The hotel is in a nice walkable area of the city, close to the shops and market. What I didn't like about the hotel was the breakfast available in the restaurant, it was too expensive for what it offers. Next time I'll eat out.

viezig bed

Algehele staat van het hotel is matig/slecht met veel geluidsoverlast en lampjes die er wel staan maar waarvoor geen stopcontact is. Het meest vies was echter het het bed wat schoon leek maar erg onfris rook.

Sämsta jag bott på

Hela hotellet stank starkt av mögel, överallt. I trapphus, korridorer, hiss och rum. Fuktfläckar i taket. Toaletten luktade urin trots att det var städat. Vi stannade en timme och därefter bytte vi hotell. Gick inte att stå ut med stanken. Allt kändes kallt och fuktigt. Det här stället förtjänar inte 3 stjärnor, snarare ingen stjärna alls. Mögel är en hälsofara.

Everything you need from a hotel

Very well located hotel in the centre of Leiden. Hotel was quiet despite the central location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a good size, clean and comfortable. It felt a little dated but that doesn't really matter unless you plan to spend a lot of time in the hotel. If you're looking for a convenient, well placed hotel for your trip to Leiden, I would definitely recommend the Best Western City Hotel.

Séjour correct. Pas d’air climatisé, il fallait ouvrir les fenêtres et il y a un bar avec terrasse au coun de la rue, c’est bruyant, il a fallu fermer des fenêtres, ce qui augmentait la chaleur dans la chambre.

Great people, good hotel

The staff here were very helpful, from ensuring I was checked into a room when I arrived early, to taking care of a package I wanted to leave for a friend who I couldn't quite arrange to catch up with. The hotel is quite old, though, so the condition was not so great, but the bed was comfortable and the stay was nice enough. The location is excellent, between the train station and city centre.

The staff was so accommodating, pleasant and we appreciated the extra service they provided us. Our train was delayed and we had to arrive past 11pm. The hotel front desk person waited for us to arrive and sign us in. The hotel was clean and functional and convenient. We would stay there again if ever in Leiden.

Die Lage ist super, direkt in der Innenstadt und nah zum Bahnhof. Das Zimmer war etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Leider war es schwer zu lüften, sodass es sehr warm war (Klimaanlage ging nicht) und der Geruch im Bad und im Hotel war unangenehm. Es hätte sauberer sein können. Die Große Fensterfront im Zimmer war sehr schön (schade, dass nur ein kleines Fenster geöffnet werden konnte) und es gab auch 2 Stühle und Tische. Leider fehlte ein Föhn.

OK hotel in Leiden but nothing special

Our stay was very nice. The hotel is basic, no frills. Clean, and staff were friendly and helpful. Sadly, the chain was very inflexible with regards to refunds during Covid.
