A very central location, right next to the main train station and just a few minutes walking from the old town center, and thus close to shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, etc.
Check in went smooth, instructions for car parking were clear and I had the most amazing room, right on the top floor with a good view on all the train traffic.
The room was clean (even though I arrived right after Leiden's celebration day, 3 October), everything worked as intended and I had a good stay.

Great location - less than five minute walk from the train station, and about a five minute walk to the old town of Leiden. I had a small single, which was clean and perfect for my needs. My room faced the old town so I had a nice view of the windmills and church towers.
