    The lighting was poor in the living area and we needed drawers or shelves so that we could unpack and not live out of our suitcases which only fit on the floor.

    Fred was lovely - he made arrangements for us to get the keys as our flight was delayed and he couldn't greet us as a result. It was easy to get there. The breakfast was phenomenal - more varied items and plenty of them than I've ever seen! And he kindly drove us to the train station the early morning we were checking out and gave us sandwiches to enjoy on our journey to Antwerp!

    Since it's a very old building with single glass windows, it can feel chilly, especially in the winter months.

    A charming old building in the city center, in the middle of historic sights and yet a peaceful location. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is plentiful and varied. There's coffee and tea available all the time.

    The Het Waterhof is located in a very old building, I found out upon arrival and Fred gave a tour and history of the building. The location is in the centre of Leiden and within walking distance of everything you need. Again a booklet has been produced by Fred and Marion with a list of recommended eateries, I attended a few and they were good. The breakfast is continental and extremely good. A very good standard of accommodation with everything you need. I would highly recommend it and will stay here again during my next trip to Leiden if it's available.

    We didn't stay long enough.

    The place was very charming and incredibly well appointed. The breakfast part of the bed and breakfast was incredibly generous and we felt very much at home. Leiden was a fabulous destination - incredible food (Bree33 was outstanding) and bike hire (Bizon Bikes) meant we had a lovely time. We will be back. Thanks Fred and Marion for your generosity.

    Honestly nothing!

    The property has a marvelously historic past, which Fred was more than happy to explain on our impromptu tour of the centuries-old house. The little suite was beautifully decorated, modern (with old world charm) and very comfortable. Breakfast was AMAZING! delivered to our door , delightfully presented, with lots of choices, and slightly different each day. The neighborhood is fabulous, smack in the middle of Mayflower Pilgrim's and young Rembrandt's surroundings. Great restaurants, not a bad walk from Centraal Station (unless you're shlepping a lot of luggage - if so, take a local bus a couple of stops or a 2 minute uber). A ton of stuff to see and do (don't leave out Rembrandt's Latin School with the portrait window!) We LOVED Leiden and didn't spend enough time there. So we'll have to go back. When we do, we look forward to staying at Het Waterhof again!

    Everything was great!

    Lovely rooms in a historic building - spacious, high-ceilinged, beautifully restored. Very (big) comfy bed and smart shower room. Kitchen area with complimentary hot drinks (and a fridge) in the hallway. Our hosts (Marion and Fred) were very welcoming - also helpful and informative about the history of the building and about the city (local eateries etc). The breakfasts were delicious - very generous, varied and appetising. We had the best time! Leiden itself is delightful and we think this is the nicest B&B we have stayed in!

    We had a great stay ! The B&B is ideally located in the center of Leiden (around 10 min walk from the station), perfect for enjoying the city by foot of bike. The appartmentis very cozy, and part of a historical Dutch house. Fred, the owner, was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during the stay. And last but not least, the breakfast was simply wonderful (Fred especially made it veggie for us) !!
