There was considerable noise from the street, but ear plugs are provided and they did the trick. The location, room, and the city of Leiden are all wonderful.

Room was nice with a living area/kitchen on one level and a bed up in the loft area. Only downside was the steep narrow staircases to get to our room which some people, especially with large suitcases, might struggle with. Otherwise a pleasant stay.

Great stay in the center of Leiden! Short walk to Central Station. Room 4 was larger than expected and had everything including dishes/cutlery, coffee, toiletries etc. Virtual check-in was quick and easy, and QR code in the room provided lots of useful information for the area. Overall fantastic stay and would highly recommend CTY Books!

Brilliant location in the beautiful city centre. Rooms were stunning, photos don’t do it justice. Lights and heating were a bit tricky to operate. Kitchen contains basic crockery and a few pans, not much more. Staff at sister hotel very friendly and helpful.

Amazing authentic place to stay. Beautiful view over the canals and well equipped. Full electronic check in worked well but as you have no back up phone numbers was a bit of a worry. Three steep stairs to climb to our apartment is not for the faint hearted but then the experience is special.
