Stayed here for 2 nights. I asked for a quiet room and was given a single room overlooking the courtyard. It was very quiet. The room was a little small but it was not uncomfortable. It was well decorated and maintained. Staff are very friendly and public areas are very pleasant. Check in and out was v.efficient. It would have... more

The Hotel Nieuw Minerva is well-located (with a convenient and short walk to/from the train station, the University of Leiden, shopping areas, restaurants) and though simple, it's quite pleasant. I stayed for six nights, and found my room with a double-bed (at Euros$80/night) to be very clean and comfortable. My room faced a narrow side street though and since it... more

This hotel was reviewed by Netherland's Michelin "Green Guide", so I decided to give it a try for a last-minute reservation (paid 80 euro/night with Ratestogo.com) The location is excellent. Other reviews reported it to be noisy in the summer (because of the nearby student center), but being December I found no problems at all. The hotel is in the... more

This hotel was well located to the shopping areas of Leiden and easy to find. I found the check-in staff to be quite pleasant. Breakfast was also good and quite extensive. The steep stairs were a little scary with my large suitcase and my room on the 2nd floor was a little hard to find. I had a room with... more

We arrived at the Hotel and were greeted well by friendly staff, and generally during the two nights we stayed, the attitude of the staff was fine. We booked a Deluxe Room for a total of 280 Euros for Friday and Saturday nights B & B, but it is probably the worst Deluxe room we have ever seen. The decor... more

We went to Leiden for 2 nights, we where suppose to stay in another hotel at first but as it was fully booked we ended up in this place. I am not sure what expectations I had, but the room was kind of small, we had a DB bed ( 2 single beds pushed together) and then there was a... more

Stayed here recently for a week to attend a wedding in Leiden. The location can't be beat as it's right in the center of town and right on a canal. However, it's also next to the Minerva Student Organization. So if you stay there when it's warm like it was for my stay and you need to keep the windows... more

We attempted to book into the Hotel de Doelen in Leiden, and were referred to the Nieuw Minerva. At first glance, the hotel appeared quite worn and the steep stairs daunting, but we decided to give it a try for at least one night. This turned out to be a smart choice. As we became familiar with the area, the... more

Spent three days here in room overlooking canal. Great views, a bit noisy with revellers (Leiden is a student town) but not unmanagebale. Decor and room fittings tired but adequate. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Had tried to book de Doelen but it was full. Leiden is a terrifc town to visit and wander in, very few tourists,... more
