Check in was automated and the code I was sent was incorrect so I wasted 45 minutes getting to my room. The room was large at first glance but there was no bathroom as such and it was cold. It’a quite dark (ina stylish sort of way) that made getting ready in the morning more of a challenge. The room was clean and in very good condition and the bed was comfortable. I didn’t opt for breakfast. A second stay might be easier now I have learned the lessons.
Small but very clean room. Across the street from the train station. This hotel has a self serve lobby with check in, snacks and coffee. Our room only had one pillow per bed (2 singles that were really long in length ) I asked for more pillows and they sent them up.
We selected Hotel VIC because of the proximity to Leiden Centraal. We traveled by train 8 of the 11 days we were in the Netherlands, so having the station so close was a big bonus. The room was all that we needed it to be and the bed was wonderful!
Nice and convenient location. Nice and clean rooms and the breakfast at the nextdoor restautrant was nice too. There are, however, nicer hotels for the same price in Leiden. The check-in was a bit odd as it's unmanned and required you to use your booking code, which is NOT the same booking code as Hotels provides you with.
Great location for the train station and bus to Keuchenhof. Fun style, clean and safe and despite being outside a traffic junction we weren’t disturbed by any outside noise. We had a small fridge in the room, a decent hairdryer and the mini market downstairs was handy. We had a great stay; it met our needs for exploring Leiden, jumping on the train/ bus to go exploring elsewhere.

Very close to train station and short walk to restaurants and canal rides.
We stayed at the Hotel Vic whilst touring The Netherlands. Our room was extremely clean and comfortable and the hotel as a whole was fantastic - smart and well located. We loved the vibrant decor, which made for a fun and vibrant stay. Leiden Centraal Station is just over the road and the city centre is only a few minutes away, but our room was lovely and quiet. There is a branch of Bagels and Beans just a few hundred metres away, which became our daily breakfast spot and which we would recommend also.
