Top Old Observatory Hotel Reviews

Hotel VIC

10/10 Excellent

"Great and cute space perfect for a one night stay. I loved the vibe of the place. Check-in was super easy. We had no issues."

Boutique Hotel Steenhof Suites - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"This lovely hotel is conveniently located in town with restaurants and bars just a stone’s throw away. The decor is beautiful and the staff incredibly helpful. However, the bar closes quite early so we missed out on a pre-drink or nightcap. Our neighbour above us also woke us a few times due to the noise from their footsteps. Perhaps some rugs would help with that. Hubby and I also hurt our toes because of the door stopper in the middle of the night. Despite these minor inconveniences, we had a lovely stay and would definitely return. Thank you all"

Breathe Boutique hotel Leiden

10/10 Excellent

"What a fantastic hotel. We really enjoyed our stay. From the friendly staff and the quality of the room. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend! 10/10"

LOT Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and friendly"

Boutique Hotel d'Oude Morsch

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, staff was friendly. Only downside is there is no elevator, and no fridge or microwave to keep food was desired temperature. Location is ideal."

Hilton Garden Inn Leiden

8/10 Good

"Bathroom was tiny, could barely stand in the shower and flooded floor as shower door kept opening as only partial door and swings open if you touch it. Room was clean, hotel generally clean (one incident with someone staying there and their dogs making messes on elevator), used the gym a lot, was small but worked for me. Restaurant was pricey, and the bartenders couldn't make any drink not on their menu (very strange) but the wait staff in general seemed new. Property was clean and convenient to public transportation."

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."

Bastion Hotel Leiden Voorschoten

8/10 Good

"The hotel is good but rooms has no air conditioning."

Ex Libris boutique hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful and comfortable stay. Hotel was in an ideal location. Highly recommend."
