Among the many positives;
Kind staff (cleaning team!! and front desk). Even the renovation workers were also considerate.
Very quiet and relaxing in the evening. The suite room was very comfortable. The bath was also such a lovely addition, great for my kid to enjoy.
There were lobby seating areas that looked very pleasant to enjoy a chat.
Very minor downsides: The baggage carts were challenging to steer. The lifts were quite small, so a baggage cart and a person is difficult to fit into the lift together. TV /channels were a little challenging to sort out. Ketnet and youtube didn't seem to work, which would have been better entertainment options for the moments the young ones need it.
Everything worked out well, and we very much enjoyed our stay!
Good staff, good surrounding. Great location—just steps from the Leiden Central station. However, the bathroom was extremely unclean—to the point that one should never give this hotel a four star rating. Expedia should take these things into consideration when rating a hotel. The toilet bowl had terrible stain! I don’t want to give a description of it. Wish I had a better room with clean toilet. That said, since I might go to Leiden soon, I’ll probably end up staying here again simply because of the location.

Not a great hotel given the cost.
Quite an expensive hotel which is located in a great location (close to train station) in Leiden. For a hotel that seems to charge a higher end price, there is no bottled water in the room and the coffee is chargeable in the mornings (odd for a Dutch hotel). Also, the mini fridge in the room had the previous customers opened tinned tray of sardines, which was an unpleasant find. In short, there are many better hotels in Leiden.
Hotel is exceptionally placed for visiting Leiden - walking distance to many places of interest. Hotel staff are helpful and friendly. Room was very comfortable.
Good location. Bike storage. Efficient staff. Comfortable rooms. Good breakfast. Reasonable prices. Great value for money.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Friendly, efficient staff.
The room felt a bit dated for the price, no USB ports or English TV channels available.
Soft mattress, I like to have a window open at night but the crisp outside was noisy in room 208.
Hotel is in a super handy location close the the train and central
Bus station and just a few minute walk to the central part of Leiden
