Reviews of ExLibris Boutique Hotel

My room was very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The bed was comfortable, and I had a great night’s sleep. However, the stairs leading to the room might be challenging for someone with mobility issues. The hotel is in a great location, close to everything Leiden has to offer. Breakfast wasn’t included in the room rate, but the selection was good and the food was tasty.

Room was small but very comfortable.

There needs to be a better description about the stairs. If you are older or have large suitcases, it would be very difficult to get up the winding narrow stairs.

Notifications on how to enter, room was ready and as expected. Sound proof windows. Climate control made our stay during hot and noosy night very comfortable. Tea making facilities appreciated!

MINOR issues. Mail said parking was 28, however price has gone up to EUR 30. Staircase is very narrow, not suitable if you’re suffering from mobility issues.

Charming boutique hotel at heart of Leiden! Very close to museums and the university, at the heart of everything on a lovely, cobbled street. Really loved it!

Nothing

The location was perfect as we were participating in the half marathon. There were plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance.

The staircase was incredibly steep, our room was on the second floor and there was no lift. No help was offered to take our luggage to the room.

Comfortable bed, great location, well equipped room.

My room was on a second floor. Physical access to the room is uncomfortable and dangerous because of the very steep steps and very narrow stairwell, especially when carrying luggage. Although check-in was very easy and convenient, I did miss having personal contact with someone at check-in. The bathroom is pretty but very small. As the door opens against the rest of the bathroom and hits the sink cabinet, you cannot pass around it to get into the shower if you're inside the bathroom. Instead, you need to get out of the bathroom and open the shower door in order to get into the shower. This is a small detail which can be easily improved by changing the swinging direction of the door.

Location in the old town, beautiful area and character

Again location, your in the student area. Bed was comfortable but one person had to climb over the other, bathroom was cramped, hard to open shower door once in bathroom. Not really a true hotel, not much contact with anybody, more a room in a house. We coped with the stairs, but be warned and had no help with luggage which was fine for us but others may struggle.

This is a lovely hotel in a great location. The owner is friendly, helpful and responsive. The espresso machine was a welcome feature. The shower is great and the under floor heating in the bathroom was also impressive.

Even by Dutch standards, the stairs to our room were very steep and hard to access with luggage. The bed set up isn't ideal either as there is no space around it, so if there are two of you it's not great for getting in and out (especially from the far side). Looking at the pictures I think this issue is probably only in this particular second floor room, however.

Bed was very comfortable, location good, breakfast was also good and served efficiently.

The stairs!!! Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay would have had second thoughts 🥴.

High quality accomodation in fabulous location. Really good restaurants and bars around.

Heavy rain meant access was required to collect rain from flat roof which was unusual and could have disturbed us. Stairs are typically old Dutch. I like them but you need to be fully able to get up and down them!

The property and atmosphere is very charming and cozy and the location is super convenient in the heart of Leiden historical district. The room was vary nice and comfortable, quiet at night, with a nice desk that was very useful for my work trip. Its size exceeded my expectations. The bed was also very comfortable.

Being the building historical, the staircase was very steep and narrow. It was not a problem for me but it is not easy to climb it if you have a large suitcase.

Fint rum, nära till allt.

Breakfast not included, bit noisy.

Didn’t have breakfast, but it was available at additional charge.

The stairs were terribly steep. There was no reception or hotel facilities. It was less like a hotel and more like an Airbnb.

Great atmosphere; Nicely decorated rooms. Great a-la carte breakfast. Perfect location in city center, close the university.

Shower water not running off smoothly; loose towel hanger. Wifi signal not strong in all parts of the room. Stairs are narrow, not easy to climb or descend with a suitcase.

Very comfortable and well appointed attic room.

Boutique hotel in the old houses district of Leiden. Renovated and eecorated with a good sense of quality and design. Comfortable bed and room.

The stairs, very steep. But that is normal in such old houses (build in 1800 something)
