Leiden itself is a beautiful city and I was certainly glad we chose to stay here rather than in Amsterdam. More cost effective, not as busy, and only a relatively short train journey to most locations. We did day trips to Keukenhof gardens, Delft, Amsterdam and Haarlem. This hotel was very comfortable and the staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast selection was great and also enjoyed a relaxing drink in the bar on a couple of occasions. read less - 5/03/2018

We just wanted to drop our bags and then go back to the bus station for the bus to Keukenhof. The reception actually had a room ready for us so we were able to get our keycard and drop the bag in the room. That was nice. We had a big room with a big comfortable sofa.
We did not take breakfast in the hotel as we bought crossiants in the local supermarket and next morning we bought a coffee at the starbucks in the train station before we boarded our train back to Amsterdam.
My only disappointment is that for a hotel called Tulip Inn, there was almost no tulips in the hotel, whether real or just decorations. It would have been nice to have some tulip decorations, especially during tulip season, as we came specially for the tulips. read less - 5/07/2019

Hotel parking, reception, room, breakfast and also evening meal all excellent. Good location near town center and station and easy walking distance to main shopping street in lovely picturesque Leiden. Do take a canal boat trip (they last 1 hr) and you see and learn a lot. The hotel even gave us a voucher for money off the boat trip which was already very affordable
Evening meal served to perfection, little bit pricey though my husband thought not, fairly small menu but sufficient for guests though not a lot of the guests seemed to dine in, but it was mobbed for breakfast so the guests were there.
The room was excellent, decor lovely and the beds extremely comfortable and a nice bathroom and good shower. All in all good value for money and I would happily have stayed for longer but we used the hotel for the one night before returning to Newcastle on the ferry from Amsterdam.
Would thoroughly recommend staying here ! read less - 6/16/2018

Their service is fantastic, breakfast is very good quality and their fantastic bar is open till 0100! The bar and lounge area is very comfortable. On my last trip I stayed in their business suite and was so pleased to see a poster of 'Girl in the white kimono' by Breitner. Of course, its location is the most fantastic feature- right infront of the Leiden Centraal Station. read less - 6/21/2019

My only criticism is we were at the front of the hotel and the road noise was very noticeable. We were offered ear plugs but I am surprised that it hasn't invested in secondary double glazing to sound proof the room. I had requested rooms at the back but this was not mentioned when we booked in. read less - 5/11/2019

All of the employees provided excellent service throughout our entire stay. The room was very clean and Housekeeping even left a bag of fresh towels and toiletries for us when we accidentally left the "Still Sleeping" sign on our door.
Breakfast here was phenomenal as well! It's very clean and organized with a ton of options. The breakfast area was crowded on the weekend but the staff worked hard to keep everything filled and clean. It was easily the best hotel breakfast we have ever had!
The location was very convenient to the Leiden Train Station and easy to walk to downtown Leiden. We would definitely stay here again. read less - 10/24/2018

Our target was to drive around tulip fields and Visit Keukenhof as early as possible. Hotel is right across the train station and parking available for 12 euros per day.

In addition, Leiden itself is a nice city.
The hotel is well located, easily reachable by car and by train (the train station it’s just in front of the hotel).
Rooms are big (we were two families with two rooms) and above all very clean.
The staff was always kind and smiling (even when we informed the floor maid that one of our boys had thrown up during the night).
It’s possible to park the car in a public garage just in front of the back entrance of the hotel (cheap fare).
In a nutshell it’s very recommended! read less - 5/14/2019

The restaurant is worth noting as it has an interesting good value menu and wine list. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful. After indulging you might want the gym. Though there is not a fitness room in the hotel, it thoughtfully offers free access to an excellent fitness centre only 50m away. All in all, a reliable and fuss-free hotel with a standard that is higher than you might expect. read less - 7/04/2019

I stayed in a room with 4 single beds, which I think would make it good for families. The beds are put side by side so that they look like two king beds. The bathroom was large and had a bathtub. No refrigerator, but plenty of room for clothes. I liked the fact that the room was carpet free.
My room came with breakfast so I enjoyed that every morning. Extensive buffet with scrambled eggs, fried eggs, boiled eggs, pancakes, beans, tomato gratin, variety of breads, cheeses, meats, yogurt, juice, fruit, cereal. Large selection. Otherwise, it's 16.5 euros.
It's got an excellent location--close to everything, 15 minute walk to the university, shopping, the museums. Loads of restaurants and places to go a short distance away. There is a Jumbo supermarket right near the train station where I picked up snacks.
The tv had Dutch, German, French, Spanish, English channels, including BBC 1, BBC 2, CNBC, Bloomberg News, CNN. There is also a business center area with two computers and printers.
Staff was helpful, and my room was made up nicely by housekeeping every day.
While there was very little noise from the street (I had a room in the back overlooking the parking lot), the soundproofing between rooms was not great--I could hear when my neighbor's cell phone rang for skype calls, and I could also hear nearly every word of his conversations. But luckily he was fairly quiet
There was no thermostat in the room, so I guess you have to just live with the temperature that the hotel sets; luckily it was not one of those places where they crank the heat up to suffocating levels. The room had its own radiator. Not sure about AC
I would stay here again in a heartbeat. read less - 9/28/2018

We chose this hotel because it was close to a train station and Leiden was central enough for our plans. We also had a hard time finding a hotel that could fit 4 people and this was one of them. This hotel worked out great for us! Was about 2 blocks from the train station, the room was very clean, the beds were comfortable, the wifi worked great and the bathroom looked recently remodeled. Absolutely no complaints about the room. We didn't pay for breakfast but there is a Starbucks at the train station (along with other food options) so we ate our breakfast there before taking the train. The hotel is also very close to the city center as we did spend one afternoon walking around Leiden. I would recommend this hotel for families based on your needs. read less - 6/23/2018

The hotel is just 2 minutes walk from the Leiden Centraal train station. The hotel offers decent sized modern rooms with all the usual facilities, there is a bicycle hire service within the hotel. There is plenty of communal space in the main reception areas and it is ideal for large groups travelling together. I thoroughly recommend this hotel for single travellers or families or large groups of tourists. The staff are friendly and helpful. If I ever travel to Leiden I will certainly stay at the Golden Tulip. read less - 7/10/2018

We verbleven in een “golden tulip”-kamer met airco, regendouche en de mogelijheid om koffie en thee te zetten. We begrepen dat de “tulip inn”-kamers iets eenvoudiger zijn uitgevoerd.
De eerste indruk was prima, vriendelijk te woord gestaan en snelle check-in. Eerste indruk van de kamer ook goed, netjes, niet bijzonder groot, maar door de bijzondere en speelse indeling deed het allemaal wat ruimtelijker aan, goed gedaan.
Lekker bedden, goede douche, geen klagen.
Parkeren is inderdaad wat omslachtig (sleutel van parkeergarage halen, drie minuutjes rijden, parkeren en vervolgens de sleutel weer inleveren) maar vanwege de uitstekende ligging (centrum op loopafstand) hebben wij de auto verder niet nodig gehad, dus verder geen probleem voor ons.
‘s Ochtends een prima ontbijtbuffet, zeer vriendelijke medewerkers, hoewel een deel van het interieur inmiddels wel wat slijtage vertoonde.
Al met al een geslaagd verblijf en wanneer wij Leiden weer eens bezoeken, keren wij zeker nog eens terug. read less - 2/17/2019
