"Due to construction on the surrounding roads the hotel was not accessible by road. Even google maps could not provide an alternative route. We did finally get there but had to drive on a sidewalk/ bike path. The hotel should have contacted guests with some alternative. "

Cool and vibrant hotel next to Leiden Centraal

"We stayed at the Hotel Vic whilst touring The Netherlands. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable and the hotel as a whole was fantastic - smart and well located. We loved the vibrant decor, which made for a fun and vibrant stay. Leiden Centraal Station is just over the road and the city centre is only a few minutes away, but our room was lovely and quiet. There is a branch of Bagels and Beans just a few hundred metres away, which became our daily breakfast spot and which we would recommend also. "
