Average but expensive

This hotel is not very modern, not even having USB sockets for charging. The room quite basic, my bed was releasing strange sounds with my every move. Awful smell in the toilet did not disappear all night. Kettle was not working. It’s not the hotel quality it used to be 5-10 years ago.

Not a great hotel given the cost.

Quite an expensive hotel which is located in a great location (close to train station) in Leiden. For a hotel that seems to charge a higher end price, there is no bottled water in the room and the coffee is chargeable in the mornings (odd for a Dutch hotel). Also, the mini fridge in the room had the previous customers opened tinned tray of sardines, which was an unpleasant find. In short, there are many better hotels in Leiden.

Friendly, efficient staff. The room felt a bit dated for the price, no USB ports or English TV channels available. Soft mattress, I like to have a window open at night but the crisp outside was noisy in room 208. Hotel is in a super handy location close the the train and central Bus station and just a few minute walk to the central part of Leiden

Dear Reception Manager Golden Tulip Leiden Center I hope you are in the best of health I would like to inform you that I have been traveling to the Netherlands mainly for business since 1980. The first hotel I stayed in was the Marriott in Amsterdam. Since then I stayed in most of the major hotels in Amsterdam except the Amstel. The same for Rotterdam. My business took me sometime to small towns where I stayed in small but convenient hotels. I arrived the day before yesterday intending to stay for two nights on my way back to Kuwait from Detroit but the charm of Leiden induced me to stay for two more days. Everybody we met in the hotel and the city was nice and polite except one receptionist I met her today at AM 11:50. We were supposed to move to our new room in the new building. I went to the receptionist whose name is Noa and I am not sure about the spelling and asked when we can move to our new room and she or another girl answered your room is ready. And I asked Noa what time I have to check out from my room and she replied at 12. So I told we need more time to pack. She insisted on 12. And I asked give at least until 12:30 and she replied no. And then after demand from me she said I will give you until 12:15. And we managed to check out at 12:25 and a nice girl checked us out. I told Noa that even if you’re fully booked the room has to be available by PM 3:00. But she didn’t care. But the most hurting was the way she was talking to me. She was talking to me as

When I arrived at one o'clock at the hotel, there are huge group and customers were queuing in the reception desk. There were only one staff working at the reception desk, I had to wait for checking in for half an hour. I had an appointment at two, due to the time loss, I was late for the appointment. The room was fine with a wonderful bathroom, the location is convenient. Just hope when the reception is crowded with guests, some staff could helped the situation.

Goede locatie. Hotel lijkt wat verouderd, oude vloerbedekking in de gangen. Hotelkamer (executive) aan de kleine kant. Er lag nog een tube doucheschuim van de vorige gasten. Kamer gehorig zeker dus helaas met ramen dicht moeten slapen. Airco is aanwezig. Roomservice is mogelijk maar erg prijzig. Bedden werden wel opgemaakt tijdens ons verblijf maar geen nieuwe handdoeken of schone glazen/koffiekopjes. Geen flesje water in erg kleine koelkast. Er past geen 1,5 liter fles water in. Personeel vriendelijk. We hebben geen ontbijt genuttigd in het hotel dus daar valt niets over te zeggen. Mocht je buren de deur willen ontbijten dan is Bagels&Beans op loopafstand een aanrader. Prachtige stad is Leiden, wel erg druk door de Pride.
