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. "
