This is a lovely hotel in a great location. The owner is friendly, helpful and responsive. The espresso machine was a welcome feature. The shower is great and the under floor heating in the bathroom was also impressive.

Even by Dutch standards, the stairs to our room were very steep and hard to access with luggage. The bed set up isn't ideal either as there is no space around it, so if there are two of you it's not great for getting in and out (especially from the far side). Looking at the pictures I think this issue is probably only in this particular second floor room, however.

The property and atmosphere is very charming and cozy and the location is super convenient in the heart of Leiden historical district. The room was vary nice and comfortable, quiet at night, with a nice desk that was very useful for my work trip. Its size exceeded my expectations. The bed was also very comfortable.

Being the building historical, the staircase was very steep and narrow. It was not a problem for me but it is not easy to climb it if you have a large suitcase.

Beautiful building, great location. The room (5) was up in the attic area, with spacious living room area with coffee machine, kettle, small fridge, sofa, tv etc. The shower room was beautifully decorated with a great rain shower. The double bed was in an alcove, perfect for one, but access only from one side. It was so comfortable, great linen. Breakfast was delicious and cooked to order.

The stairs were super steep, so for the less sure footed, you may want to request a room on the lower floors. Only other small thing was no power point in the bedroom alcove area.

Lovely hotel, in an old townhouse in central Leiden but not too central (away from the party boats!), on a fairly quiet side street. Nicely decorated and the most comfortable bed I've slept in in a long time! Self check-in and in-person check-out were both easy.

I would have liked the toiletries to be topped up. I was able to request some more, though, so that was all good. I was on the top floor in room 8, up two flights of very narrow winding stairs, which were fine for me - all part of the lovely historic character! - but might be a challenge for the infirm or those with big suitcases.

A pleasant little hotel in an excellent location. The room was tidy and quiet. One needs to climb steep stairs to get to the room, but I was aware of this in advance, so it did not come as a surprize. I appreciated the chance to stay in an old Dutch house. The breakfast room was very nice. The service was prompt and friendly.

I was overall very happy with my stay. Only one minor thing: I noticed that my breakfast cost a few euros more than what was the price printed in the menu, don't know if it was a mistake or something else.

Super location, historic street 15-20 min walk from the train station. Close to cafes, restaurants, historic sites. Pretty, well appointed room with comfy bed and great shower.

Our room (“garden view”) was very quiet but the second room we booked (street side) was somewhat noisy at night, with late night revellers and garbage disposal. The host was professional and served a good breakfast but was not available at other times to greet us, recommend restaurants, etc. It felt very impersonal.

Room was big and spacious with a good sized bathroom and a Nespresso coffee machine. Located in a lovely part of town by Pieterskerk - pretty cobbled streets nearby and lots of nice cafes and bars too. Stairs are quite steep to the room but you get used to them, and there aren't many. Staff were helpful about us leaving luggage before/after check in. Easy check in and a nice stay.

Excellent location for exploring Leiden. Very clean and comfortable room. Appreciated small refrigerator for wines, and coffee-making facilities. The availability of breakfast at the hotel is a "plus", very handy on days with a busy travel agenda.

We chose an inner courtyard view thinking it would be quieter with less street noise, but found that a neighboring bar was hosting a King's Day party on their adjacent courtyard. Ex Libris informed us that the bar had promised the very loud "music" would end at 10 PM, and somewhat miraculously, it did. Based on other reviews, we expected the staircase to our first floor room to be narrow and steep, and it was; but carefully lifting suitcases up a couple steps at a time worked OK.

The location was excellent as our daughter is living near by. Very central in Leiden to the museums, train station, restaurants and shopping. The room was very comfortable and with an electric fire in the room it made it very cosy in the evenings. I would book this hotel again for my next stay in Leiden.

We were aware of the narrow stairs but if one was unsure of their footing it could cause difficulty for them, also carrying cases up and down could cause difficulty.

Fantastic location, walk from train station, in historic part of Leiden. Lovely, well-appointed room, all the conveniences. Enjoyed the breakfast in the pretty breakfast room.

There’s no reception desk or person to greet you and provide advice. Also, anyone with mobility problems would struggle to climb the tiny circular staircase. Street facing room can be noisy (pub on street corner). Garden room was quiet.
