Top Old Observatory Hotel Reviews

Boutique Hotel d'Oude Morsch

10/10 Excellent

"The most charming hotel we have ever booked! Fabulous location on a pedestrian street & a canal, next to a windmill. Bridges on both sides. Fantastic breakfast with more food than we could eat. Walkable to lots of museums, shops, restaurants. We did not want to leave! 10 stars!"

Tulip Inn Leiden Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Requiring a full breakfast buffet was not to my liking -how about I can just get a cup of coffee and a danish or croissant? Inability to set the thermostat for your own room was kind of frustrating because it was a little warm."

ibis Leiden Centre

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, the wifi worked, the hotel is really near the train station and a short walk into the centre of town. The double glazing was good so I had no problem with noice. It's not luxurious but for somewhere to rest your head for a few days it's perfectly fine."

Hotel VIC

8/10 Good

"We had a good time at Hotel VIC! It was clean and the staff was very nice. Our only complaints are that checking in and out was difficult after booking through Expedia (we weren’t given the reservation numbers which were needed to check in / out on their automated system, and there wasn’t anyone staffing it when we needed to check out), and that the mirror / low lighting situation in the rooms make it difficult to apply makeup. Overall a good experience though!"

Fletcher Wellness - Hotel Leiden

8/10 Good

"Great for closeness to the train. Comfortable beds/pillows. No toiletries apart from bath gel in the bathroom . Close to restaurants bars . Was fine for two nights but that was enough."

City Hotel Rembrandt

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel in the centre of Leiden not far from railway station and restaurants."

Boutique Hotel Steenhof Suites - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Quiet hotel, well located. If you struggle with stairs, book a room on the ground floor as the stairs are very steep in the Dutch style."

Breathe Boutique hotel Leiden

8/10 Good

"Excellent staff comfortable room only negative bathroom shower needs a handrail"

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