Room was nice with a living area/kitchen on one level and a bed up in the loft area. Only downside was the steep narrow staircases to get to our room which some people, especially with large suitcases, might struggle with. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

There is no bar or restaurant onsite but you are right next to a number of great bars, restaurants and cafes. The web based keys worked and were simple to use.

Great stay in the center of Leiden! Short walk to Central Station. Room 4 was larger than expected and had everything including dishes/cutlery, coffee, toiletries etc. Virtual check-in was quick and easy, and QR code in the room provided lots of useful information for the area. Overall fantastic stay and would highly recommend CTY Books!

Brilliant location in the beautiful city centre. Rooms were stunning, photos don’t do it justice. Lights and heating were a bit tricky to operate. Kitchen contains basic crockery and a few pans, not much more. Staff at sister hotel very friendly and helpful.

Leiden city trip
Amazing authentic place to stay. Beautiful view over the canals and well equipped. Full electronic check in worked well but as you have no back up phone numbers was a bit of a worry. Three steep stairs to climb to our apartment is not for the faint hearted but then the experience is special.

I love the ease of entering the room digitally, it’s easy and no hassle. If anything it’s not very personal, which i don’t even mind. Staff (room service) was very friendly, no issues. It is a weird feeling not seeing any staff around. Not a big issue but some spots clearly weren’t vacuumed. But i only noticed when checking under the bed for any of my items.
