I enjoyed this beautiful hotel sitting on the canal. The air-conditioning is very weak and it took a long time for the rooms to get to be ever so lightly cool, not cold, but cool. Unfortunately, there was a heat wave during the time we stayed, making it very hard to get the room to cool down until the wee hours of the morning. Their buffet was nice and well worth the money. You pay extra to have the buffet, but it’s well worth it to start your day. I was hopeful that filtered water would be available to the guests staying there, however, that was not the case. You need to purchase water bottles in order to have it. The hotel staff were very helpful and very nice. Several tines they arranged for taxis to het around which was very helpful.. I will be coming back to this hotel in Leiden,
