Many restaurants and cafes around the property. Room was nice more like a small apartment than a hotel room. Bed was comfortable and room was quiet despite the number of cafes and restaurants close by. ##### Philip Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison Jun 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities CTY Books is in the perfect spot in Leiden, with a market just outside twice a week.

Wonderful location and beautiful room and view facing the canal (room 3). It could get loud at times but closing the windows and shutters helped a lot. We had no issues sleeping. The bed is super comfy! It’s perfectly equipped and a good size. We didn’t want to leave ##### Catherine Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Helene Jul 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great for some, perhaps not all Know that this is a staff-less boutique hotel. Very centrally located which means convenient/sometimes noisy. The staircase (no lift) is very steep - perhaps not okay for some. The VWoolf room is right above the main door; when guests come in and out, the building shakes. Lovely room, bathroom, necessary A/C (!) ##### Helene Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place in a fantastic area Amazing room although could use a freshen up paint wise . Housekeeping was hit and miss but didn’t really bother us . If you stay in the Virginia Wolfe suite be prepared for some notice and NO privacy from the street of your shutters are open., also everytime someone opens and shuts the main door you Weill hear and feel it in this suite . All that being said it was a great place to stay and a great location, easy to get to public transport and restaurants and bars. Leiden itself is beautiful rain hail or shine . ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2045fbd9-5bf8-49f4-8276-7c831748d22f-1753789753336.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/dd0216a9-fe97-4c7d-affa-1bfa7edb26ba-1753789753296.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Morgan Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location in the very centre of Leiden. Three floor steep climb to a duplex with the bedroom up one more floor, the bathroom on the other floor. You want to be in good shape and not need to rush to use the loo during the night. The view from the top floor bedroom is worth the effort. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/adcbf91f-2e77-47e8-9950-aca646c4d49c-1749035284858.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5170d702-7756-44da-a753-76cf53523475-1749035287198.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Morgan Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hazel Sep 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Character Property in great location with lots of dining options on the doorstep.

The location, room, and the city of Leiden are all wonderful. ##### Margaret Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is located in central Leiden. It is beautifully situated. The room and general hotel are unique in a good way. The difficulty is the spiral staircase (particularly if you've travelled internationally with a suitcase). The automated doors were new to us, but we adjusted accordingly. Unlike some staffed hotels, it's not possible to check-in early, so it's good to be aware of that when planning. Overall, though, the proprieter was responsive and friendly. I would stay there again. ##### James Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank Jun 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort NIce stay, very central and standard is good. Only thing is that the fan on the neighbour ceiling makes a bit of noise, så it can be challanging to have the windo open at night ##### Frank Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophie Sep 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location and spacious place. Lovely place, fab location, really spacious and we were so happy with our choice. We were in the Virginia Woolf room on the 1st floor and I’d highly recommend as the view is great and only up one flight of the steep stairs! It is noisy due to its super location in the thick of things, but we didn’t mind that. The electronic access etc worked fine for us all the time and we liked having the little kitchen. ##### Sophie Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Philip Apr 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Philip Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean Nov 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities There is no bar or restaurant onsite but you are right next to a number of great bars, restaurants and cafes. The web based keys worked and were simple to use. ##### Sean Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Katherine Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Older couples beware Maybe I should have read more reviews.....I knew there was not an elevator, but I did not realize how steep the spiral staircase was to room 6, but then there was also another spiral staircase (made of wood and metal) to get to the bedroom. In addition to that the bedroom has beams to knock your head into. .... overall at 55/59 years young we did not feel comfortable. Also, room was super hot when we arrived. There were no directions to the thermostat and shades were open...after a meltdown we figured out the thermostat... directions would have helped. On a positive note, we did enjoy a stovetop, sink, fridge, and microwave. Overall, if lots of spiral steps are not your thing, CTY books might not be a good choice. If you like lots of character and being near restaurants/shopping, you might like it. ##### Katherine Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra M Nov 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Will stay there again for my next meeting Had very pleasant stay at CTY. The windows are thin but they supply earplugs in the “reception”. I’m quite noise sensitive so probably wouldn’t stay in this room around the weekend, but that’s just me. It took me a while to figure out how the sitcom worked, so it was very cold the first morning. This also turned out to be because one window wasn’t closed properly (which also helped a bit with the noise, but not much). There was room service, which I didn’t expect to a two night stay. And the best iron i have ever experienced in a hotel! Made it really easy to iron my shirts. Location is central and lovely atmosphere. Will stay for next meeting as well. ##### Alexandra M Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Olivier Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Amenities I love the ease of entering the room digitally, it’s easy and no hassle. If anything it’s not very personal, which i don’t even mind. Staff (room service) was very friendly, no issues. It is a weird feeling not seeing any staff around. Not a big issue but some spots clearly weren’t vacuumed. But i only noticed when checking under the bed for any of my items. ##### Olivier Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Hilde Merete May 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice and Central place, but service could improve Nice and cool place, very central! Unfortanely we had several pravtical hick-ups. We did not receive the welcome Mail with access to the electronic key, but fortunately, there were someone in the reception when we arrived who actually checked us in. Unfortunately he forgot to mention that there was a back-up key in a «locker-box» which would have been nice to know when the eletronic key stoppet working on day 2\. We found a phone-number after some time and he guided us to the key. Also the reception was unaware that access to a gym was included in the booking, but he was very helpful, and arranged for access to the nearby gym which we enjoyed. When we arrived, there was food left in the fridge from previous guest. On day 2 also the wifi fell out, as well as the hot water. The housekeeper managed to fix the hot water in the afternoon (a fuse on the heater), but the internet was still down (and thus the Netflix access on TV) for the rest of the stay (4 days). On day 3, we did not get clean towels or filling up of coffee/tea. All these incidents makes the score go down from a very nice place in beautiful Leiden. PS, the bed was very good, have seldom slept so good away from home! ##### Hilde Merete Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grahame Oct 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent hotel, highly recommended ##### Grahame Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron Jun 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property in a wonderful location. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again, but there are a lot of steep stairs up to the room and in the room itself.

I loved the author themed-room, spacious, beautifully decorated, comfy (+AC). The location was perfect, lively Wed market, AH supermarket nearby, and a gelato place next door. The killer is stairs. They were steep, narrow, winding, and you have to haul your luggage up. Also, it is a staff-less hotel meaning no one to welcome you, all the housekeeping requests via Whatsapp and things get done silently without any acknowledgement. Also, Leiden is a university town and you'll need a pair of ear plugs Fri-Sun. One more thing, don't forget to charge your phone because you can not even enter the hotel lobby. Still, I would stay again if I revisit Leiden. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/89752f5c-7837-481b-ab67-53379ce51940-1752100345484.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Suh Young Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Old Quebec](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Quebec-Quebec-City-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n6058216-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Soho Hotel Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-The-SoHo-Hotel-Residences.h898670.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Aruba - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Noord-Hotels-Riu-Palace-Aruba-All-Inclusive.h454078.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Squamish](https://www.expedia.ca/Squamish-Cabins.d57377-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Holiday Inn New York City - Times Square by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-New-York-City-Times-Square.h9988473.Hotel-Information) > > [Dom Pedro Lisboa Hotel, a member of Radisson Individuals](https://www.expedia.ca/Lisbon-District-Hotels-Dom-Pedro-Lisboa.h201001.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Mont-Tremblant](https://www.expedia.ca/Mont-Tremblant-Hotels.d55374.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Argentina](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Argentina.d8.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Sunscape Cancun All-Inclusive Resort & Spa by Hyatt](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Sunscape-Cancun-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h28108.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo Nashville - The Countrypolitan by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Nashville-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-Nashville.h2703417.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn Fort Frances](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Frances-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Fort-Frances.h12091497.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Santa María Huatulco](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Maria-Huatulco-Hotels.d6051926.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Salty Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Lagos-Hotels-The-Salty-Lodge.h45973486.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Corballis (DUB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/dub/halifax-to-dublin) > > [Flights from Blaine (BWS) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bws/las/blaine-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from calgary intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/yyc/flights-from-calgary-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Prince George (YXS) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxs/ywg/prince-george-to-winnipeg) > > [Flights from region of waterloo intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ykf/flights-from-region-of-waterloo-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Fiumicino (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/fco/vancouver-to-rome) > > [Flights from Dorval (YUL) to Des Moines (DSM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/dsm/montreal-to-des-moines) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Tenerife](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Tenerife.d6047194.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages ### General > [Visit Braunau am Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Braunau-Am-Inn.dx6197956) > > [Visit Busan](https://www.expedia.ca/Busan.dx602043) > > [Visit Frankenmuth](https://www.expedia.ca/Frankenmuth.dx55113)
