"Firstly this isn’t a hotel. It’s a self-service apartment. No breakfast! We didn’t meet a member of staff during our 3 day stay. The room was stunning, super view out onto the canal, plenty of space across two floors (duplex). I’m nearly 70, live in a bungalow and suffer mild back problems occasionally. So here’s the downside, the apartment was on the top floors with over 50 steps up a narrow spiral staircase. Not for the feint-hearted. It wouldn’t put us off returning but you need to be aware. The other issue for back-sufferers, is the lack of a comfy chair with back support. The small round sofa looks twee but for me was unusable due to lack of support. The two high bar stools were not much better. On the Wednesday there was a fantastic market along the canal. At night there’s a level of student exuberance going on until around midnight but nothing that should stop you sleeping. The local bars and restaurants are wonderful. We came for the nearby tulip festival and Leiden was very convenient for transport. The bed was very comfortable and the aircon very welcome as it was quite warm when we stayed. The small kitchenette was fine although we didn’t eat in. A good stock of tea bags and coffee pods was free and can be topped up in the entrance to the apartments. Overall, the location was superb, likewise the canal view. The room was a fair price for the size, condition and location. We had a great time, albeit with scary stairs. "

"Did not do the breakfast it was way too expensive. The hotel should include breakfast for the price that they charge. Other Hilton locations do that. "

"Awesome restoration and experience !! "

"This is a semi-automated hotel; staff is generally not in the building. The automation is iffy--the check-out kiosk in the lobby couldn't find our reservation by last name or by reservation number. We finally had to call to check out. On the plus side, the rooms were very clean. On the minus side, there is a large and poorly placed pillar next to the bed, which makes getting in and out of bed a chancier proposition than it should be. The location is excellent--maybe 150 meters from the central train station. Important note: This isn't the hotel's responsibility, but Google Maps will navigate you (even for walking directions) to the parking lot in the *back* of the hotel rather than to the far more convenient *front* of the hotel.
