Great location for the train station and bus to Keuchenhof. Fun style, clean and safe and despite being outside a traffic junction we weren’t disturbed by any outside noise. We had a small fridge in the room, a decent hairdryer and the mini market downstairs was handy. We had a great stay; it met our needs for exploring Leiden, jumping on the train/ bus to go exploring elsewhere.

Good hotel, noisy and ugly location

Hotels.com should be ashamed of the picture used for this hotel. This hotel is on a busy road junction close to the station not next to a beautiful waterway. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest canal. Nothing wrong with hotel/ room/ staff etc if you want to be close to station and don’t mind the loud traffic noise 24 hours a day

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was very clean and had a super comfortable bed. The thing I would have preferred is a shower door that was not transparent. More privacy would have been better for a stay with family/friends.

Didn’t feel safe during the night.

Some two employees opened our door midnight. At first I was scared it was somebody not working at the hotel, but luckily it wasn’t! They apologized instantly and left. We are two girls alone on a trip in Europe, so this got us really scared - we didn’t feel safe the rest of the night. Due that we didn’t really get sleep and the day after was horrible trying to stay awake in the train so nobody would steal our stuff. And no, we did not get offered any discounts - just a sorry, which is fine but still: how does this happen? Also it was a bit noisy at night, but that might just have been that we were so awake. However, nothing bad about the room, check-in or breakfast. Check in was very quick and easy.

Big Neon Room

I personally love the neon vibe, the room was big and bathroom was very nice. Read a lot about how hard check in was, but was pretty easy for me. Probably one of my favourite rooms I’ve been in.

Modern and clean hotel in the nearby of Leiden centre. The room was big and prepared with details care. The self check in is a little bit uncomfortable and it seems be made to not give trouble to the staff, but it results annoying.

The overall impression is good! We would prefer a person at the check in/out desk instead of the screen. Breakfast at Golden Tulip is not very attractive, too crowdy. Everything else was nice!

This hotel was located very conveniently across from the train station. The self check-in system didn't work for us (it asked for a code that wasn't provided when our booking was confirmed online), so we had to call someone to help us. But, when there is staff in the lobby, they are always friendly and helpful. Our room was great--spacious, comfortable bed, nice view. Interestingly, the outside of the building is quite soundproof from the noise of the city, but the interior walls are not--we were able to hear sneezing, snoring, and the alarm in the morning of the people in rooms next to us. It was convenient having a mini fridge in the room, and the shower was really nice. Would stay here again, but will bring earplugs next time in case of noisy neighbors!

Good for someone else

It's a great hotel, just not for us. Single travelers or even couples would probably be happy, but we were there as a family. The shower has a glass door and is in the room not a separate bathroom, so that was something we had to work around. Also theres no good lighting. Makeup application was a mess because I couldnt tell if it was too light/dark etc.

Who designed the room?

The location is excellent, the staff helpful and the rooms clean. The room itself however was the worst designed hotel room we have ever had. 1. The sink in the sleeping area, not in a bathroom, meant washing shaving etc. was difficult with no space around for essential items. 2. The huge mirror was poor for shaving as it was at an angle. 3. There were no drawers only open shelves and a rail for hanging things which did not allow a full drop for my wife's dresses. 4. The television screen was gigantic and totally out of scale with the size of the room. 5. There were no bedside tables only a 'charging station' which was no use for anything, such as a glass of water, a book, etc. Quite the least user friendly we have ever experienced!
