Stayed as part of a Tulip Cycling Tour. The hotel is 3 old building combined into one building. An interesting melding of three buildings not designed to be a hotel. Sometimes it works sometimes not. Free wifi only in the lobby. Good hotel for value.

Stayed here for 2 nights, the location is perfect right in the centre of Leiden overlooking one of the many canals. The room was very basic but comftable right on the top floor and with a great view of the canal, there was no problem with noise at night and it was one of the few rooms that you could... More

My stayed here in April 2012 while attending Keukenhof. The hotel is located on a canal, and within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. (Try dinner at Calf and Cow - delicious!) Our room and bathrooms were a nice size for a european hotel. However, our room was located above the alley way and we were kept awake until... More

Amazing service, had a night in the bride-suite instead of the normal room we had a reservation for. Everything was amazing, only note is that the hotel might look a bit outdated and it's near a noisy location in the centre of Leiden (which is a great city!)

This hotel is well-located and not so expensive. Staffs were kind to us though we couldn't speak Dutch and English well. The room was simple and clean and I loved it very much. Usually quiet and relaxing, but one night I heard some youth making merry loudly outside the hotel. It was good to learn some Dutch for me -... More

The room smelled stongly of smoke and I found it hard to go to sleep due to fact that the sheets aslo smelled very stongly of smoke. The sheets had been changed, perhaps the matress needed airing? My sister was in room across the corridor and she said her room smelled to smoke aslo.

Stayed here for 2 nights. It's in a really good location right near the canal and about 5-10 minutes walk from the main town. The rooms are nice but all different so have a look at the rooms first before deciding which one to have as they do vary in quality.

There are quite some miixed reviews about this hotel on Tripadvisor. It is not a Hilton hotel. It does not charge Hilton prices. So you get what you pay for and on that base, it is value for money. We spent 3 nights in this hotel and we had a decent room in a corner upstairs and it was quiet,... More

I needed somewhere to stay in Leiden and my Garmin pointed me in the direction of Nieuw Minerva. It was just what I needed after a long drive from UK. Lovely old building, pleasant staff and a room with a view of the canal - if it had been light! The bed was confortable, but the room could have done... More

I had to stay here since other hotels were fully booked. The location is fine, next to a canal which is nice, and five minutes from main attractions, ten to train station. The hotel lobby is very dated, as is the decor in the hallways and in the room I had. Breakfast room is fairly shabby - they have tried... More
