Top Old Observatory Hotel Reviews

Tulip Inn Leiden Centre

8/10 Good

"It is a great location very close to Leiden Central Station. The common areas are a good place to relax and overall the hotel is higher end business hotel. We stayed for leisure and it was also good for our stay. The restaurant and bar area was expansive and fancy looking but we did not have time to enjoy those amenities. There was no air conditioning control in the room. I think the vent in the room was part of hotel main system but we just opened the window for ventilation."

City Hotel Rembrandt

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, well -run, loved the quirky decor. Although it"s on a busy little street with bars and "coffee shops" and there can be noise at night, it"s very secure (four automatically locking doors between our studio and the street). Central and close to the station. You can easily do day trips all over the Randstad. The staff are very nice. Don't worry about arriving when reception is shut, the digital keys work."

Boutique Hotel Steenhof Suites - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are located right at the walking center of Leiden in a lovely restored building on one of the loveliest canals. The rooms are well appointed with comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms. Turn left out the door to the public market and the main shopping streets. Turn right to the lovely Pieterskerk (c 1221), many nice restaurants on the Cloksteg and the old academic buildings of the venerable Leiden University and it’s famous gardens."

Breathe Boutique hotel Leiden

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. We had the beautiful loft room overlooking the canal.it was even better than the photos. The room was spotlessly clean. Every morning we enjoyed the complimentary coffee. The staff was wonderful and we loved the quiet walks along the canals to get to the center of town (about 15 mins). We would definitely stay again."

The old warehouse: a completely renovated apartment in the center of Leiden

10/10 Excellent

"Pros:•Extremely close to Pelikkan bus stop (1-min walk), which is a 5-min bus ride from Leiden Centraal train station. Apartment is in a quiet part of the city center & a very short walk to restaurants (Bikini Bikini & Fat Pelican), grocery store, & liquor store. And easy walking proximity to most anything else in Leiden city center.•The apartment was truly spotlessly clean. Very neat & tidy.•Well-appointed kitchen with all amenities as stated in the listing. Host provided starter amounts of coffee, tea, & paper towels. Plenty of dishwasher detergent pods for use during our 6-night stay. Plenty of dishes, utensils, & cookware for our needs during our stay.•Bathroom & toilet room were spotlessly clean. Plenty of shower wash, shampoo, toilet paper, & washing machine pods. There is a large bathtub & a separate, fully-enclosed shower. Ample supply of clean towels available for us.•Both bedrooms have very large wardrobes with ample shelving & hanging closet rod space. Also had extra blanket in each bedroom. We found the king-sized bed to be very comfortable.•As per the listing, there are smoke detectors & first aid kit.•We had no issues with Wi-Fi speed while streaming or using multiple devices simultaneously.•Host communication was excellent. Sabine was very quick to reply to any questions & provided helpful information about the area. We appreciated the personal check-in on arrival as well.Cons:•We have no cons.Would we stay here again? Absolutely yes."
