  Liked: We had a wonderful stay at this B&B in Leiden. The host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and caring, and made us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of options, and the location was perfect—just a few minutes’ walk from the botanical gardens, as well as the main shopping streets, restaurants, and cafés. The room was great, and the whole place had such a beautiful, fun, and charming atmosphere. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. I would definitely stay here again if I’m back in Leiden!

  Liked: Wonderful stay, a true gem in the heart of the city! We had a fantastic experience. The hospitality was wonderful from the very first moment. The property is ancient and full of charm, instantly immersing you in the authentic style and mood of the city. Our room was spacious and incredibly bright, with great attention to detail. Another absolute highlight was the breakfast: generous, varied (both sweet and savory), and delivered every morning directly by the owner, a personal touch that we truly appreciated. The location is extremely central, just a short walk from all the main attractions and the most traditional neighborhoods. Furthermore, we found Leiden absolutely beautiful both by day and by night, and this location is a perfect hub if you want to reach the Central Station to visit nearby cities like The Hague and Delft. We will definitely be back also with family! Highly recommended! Hartelijke groeten en tot de volgende keer! Eleonora e Federico
