Top Old Observatory Hotel Reviews

Hotel VIC

8/10 Good

"Location near the train station was very convenient. Less than 5 minutes walk and lots of places to eat in the area. The hotel and surrounded area is very clean and quiet. The automatic check in process is not for everyone, but the staff will assist with this. Keep your booking number at hand because you will need it for the check-in and check-out process. I will stay here again!"

Op 5 Minuten Lopen van het Mooiste wat Leiden te Bieden Heeft

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely apartment in a great location just outside historic center. Hans was most accommodating. He allowed us to drop off our luggage for our early arrival and had already carried it upstairs when we returned for official check in. I do warn seniors or mobility impaired that the stair are very narrow, but Hans again came and helped us get our bags back down the stairs. Thank you for a very nice accommodation."

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

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment exceeded our expectations. It was roomy, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our 3 sisters getaway The beds were very comfortable and the apartment so quiet. The location was ideal. Convenient and walkable to public transportation, shops, restaurants and sites. We are so glad we chose this apartment and Leiden to be our home base. Communication with the hosts were excellent and we highly recommend."

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."

Boutique Hotel Steenhof Suites - Adults Only

"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."
