    Rooms had no tea, coffee, water or biscuits. Disappointing for the price paid.

    Clean, well planned, quiet.

    I did not appreciate the difficulty of the parking of cars in the city of Leiden.

    All staff friendly, and helpful, and spoke English to a high standard willingly. Restaurant a real joy, re-quality of service , the menus, and pricing, thank you.

    It’s far from the center if you do not have a car. As someone who had meetings in Leiden center it was a bit of a hassle. But the room size and comfort made up for it.

    Room was spacious, the buffet breakfast area was nice, bike rental option was also great. The bus is very accessible, across the street from the hotel and takes you straight to Leiden Center.

    The gym was too small, and very limited equipment. The weather was good so I had the option of going for a run in the surrounding neighborhood (lots of cycling so I'm assuming its safe) but could not (time challenges)

    The patio is quite nice beside the canal, watching the boats while you have a meal is quite nice. The historic properties of the structure were integrated quite well into a modern twist. The food was very good, the bar was reasonable, the staff were very friendly and helpful (I forgot my travel adapter and they had a spare one they let me use).

    The hotel seemed to be short of staff and tried to reduce room cleaning. Would have been happy for towels to be left but room serviced but that option did not seem to be available.

    Room was good size. Bed very comfortable. Breakfast buffet had a good selection if a little pricey.

    Heating/AC had issues, the room was too warm and the only way to regulate the temperature read to open the window.

    Close to where we needed to be, and ready to reach by car. Friendly staff, neat and clean room.

    Bathroom was a bit dated, but fully functional! The restaurant staff was unexperienced, slow in service, they did not come to our table very often. We ate dinner in the restaurant twice and twice we had this service. The double bed had single sheets which my partner and I did not like.

    The restaurant was top-notch. Breakfast was amazing. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodating. Room was large, clean and comfortable!

    A little smile from 1st receptionist and a little more assistance. Small lift out of order for two days.

    All went extremely well. Receptionist on arrival not very helpful but next day young lady was superb advising us on bus travel and where to make for in city. Breakfast was excellent and dinner very good. Waiting staff very attentive and helpful. Riverside location above expectations. All in all a big Thank You.
