade oder eine Scheibe Brot mit Rührei für 15,00 Euro, Kaffee und Tee wurden extra berechnet, mega steile und enge Wendeltreppe - kein Koffer möglich nur Reisetasche, Parken ausserhalb der Stadt allerdings kostenfrei mit Park and Ride Service, durch die Lage direkt in der Stadt bis nachts um 2 Uhr strasenlärm, für junge Leute die etwas Nachts etwas erleben möchten und fit sind (Treppe) sehr gut geeignet

Pros:

Very cosy room in a traditional Dutch house, so the stairs are typically steep, narrow and winding. This is part of the character of the building, but it may be worth bearing in mind if you have mobility issues or large luggage

Cons:

A mosquito screen on the window would help.
