The Tulip Inn is a very well appointed property with a range of facilities. The staff are welcoming and most amenable. The restaurant provides a fine range of cuisine. This property is conveniently placed for all the amenities of Leiden. It is situated directly opposite the bus and rail stations providing links to the local area as well as all other areas of the Netherlands and beyond. Thoroughly recommended.

Spacious room with 4 twin beds. Bike shed with lock. Luggage room. Cons: shower has only half glass door/wall. I guess this is common in many European hotels. Water falls outside. No AC in room. Front desk was kind enough to lend us a table fan.

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.

It was right next to the train station and very close to town. We also appreciated the 24 hour check in! I do wish there was a refrigerator in our room and washer/ dryer access without paying for a service. However, I think not having them is more common in Europe.

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.
