“Exceptional B&B with a marvellous host Fred”
It was a beautiful building with modern amenities. The room was beautiful. Very big comfortable bed and a sofa, breakfast table, fridge, coffee machine and tv.The bathroom was very modern with a really good shower and constant hot water. Breakfast was delivered to the room and it was huge with a good variety of breads, croissants, fruit, yogurt, butter, jam, meats,cheese, boiled eggs and freshly squeezed orange juice. The host Fred could not do enough to make us feel welcome and answer any questions we had. I would highly recommend Het Waterhof to anyone looking for an upmarket central B&B in Leiden

“Het Waterhof was perfect for our short stay in Leiden.”
The property was easy to find from the station which is a 10 - 15 minute walk away. The apartment was spotlessly clean and Fred, the host, explained how everything worked and told us about the fascinating history of the building. We had great communication with Fred if we had any questions. The property was situated within easy reach of everything you might need or want to visit during your stay in Leiden. Amazing breakfast with fresh coffee available 24/7.

“Quiet and elegant B & B in the heart of Leiden”
The location is perfect for Leiden - quiet and so close to the activities of the town centre. The breakfast was outstanding! The style and decor were elegant and I loved the trees outside the windows giving a bit of privacy but not blocking the view of the sky and old buildings.

“Lovely stay in historic property!”
I had a lovely stay in this historic property. It's located on a quiet, pretty street in central Leiden, and is convenient for everything. The room itself was generously sized – there is a living room area and a bedroom. And the very nice owners deliver a delightful breakfast every morning! Perfect!

“Excellent stay”
Fred was very welcoming and accommodating. We had the ground floor bedroom with adjoining lounge and ensuite. The room beautifully decorated and furnished in a wonderful historic building. Fred gave us a brief history which was very interesting. The property is in a lovely street in the centre and was on the whole very quiet, considering this. The breakfast served in our room was plentiful, well presented and tasty. If the six cities and towns we visited whilst in Netherlands, Leiden was our favourite. It is beautiful.

“Lovely spacious suite with outstanding breakfast!”
I was travelling with my adult daughter who has symptomatic celiac disease and other food allergies and intolerances, so finding a place who would take great care with food preparation was crucial. Fred was amazing at sourcing and preparing an amazing safe breakfast each day. We are early to bed and early to rise people and this quiet street was perfect. We stayed in the newly finished suite that was large and comfortable with a beautiful mix of new and antique aesthetic and character. They have done an outstanding job on the design. We absolutely loved it!

“Lovely accommodation for a perfect stay in Leiden!”
If I could, I would give more than 10 stars - this place is just a dream, setting new standards for B&Bs around the world! Extremely friendly and helpful hosts, super nice and clean flat with everything you need (including a modern and large bathroom, comfy bed, stable wifi) in a historic and lovingly renovated building, perfect location (right in the city center, numerous sights and restaurants nearby, yet quiet at night) and a breakfast so lovingly prepared that you'll wish you'd booked a longer stay! :) I can't recommend this B&B enough. Go there and enjoy!
