Like the best combination of a high end Air B'n B but within a quaint hotel - we were in 'number 10' which had only three rooms. Lovely and quiet. Owner really helpful and friendly. Located centrally so we didn't need to take cabs or buses anywhere. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely old building, but stairs to 1st and 2nd floors are very steep and narrow, so less suitable for large suitcases. No check in required, area is the oldest and most picturesque part of Leiden with nice bars and restaurants. Hotel itself is in a quiet street. We did not use breakfast.

Great location and nice room up a very narrow staircase. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. Some noise from sorority house nearby on Friday night but not enough to complain about.
5.0
Loved our room and the great location. The stairs to the higher floors were challenging, small and steep, but the handrails made it workable. Pleasant staff, though there is no one on site 24 hours.

Quiet. Clean and enough room for the two of us. Perfect location. Not the best wifi.

Boutique hotel with just 8 rooms in 2 walk- up buildings (no elevator). Had top floor room that was quiet and comfy. Breakfast is great. Loved it.

It was a very easy stay - there was a no-contact check-in. No problems at all. The room was comfortable and cozy and very well located. Nice restaurants right across the street. Very close to central station. There was a minor problem with the bedding, but the hotel discounted my stay in compensation and it was very fair. The value was good and I would return there again.
4.0
The room itself was clean and well appointed once the two sets of steep spiral stairs had been negotiated. We gained the very distinct impression the hotel was run solely from a business view point. The proprietor gave no indication of wishing to engage with guests. Breakfast exactly the same each day to such an extent that having chosen coffee and earl grey tea to drink on the first morning, that was what was automatically supplied on the following two mornings without inquiry. In short the choice at breakfast was take it or leave it.

I loved the location. Nestled beside Pieterskerk and amongst some fine local restaurants. Also close to the main canal and the university.
4.0
Nice hotel in a very good location convenient for the station, restaurants and tourist attractions. As other reviews have stated the stairs are a bit awkward (but not unusually so for this type of property). Because of the size of the room (8, on the second floor) the bed was a bit awkward to get in and out of as it is enclosed on three sides (but comfortable once in).

Loved my stay at Ex Libris! Amazing location - right in the middle of all of the Pilgrim Fathers historical sites. My room was very cozy and immaculately clean.

Very nicely remodeled and right in the center of town. We were on the first floor, right on the street--very Dutch, but not very me. Otherwise, excellent.

Very pretty, well-put together little hotel in a side street in Leiden (which is an awesome town, btw). Host was friendly, hotel had everything you needed, comfy bed, nice shower, coffee/tea in room, nice linens, spotlessly clean, etc.
The stairs are steep and there's no elevator, but that's just the Netherlands.

The rooms were of very high quality and had everything we required. The bathroom was excellent with very high quality fittings throughout. There was Netflix and a range of entertainment options. The only criticism would be that stairs up were very steep and may be unsuitable for some.

Great location. Quiet. Clean. Fantastic bathroom and shower. Had room 4 on the top floor. Be ready for the steep steps...

We had a lovely stay. The room was elegant and adorable, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the area was delightful and perfectly located. We were quite impressed with the thoughtfully selected collection of wines available in the room, along with an impressive assortment of chocolates. The stairs are quite steep and narrow, but didn't bother us a bit. The owners were so lovely and friendly. They helped us with our bags up and down the stairs, made us a delicious breakfast, and filled our water bottles with ice water while we were waiting for our Uber.

This is a very nice and cosy little hotel in one of the side streets of Leiden, with only a few rooms. The owner was very welcoming when I arrived, and prepared a delicious breakfast next morning. The room was quite spacious, with everything you need, very clean, with a good bathroom, and fast wireless. I only stayed one night, but hope to come back another time.
