Really steep staircase, no elevator. Pillows could have been better. Shower mat only upon request. 15h checking and 11am checkout seems to be the new norm but is a bit limiting.

Lovely charming little house, nicely decorated room with attention to detail. Great neighbourhood, walking distance to cafes, restaurants and ie Pieterskerk. Excellent wine choice in minibar.

There’s no reception desk or person to greet you and provide advice. Also, anyone with mobility problems would struggle to climb the tiny circular staircase. Street facing room can be noisy (pub on street corner). Garden room was quiet.

Fantastic location, walk from train station, in historic part of Leiden. Lovely, well-appointed room, all the conveniences. Enjoyed the breakfast in the pretty breakfast room.

Our room was on the top floor and there were 3 flights so stairs to get to it. We had a baby and therefore a lot of luggage and would have been nice to know ahead of time we would have a room with so many stairs.

The location of the hotel is awesome.

nothing, all was perfect

I stayed in a cozy room with a fridge and coffee machine. It is a spotless and lovely bathroom with a great shower. Small breakfast area where they cook for you your preferred breakfast. The hotel is in the middle of the historical city center, a beautiful location.

2nd floor suite access requires climbing very narrow small staircase.

Location!!! Room decor and fireplace. Really a lovely small hotel.

Stayed in April 2024

The stairs were super steep, so for the less sure footed, you may want to request a room on the lower floors. Only other small thing was no power point in the bedroom alcove area.

Beautiful building, great location. The room (5) was up in the attic area, with spacious living room area with coffee machine, kettle, small fridge, sofa, tv etc. The shower room was beautifully decorated with a great rain shower. The double bed was in an alcove, perfect for one, but access only from one side. It was so comfortable, great linen. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order.

Note - there are no staff / no reception on the premises

Lovely characterful hotel (converted old town house) in great location

There’s no reception desk/no one to ask for advice about Leiden. We were on the top floor- the tiny circular staircase would not suit all travellers -best to enquire about this at time of booking. Streetside room can be noisy at night, but garden view are quiet.

I’m adding this to an earlier review. We were bery pleased indeed.

Stayed in April 2024

Our room (“garden view”) was very quiet but the second room we booked (street side) was somewhat noisy at night, with late night revellers and garbage disposal. The host was professional and served a good breakfast but was not available at other times to greet us, recommend restaurants, etc. It felt very impersonal.

Super location, historic street 15-20 min walk from the train station. Close to cafes, restaurants, historic sites. Pretty, well appointed room with comfy bed and great shower.

Very good location, very nice host.

€200 is expensive for a provincial town.

Beautiful hotel on one of the nicest spots of the town. Very tastefully made interior, and excellent attention to detail - there were several wines to choose from in the room, there were comfy chairs in front of a gas fireplace.

I was told in advance so this was not a surprise but the narrow staircase could be an issue for heavier luggage and more frequent use (i left in the morning and returned in the evening so not an issue for me)

Location is super! Very clean and comfortable. The staff was very helpful online to solve specific checkin requirements

The staircase was super steep, but I was helped with my luggage. This could be difficult for some people to manage if they are not having a certain level of fitness.

The location close to Rapenburg and Pieterskerk is amazing and in the heart of the city. The room was perfect and done very nicely with small details for comfort, like having a Nespresso machine in the room.

I wish they had told us about the stair case. Or I would have ask for a ground floor.

I was overall very happy with my stay. Only one minor thing: I noticed that my breakfast cost a few euros more than what was the price printed in the menu, don't know if it was a mistake or something else.

A pleasant little hotel in an excellent location. The room was tidy and quiet. One needs to climb steep stairs to get to the room, but I was aware of this in advance, so it did not come as a surprize. I appreciated the chance to stay in an old Dutch house. The breakfast room was very nice. The service was prompt and friendly.

Be prepared for very steep stairs and that there is no lift.

This hotel is super charming. Perfect location. Very pleasant host.

I would have liked the toiletries to be topped up. I was able to request some more, though, so that was all good. I was on the top floor in room 8, up two flights of very narrow winding stairs, which were fine for me - all part of the lovely historic character! - but might be a challenge for the infirm or those with big suitcases.

Lovely hotel, in an old townhouse in central Leiden but not too central (away from the party boats!), on a fairly quiet side street. Nicely decorated and the most comfortable bed I've slept in in a long time! Self check-in and in-person check-out were both easy.

The staircase is a bit steep and not friendly for visitors with large suitcases, otherwise everything is good

The room was an attic which was very difficult to climb. Stairs were too steep to carry bags upstairs.

The location was great.

Very steep stairs two flights up

Great location. We could walk everywhere.

Stayed in July 2023

The staircase was very steep and twisted and the steps were not wide enough to put your feet on. Of course the house was old, but a more precise indication should have been given to warn clients. There was no clear indication on the website that there was no reception desk and access was by door code given before travel.

Comfortable and well-appointed room. Excellent position in the old part of the city. Breakfast was available but I did not take it.

We chose an inner courtyard view thinking it would be quieter with less street noise, but found that a neighboring bar was hosting a King's Day party on their adjacent courtyard. Ex Libris informed us that the bar had promised the very loud "music" would end at 10 PM, and somewhat miraculously, it did. Based on other reviews, we expected the staircase to our first floor room to be narrow and steep, and it was; but carefully lifting suitcases up a couple steps at a time worked OK.

Excellent location for exploring Leiden. Very clean and comfortable room. Appreciated small refrigerator for wines, and coffee-making facilities. The availability of breakfast at the hotel is a "plus", very handy on days with a busy travel agenda.

The stairs may be an issue for some guests and the sound travelled a lot between the rooms/hallways

Great location, spacious room with nice touches!

Stairs are steep, but they helped carry the bags

Fantastic location in the old part of town. Close to the Hortus Botanicus.
