The information on the hotel is very misleading. The main picture on the site shows the beautiful "hotel" sitting the lake with a lovely patio for meals. Actually the hotel is next door to this building and whilst it was not terrible or anything, we thought we were getting to stay in the main building. To be honest I would not have paid the rate asked if I had known this at time.

The place is a peaceful oasis in the middle of a strongly urbanized area. As such, there's very little noise to disturb your sleep at night. You won't be staying in the actual castle, but rather in another building on the premises. The place is rather modern, and most facilities seem to work quite well. It's also kept clean, definitely. There are quite a few facilities on site, like a bar and restaurant, end even parking is included.

The bed was very comfortable and the property was beautiful for walking. The breakfast was a bit minimal and did not have a toaster. The second day we came on the later side for breakfast and most things were empty (juices,hot breakfast items) which should have been available.

Absolutely worth it. Went in mid spring, and the grounds are gorgeous, lovely to explore or take a stroll in. The area was lovely too - cute little shops, restaurants, and charming old houses on cobblestoned streets. Very peaceful, safe, and quiet. 15 minute walk to the nearest bus station to head into Leiden Centraal (nearest major train station), so transport is still coinvent.

We stayed Thursday and Friday nights. The Thursday was really weird; empty, staff hard to find etc. The room itself is definitely 3* and no more, but the beds/linen etc are clean and good quality. It’s more of a high end conference centre than a hotel. The first breakfast was equally odd, no one from the hotel spoke to us at all! We ate in Lieden both nights, which with a hired bike was great. Second breakfast was a totally different experience and what I’d expect from a hotel. The grounds of the castle (which isn’t the accommodation or dining room etc) were excellent. Well kept and tidy. Overall, weekend service was great. Mid week less so.

Disappointing stay was

W were glad that we only booked one night. Firstly we mistakenly thought the hotel was within the Kasteel as shown in the publicity photo. We were surprised to find that the hotel was a separate building, maybe we had not read the details carefully rather than having been mislead. The hotel in general was very nice and the staff friendly and efficient. However I had booked one of the more expensive rooms because my wife as pensioners do not get many outings and we particularly wanted a comfortable room that had extra amenities such as a refrigerator, coffee machine etc. We chose the hotel because it was described as dog friendly and we have very small Maltese dog, so when we checked in we were disappointed to be told that we could only have a standard room because we had the dog with us. Considering there was a 25 euro charge and we were denied the room of our choice, we were left wondering what the charge was for! We found the standard room very disappointing, and as an ex Airline pilot have seen more than a few, and this was amongst the most uninspiring. It was dark, dull, no curtains, only a roller blind and in almost all respects very uninspiring. On the good side, it had a nice tv and internet worked well and the bathroom was clean with a very powerful shower. From the website photos the superior room look very nice and might have been more acceptable,but despite beautiful grounds around the hotel and very nice common rooms we would not consider revisiting.

This is a bait and switch. The bait is the beautiful castle in the main picture but the rooms are actually located in a separate motel looking building. It is implied that the accommodation is in the castln, we were very disappointed that the castle is only for tricking us to go there. Dishonest! Gave three stars (that is very generous) because the grounds look nice (there is a beautiful castle 600ft / 200 meters away) and the breakfast was good.

Absolutely stunning scenery in the countryside to go with quiet, quaint hotel rooms. The escape from loud, busy city life was wonderful and the staff there was welcoming and accommodating. The breakfast buffet had a little bit of everything as well. Wish we had stayed longer and will definitely be back!
