GonneNLGoede locatie in Leiden en omgeving te ontdekken.
De locatie.
De kamer was niet heel schoon (spinnenwebben) en in z'n geheel toe aan modernisering.
SusanneGermanyAn sich schön, bis auf die bereits erwähnten Themen
Sehr schöne Lage,
Bei den Mahlzeiten außen leider gestört durch viele Amseln und Möwen, die über Tische und Sitzgelegenheiten gelaufen sind.
Dadurch der Aussenbereich ungepflegten verschmutzt

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Van der Valk Hotel Leiden
What time is check-in and check-out at Van der Valk Hotel Leiden?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Van der Valk Hotel Leiden allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Van der Valk Hotel Leiden?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Van der Valk Hotel Leiden?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Van der Valk Hotel Leiden have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Van der Valk Hotel Leiden?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Van der Valk Hotel Leiden have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Van der Valk Hotel Leiden?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Van der Valk Hotel Leiden?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
