There was considerable noise from the street, but ear plugs are provided and they did the trick. The location, room, and the city of Leiden are all wonderful.

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.

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.

Es hat uns hier echt gut gefallen, super Lage, man ist mittendrin, Zimmer ist sauber und sehr großzügig. Das Hotel geht mit der Zeit, es ist eigentlich alles digital und wir hatten keine Sekunde persönlichen Kontakt mit Personal aus dem Hotel. Zimmer Nr. 2 würde ich dennoch keinem empfehlen. Die Fenster kann man nicht aufmachen, da man direkt über der Abluft einer Küche ist und der Abzug direkt ins Zimmer geleitet wird. Das Fenster geht direkt zum Innenhof raus und somit geht auch kein Luftzug, dass die Abluft der Küche verweht wird. Also wollten wir mit der Klima aushelfen, die gluckert aber so als ob jemand im Zimmer steht und duscht. Dann natürlich der Klassiker, das Wasser läuft im Bad-Waschbecken nicht ab (verstopft). Grundsätzlich hat man ein dauerhaftes piepsen, woher auch immer im Zimmer. Jetzt wär ich im Flow und könnte mich über viele weitere Kleinigkeiten aufregen, das ist aber auch nicht fair. Eigentlich schade, da es an sich echt schön ist und die Lage super. Ich bin eigentlich keiner der eine Rezession schreibt und hätte lieber persönlich mit einem gesprochen, ist hier aber nicht möglich. Das ist der Nachteil am modernen, kontaktlosen Trend. Für die ganzen nachteiligen Punkte ist es einfach zu teuer!!! Ich hoffe ihr bekommt das Problem in Griff, ich bin nicht der erste, der dem Zimmer Nr. 2 eine schlechte Rezession verpasst!

Super leuke kamers, mooi ingericht en prachtige plek in Leiden. Toegang is super makkelijk met de app. Fietsenstalling voor de deur van de gemeente. Hele leuke plek om leiden en omgeving vanuit te ontdekken. Lekker bed en mooie badkamer.
