This IBIS met expectations. I requested and was given a room with a view of the train station to watch the trains and the commuters. The view is a very lively show of frequent trains coming and going, and the room was quiet – noise was not a problem. There were enough electrical outlets to charge two iPhones at night and the WiFi was fine. Breakfast was satisfactory. The water is fine for drinking or filling your water bottle. The rooms are large (for an IBIS) and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable. The bed covering was a heavy comforter, without a top sheet, which is is very common now. A top sheet on the bed would be nice, because sometimes the comforter gets too hot at night.

In a longer review for a second recent stay, I shared at some length many positives of this property in terms of convenient location for either Leiden exploration or travel (train or bus), proximity of some practical necessities, friendly staff, plentiful & varied breakfast options, presence of an in-room kettle for tea/coffee prep, and good use of space in the room. But, I forgot to add one key plus for summer travel and one that I particularly appreciated on a multi-day stay in August - the HVAC system (one of those individual sorts that's mounted high on the wall) is both quiet & effective. That made all the difference in terms of good rest in the evening.

Great location for either exploring Leiden itself (at north end of the city) or using it as a home base for other journeys (train station & bus connections a very short walk); there are also some nearby food stores & a drug store/chemists for shopping needs; not a super-picturesque setting but very practical and with enough people about (and security features at the hotel) to feel safe. And, given the proximity to the train & busses, it's remarkably quiet. I've also found the staff to be very friendly & accommodating. Based on a prior stay I opted (solo traveler) for a room with a double bed and that included breakfast (varied & plentiful options); that gave me a bit more space in the room, while still being reasonably cost-effective. Efficient use of space, with some closet & open shelving, as well as a desk-like area and the all-important (for some of us anyway) kettle for boiling water for tea or coffee. Some signs of wear relative to a visit several years ago, but all was clean, comfortable, and functional - I can live with a scratch on the woodwork here & there. Only small disappointment was that some UK-associated TV stations present when one scrolled through the options, and that worked in a late July visit, were non-functional come August.

Great location - less than five minute walk from the train station, and about a five minute walk to the old town of Leiden. I had a small single, which was clean and perfect for my needs. My room faced the old town so I had a nice view of the windmills and church towers.
