City centre or Leiden Centraal?
The edge of the historic centre is about a five-minute walk from Leiden Centraal. A centre hotel suits an evening among the canals; a station hotel shortens luggage transfers and connections to Amsterdam, Schiphol, The Hague and Rotterdam.
Boutique hotels in the historic centre
Huys van Leyden is a boutique hotel inside a national monument dating from 1611 on the Oude Singel. City Hotel Rembrandt, near Beestenmarkt and Molen De Valk, lists 19 hotel rooms plus four studio apartments.
