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.

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.

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.

Leiden city trip
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.

Tevreden!
De locatie is echt top. Kan niet beter. Ook geen last gehad van het geluid vanuit de stad. Wij waren in totaal met 3 meiden en wij vonden het jammer dat er geen grote spiegel was. Alleen die in de badkamer (die beslagen was na het douchen). Dit vond we jammer. De trap naar boven via de algemene hal is best smal, dus goed opletten als je hem op of af loopt. Daarnaast kraakte de slaapbank heel erg. Die mag wel eens vervangen worden. Voor de rest: echt tevreden. De koffie werd aangevuld volgende dag en schone handdoeken.
