Okay, but lack of coffe for 2. Dag

Good location and clean, middle service
Sadollah, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Right on the canal up from the old city but close to train station, too, the hotel is perfectly located. Great vibe to the lobby and pub on site. Nice rooms. And great pubs and restaurants right outside the door.
Martha, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is a little tired but still good value. Located on the water I. The centre of Leiden.
Curtis, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel was very quaint and the staff was very helpful. It was located right along the canal with easy access to restaurants and the Saturday market.
Eileen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely Leiden

Nice,traditional period hotel, overlooking a canal. 5 adjacent buildings joined together with antique furniture here and there. Friendly, helpful reception, nice breakfast. Super location for wandering around the very attractive university town of Leiden. Only downside is that cars have to be parked 800 metres away in Haagweg public car park. ( expect to pay about €23 overnight).
Linda, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The place is right in the center of Leiden, which is awesome. My room was on the opposite side of a busy street, so I couldn’t really hear any noise from outside. There’s no elevator though, so if you’re unlucky, you’ll be hauling your bags up two flights of stairs. The room numbers are kind of all over the place, so it took a bit to figure out where mine was. The room and the building are definitely on the older side—could be a plus if you’re into that kind of vibe. One thing that bugged me was how strict they were about check-in. I thought the check-in time was already kind of late, but I wasn’t even allowed to pay or do anything when I got there early. Everything had to be done strictly during their set check-in hours, which felt weird since most places I’ve stayed at are way more chill about that.

Good hotel

Great location by the canal and lots of restaurants. Very friendly staff. Reasonable room, comfy bed.
David, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hôtel avec un charme typique "canal house" dans la vieille ville de Leyde. Ne cherchez pas d'ascenseur et attention aux escaliers assez raides. Deco à l'ancienne, très agréable et typique. Personnel sympathique et serviable.
Helene, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Gezellig hotel middenin het centrum van Leiden. Dat maakt meteen dat het niet zo stil is ‘s nachts. Enkele ramen bv. Het is een oud historisch pand, dus ook wel begrijpelijk. Dat bepaalt ook de sfeer. Aardig en behulpzaam personeel. Al met al een fijn verblijf!
Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is central to many shops and restaurants. My room had a nice view of the canal. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful. Check in and check out were easy. Breakfast option offered.
Nathan, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

No elevator, no heat or AC, low water pressure for shower, small room. Bad smell on upper floor. We do not plan to return.

Tip: een goede leeslamp, die misten we. Een krakende stoel is ook niet aangenaam. Verder alles oké .
theo, 6-night trip

Leuk, gezellig hotel met retro uitstraling. Ook het bed, het kraakte behoorlijk. Maar toch een aanrader, vooral vanwege de ligging middenin de stad.

Fijn verblijf, inchecken kon op elk tijdstip, lekker ontbijt en dat in een mooi historisch pand midden in Leiden

Ich war mit allem völlig zufrieden und würde bei einem weiteren Besuch in Leiden zurück zu Nieuw Minerva gehen. Sie haben in mir einen sehr zufriedenen Kunden. Herzlichen Dank!
Evan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Good central location for eating, bars and shops. Unfortunately room wasn't cleaned on one of the days. Mentioned this to staff early evening around 6pm and later when returned to hotel at 10pm when it still had not been cleaned. Staff only said they didn't know why not. Used cups left in the room for 3 days and no clean ones left when they were all used. Specifically had to ask to get them changed.
Shirley, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful downstairs reception and bar; great to have storage for our bikes. Super breakfast and breakfast room. Lovely to have interesting ornaments and antiques in display. A minor criticism was the lack of umbrellas to borrow as it was raining hard when we arrived.

Terrible beds, no air

The hotel is friendly, but the bar is full of drunks. The room has no air circulation, and I could feel the bed springs. Good water temp.
Kathryn, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Niet doen zeer teleurstellend

Hotel is oud! Ongemakkelijk. Geen lift. En heel duur voor wat je krijgt. Enige positieve is de locatie. Personeel rondweg onbeschoft. Als je je dag niet hebt blijf dan thuis. Maar de manier van praten vanuit het personeel was betuttelend. Kamer was bloedheet grenzend aan een lawaaiige steeg. Geen airco. Maw erg teleurstellend. Tijd voor een volledige renovatie van het hotel en nieuw personeel.

Midden in de stad

Super lokatie midden in de stad, voor de deur en niet ver lopen parkeerplekken (betalen vai parkeerapp). Ontvangst hartelijk, hotel fatsoenlijk. Verwacht gewoon basic, netjes.
