I agree with some other reviews: the corridors need some work, the building has cigarette smell all over....the rooms look like a box, a really big box though, but still they could add something to the coziness of the room. Also: the coffee/tea facility has paper cups to serve the coffee in... What's that about? The shower has a 'green'... More

Stayed in this hotel for one night, rooms are nicely furbished, but smell of smoke, although we had a non-smoking room. Free WiFi, great shower, includes safe, minibar, comfortable bed. Breakfast buffet was extensive and very good. Plenty of parking space. Highly recommended and excellent value for money (we paid €72 for one night incl. breakfast).

This was our second time at De Gouden Leeuw. The rooms are clean and spacious. The food and service is outstanding and there is a pleasant atmosphere especially in the summer time. The hotel's leadership will provide assistance if needed to resolve any issues you may have.

Voorschoten is the birthplace of the van der Valk hotel chain, but since the old man died and the sons have been running the business, the hotels are going downhill. The public reception area is still impressive, but the corridors are stained and shabby, and the bedrooms are tired and scuffed. The restaurant remains popular, with a buffet-style lunch, but...

We stayed for a couple of nights and were delighted with the room (410), the breakfast which we had at around 1030 on the Sunday (very accommodating!), and the staff who were efficient and friendly. Competitive price and relaxed atmosphere. No, it's not 5 star, but it's welcoming and comfortable.

We needed somewhere to stay on a weekend visit to friends in Voorschoten and chose this hotel. We got a "comfort room", which was on the top floor under the roof . Even so it was spacious, with lots of light and a really nice modern bathroom- with both an overhead shower and a telephone style shower. The room price... More

Initially impressed with the reception area, which is modern and inviting, I was disappointed once I went further. The corridor to my "Deluxe" room was dark, smelled stale, and had stains all over the carpet. The so called "Deluxe" room was, in fact, an old tired room with a new TV and big bath. The "view" that was advertised was... More

Nice rooms, privacy, quite location. Very proper place if you have to do business in Leiden or Den Haag.

If you're feeling slightly blue, stay out of this hotel as you will leave positively suicidal. I checked in and was given a room with poo stains in the toilet, the entire room was sticky, and nothing worked properly. The staff are from another planet where the concept of guest services or hospitality are a foreign concept. My fellow guests... More

Stayed here recently on business as i have done previously, the rooms depending on location in the hotel can look tired or very modern. In both cases are the rooms comfortable and clean, the two essential points to any hotel stay. The bathroom was similarly well sized and fully equipped. Breakfast was the only slight let down, when i arrived... More
