Pluses: - perfectly located. - very original design. - nice views to the main canal. Minuses: - no staff on-site, but this is deliberate choice. - steep stairs.

CTY Books is in the perfect spot in Leiden, with a market just outside twice a week. Lots of amazing pubs/restaurants around too! The room was lovely (we had the loft) with a perfect view of the canal!

Beautiful hotel, very comfy bed. Just be warned, the stairs are very steep and there is no lift.

The property is located in central Leiden. It is beautifully situated. The room and general hotel are unique in a good way. The difficulty is the spiral staircase (particularly if you've travelled internationally with a suitcase). The automated doors were new to us, but we adjusted accordingly. Unlike some staffed hotels, it's not possible to check-in early, so it's good to be aware of that when planning. Overall, though, the proprieter was responsive and friendly. I would stay there again.

Why ask for my opinion of the staff when it is a staffless establishment?

Will stay there again for my next meeting
Had very pleasant stay at CTY. The windows are thin but they supply earplugs in the “reception”. I’m quite noise sensitive so probably wouldn’t stay in this room around the weekend, but that’s just me.
It took me a while to figure out how the sitcom worked, so it was very cold the first morning. This also turned out to be because one window wasn’t closed properly (which also helped a bit with the noise, but not much).
There was room service, which I didn’t expect to a two night stay. And the best iron i have ever experienced in a hotel! Made it really easy to iron my shirts.
Location is central and lovely atmosphere.
Will stay for next meeting as well.

There was considerable noise from the street, but ear plugs are provided and they did the trick. The location, room, and the city of Leiden are all wonderful.

We really enjoyed our stay at CTY Books. There were 3 of us in the Agatha Christy room 4. 2 spacious rooms, easily foldable bed/couch in the sitting room, well equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. We were at the back of the hotel so didn't hear any noise from the street. Right on the centre of everything

Great location and spacious place.
Lovely place, fab location, really spacious and we were so happy with our choice. We were in the Virginia Woolf room on the 1st floor and I’d highly recommend as the view is great and only up one flight of the steep stairs! It is noisy due to its super location in the thick of things, but we didn’t mind that. The electronic access etc worked fine for us all the time and we liked having the little kitchen.
