Really good room, convenient, parking at 19.95 eur per day. The price reflects it, there is no air con, which is ok for about 340 days per year. That said I would stay there again.

Nice hotel near train station

comfortable bed and nice enough room in a very convenient location directly across from the train station. Only complaint is the soap shelf in the shower had a used (with lots of hair wrapped around) hair tie still sitting on it.

The Tulip Inn is a very well appointed property with a range of facilities. The staff are welcoming and most amenable. The restaurant provides a fine range of cuisine. This property is conveniently placed for all the amenities of Leiden. It is situated directly opposite the bus and rail stations providing links to the local area as well as all other areas of the Netherlands and beyond. Thoroughly recommended.

We had a pleasant stay at the Golden Tulip. Leiden is beautiful. The hotel was quite pricey and a short 10 min walk from the main restaurant area. The hotel bar was pretty expensive we had two beers for €21 which is ridiculous!! The room was really spacious with lots of natural light and a huge bathroom. The room was really warm and no fans were provided. Luckily we brought our own as travelling with a car. Overall, a great stay but would probably find a cheaper alternative next time.

Spacious room with 4 twin beds. Bike shed with lock. Luggage room. Cons: shower has only half glass door/wall. I guess this is common in many European hotels. Water falls outside. No AC in room. Front desk was kind enough to lend us a table fan.
