Small but very clean room. Across the street from the train station. This hotel has a self serve lobby with check in, snacks and coffee. Our room only had one pillow per bed (2 singles that were really long in length ) I asked for more pillows and they sent them up.

Good hotel, noisy and ugly location

Hotels.com should be ashamed of the picture used for this hotel. This hotel is on a busy road junction close to the station not next to a beautiful waterway. It’s a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest canal. Nothing wrong with hotel/ room/ staff etc if you want to be close to station and don’t mind the loud traffic noise 24 hours a day

Cool and vibrant hotel next to Leiden Centraal

We stayed at the Hotel Vic whilst touring The Netherlands. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable and the hotel as a whole was fantastic - smart and well located. We loved the vibrant decor, which made for a fun and vibrant stay. Leiden Centraal Station is just over the road and the city centre is only a few minutes away, but our room was lovely and quiet. There is a branch of Bagels and Beans just a few hundred metres away, which became our daily breakfast spot and which we would recommend also.

Worst hotel I have stayed in years

Hotel room smells really bad — I have window open all day and it still smells like an uncleaned toilet (mold? Human excrement? Dead mouse? I can’t tell). When I first got in the toilet bowl is covered with feces from the last guest I assumed. I will never go back again. I stay in hotels 100 nights every year, this is the worst I have been in years. Stay away at all cost.
