Lovely hotel, in an old townhouse in central Leiden but not too central (away from the party boats!), on a fairly quiet side street. Nicely decorated and the most comfortable bed I've slept in in a long time! Self check-in and in-person check-out were both easy.

I would have liked the toiletries to be topped up. I was able to request some more, though, so that was all good. I was on the top floor in room 8, up two flights of very narrow winding stairs, which were fine for me - all part of the lovely historic character! - but might be a challenge for the infirm or those with big suitcases.

Excellent location for exploring Leiden. Very clean and comfortable room. Appreciated small refrigerator for wines, and coffee-making facilities. The availability of breakfast at the hotel is a "plus", very handy on days with a busy travel agenda.

We chose an inner courtyard view thinking it would be quieter with less street noise, but found that a neighboring bar was hosting a King's Day party on their adjacent courtyard. Ex Libris informed us that the bar had promised the very loud "music" would end at 10 PM, and somewhat miraculously, it did. Based on other reviews, we expected the staircase to our first floor room to be narrow and steep, and it was; but carefully lifting suitcases up a couple steps at a time worked OK.

The 20 minute walk from Leiden Central to the hotel is on cobble stone streets that line a canal. People that have large luggage cases might have a hard time navigating here. The hotel is conveniently located next to a popular bar/restaurant, a historic church and a beautifully landscaped botanical garden. My room had a lot of natural lighting and plenty of space to put my things. The owner will work with you if you arrive early and need to store your luggage for a few hours.

The lighting in the back room and bathroom isn't very bright,

The room was very lovely and cozy. We stayed in a suite which had a little more room and if you’re a couple, I would recommend it. The bathroom was really nice and efficient and the shower had really good Water pressure.  If you know about Dutch stairs you’ll be well prepared. We didn’t have too much issue and my husband is in his late 50s and I’m at 40s. Packing large suitcases might make it hard to get up the staircase.

Perfect location, peaceful despite it being a very busy student party week, excellent room setup with everything in immaculate condition, great shower and very comfortable bed. The owner and staff were kind and helpful. Especially appreciated the generous supply of Nespresso coffee capsules, the stocked mini bar fridge, and Netflix in both the living room space and at the foot of the bed!

Wifi was superb in the living room space but sometimes erratic in the bedroom space further to the back of the building. The stairs are very steep so people with mobility issues (or big suitcases) would need to ensure they can book a ground floor room (we were on the second floor).

We loved the location of the hotel, the amazing shower and the comfortable bed. The room was large and had everything we needed. We enjoyed a lovely continental breakfast on our first morning; the owner was friendly and welcoming and he was happy for us to leave our luggage in reception after checking out, so that we could continue exploring the city. The hotel is situated in an attractive and quiet, yet central, part of Leiden. We would happily stay there again!

Comfortable and well-appointed room. Excellent position in the old part of the city. Breakfast was available but I did not take it.

The staircase was very steep and twisted and the steps were not wide enough to put your feet on. Of course the house was old, but a more precise indication should have been given to warn clients. There was no clear indication on the website that there was no reception desk and access was by door code given before travel.

The place is clean, equipped with all necessities (even a wine chiller :) ), within a very nice location of the city, and with a good price for the offered quality. The host was very polite and helpful.

The room is not big, but the space is sufficient. The only downside were the very steep stairs (it is difficult to transport large suitcases up and down). However, this is a very common thing in the Netherlands, and probably many of the other housings have the same problem due to the shortage of land and its maximum utilization. So keep this in mind when packing, but overall I would recommend staying at Ex Libris.

it was in a great spot near the centre of town and easy walking distance to the train station. Our room faced the back of the building and was quiet.

although the bed was super comfy the pillows were awful. lumpy and uncomfortable. I did ask if I could have another but the owner said that because it was a small hotel they did not have spares we were only there for 4 nights but I did almost buy a pillow! The stairs up to our room were very steep and trying to get a normal size suitcase up was difficult.

Location was the biggest plus for this hotel. Room was comfortable and fairly quiet. Nice view of the rooftops. Comfortable bed and studio lay out. Luggage was carried up 3? flights of stairs in a small staircase.

Did not know this would be a 3 floor walk up to the apartment in small staircase. Was a bit tricky for the over-50 year old crowd. This was not mentioned in the apartment listing. We could not have stayed here if not for the fact that the landlord made arrangements to carry our luggage up the staircase on arrival and down the staircase when leaving.
