Need more lighting

Customers should be aware of the fact that the hotel has two sections with slightly different names. This is to differentiate what they call 3 star versus 4 star accommodations. The key differentiator is that the 3 star section has no AC and old fashioned high bathtubs which can be quite dangerous for older people with less mobility to use. Their rooms are slightly larger than the 4 star rooms, however. Since my wife has significant mobility issues they were gracious enough to upgrade us to a 4 star room in the new section. With its walk in shower it met our needs perfectly. The only two things that we were not fond of were the two twin beds pushed together (which kept separating during the night) and the very limited lighting in the room. Other than that the room was clean, neat and perfectly located to the train station so no need for a taxi. The walk into the old section of town was also quite short. The staff was always friendly and accommodating. One of the highlights of the hotel was its restaurant which served very good food - not the ordinary mediocre food typical of most American hotels.

Nice stay in Leiden

The hotel was convinently located close to the train station and many eating options. We walked about 10 minutes from the hotel and found a lot of lovely local eateries. We did not eat at the hotel. Our walls seemed fairly thin as our neighbors were speaking in a normal tone but we heard them. The room was spacious, There was a comfortable couch.

We enjoyed our stay in the town of Zeist. Quiet and very close to nature. The rental bikes were well maintained and it took us 35 minutes (one way) to cycle to Utrecht. The hotel has a really nice cafe that is open late. The front desk were pleasant and they let us check in early! The room was clean and the bathroom had a nice sized tub. My only complaint is that the hotel smelled “old” if you know what I mean. It took getting used to.

Not good

This hotel was quite expensive for the awful condition that it is in. The rooms were old and shabby and the bathroom stank of sewage. I asked to have my room changed because the TV did not work. The second room was just as bad. But stank even worse.

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay here. The location suited us perfectly as it was close to the train station as well as being really close to the old centre. Breakfast each morning was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were modern and clean. We didn't think there were enough lights (rooms a bit dark), but that was a minor. We would definitely stay there again.

parkrun stay

Very efficient and friendly staff. Only downsides were the foam mattress, felt like I’d made my shape in it and it stayed that shape until I got up. Room at front of hotel, very busy road outside, quite noisy at night. Only one breakfast tea bag on tray, but two others we didn’t like. Instructions for coffee machine would be helpful, I wasn’t successful with my first cup, water leaked everywhere, used bath towel to wipe water up. Second cup okay. Friends asked how to work coffee machine, so advised them what to do and what not to do! Lovely area, shame only a one night stay. Near to train station and easy to get to from airport.
