I was happy with the room, which included a large, comfortable bed and a convenient desk. But I didn't like that there were no insect screens in the windows, forcing one to choose between having the lights on at night and sleeping in a hot room. The coffee cups were so poorly designed that the average person's finger wouldn't fit through the handle and that you burn your finger holding the cup. A fridge would have been nice too, but you get what you pay for.

It is a great location very close to Leiden Central Station. The common areas are a good place to relax and overall the hotel is higher end business hotel. We stayed for leisure and it was also good for our stay. The restaurant and bar area was expansive and fancy looking but we did not have time to enjoy those amenities. There was no air conditioning control in the room. I think the vent in the room was part of hotel main system but we just opened the window for ventilation.

On site parking was secure but very expensive. Hotel website says it has a/c in every room but they don’t. The staff did provide us with some fans when we asked about the a/c but it was still very hot in our room (we visited in late June). The location was walkable to the city center and very close to the train station. Beds were comfortable except that the heat made it hard to sleep.

Very comfortable bedroom apart from the heat: any building without air conditioning needs a means of getting hot air out and cool air in. Only one bedroom window opened and that only a crack, so no effective heat exchange, and the corridors were similarly extremely hot even when the temperature outside was moderate or cool. Poor building design.

Breakfast was excellent.

We were first assigned to a room that had no air conditioning. When we called the front desk to complain, the clerk was not at all helpful. Fortunately, my husband, who speaks Dutch, spoke to them and managed to persuade them to move us to a smaller room that at least was comfortable, if shabby. The restaurant is good. The breakfast buffet typical. We wouldn’t stay there again.

POSITIVE : the location was good because we had a car, including the secure parking garage. The hotel email telling us the address of the car park wait area was good to receive, BUT to not mention the massive amount of road works getting to it was a major problem. The road works was due to Kermis which I’m sure every citizen knows about. The hotel should have told us to make sure our GPS was able to pick up road works, or at least told us to avoid inner city streets. Instead of 10 minutes till arrival when we hit the road works, it was an hour and lots more kilometres and frustration! Each detour brought us to another one and another one etc etc!

The room was small but okay for 1 night. The shower pressure was pathetic, which I guess was okay for the cleaner because with the lack of shower curtain, water would have been all over the floor. Not good!

Bed was comfy enough, but slightly hard. Good to have large windows to see outside (high rise building view). Hotel itself is in need of an update for the price they charge for both the tiny room and high car park cost.

We had a pleasant stay at the Golden Tulip. Leiden is beautiful. The hotel was quite pricey and a short 10 min walk from the main restaurant area. The hotel bar was pretty expensive we had two beers for €21 which is ridiculous!! The room was really spacious with lots of natural light and a huge bathroom. The room was really warm and no fans were provided. Luckily we brought our own as travelling with a car. Overall, a great stay but would probably find a cheaper alternative next time.

Need more lighting

Customers should be aware of the fact that the hotel has two sections with slightly different names. This is to differentiate what they call 3 star versus 4 star accommodations. The key differentiator is that the 3 star section has no AC and old fashioned high bathtubs which can be quite dangerous for older people with less mobility to use. Their rooms are slightly larger than the 4 star rooms, however. Since my wife has significant mobility issues they were gracious enough to upgrade us to a 4 star room in the new section. With its walk in shower it met our needs perfectly. The only two things that we were not fond of were the two twin beds pushed together (which kept separating during the night) and the very limited lighting in the room.

Other than that the room was clean, neat and perfectly located to the train station so no need for a taxi. The walk into the old section of town was also quite short. The staff was always friendly and accommodating. One of the highlights of the hotel was its restaurant which served very good food - not the ordinary mediocre food typical of most American hotels.

Only one breakfast tea bag on tray, but two others we didn’t like.
