Boutique Hotel d'Oude Morsch in Leiden

Property was beautifully situated next to the Morsch Gate entrance to the old city at the confluence of two canals. A statue of Rembrandt van Rijn was in the adjacent park as this was where he was born. The setting is very picturesque especially with boat traffic in the evenings trolling around the city. We stayed for three nights. It got warmer each night which is unusual for Holland. There was no air conditioning. We had to leave open a window, and there was nearby foot traffic and revelers that made a little noise beyond the time you would anticipate. The last night was quite warm and even with the window open, I was sweating in the bed. As we checked out, I suggested to the desk employee that air movement is needed for that room like a fan or something. She said "why didn't you use the fan?" I said " What fan?" She said "the fan in your room?" I said "there was no fan in the room." She said, "somebody must have removed it."

The bed was fine, the bathroom was designed by an amateur and no lady could ever apply makeup with the dismal light fixture over the bathroom mirror. The breakfast they offered was very comprehensive and way more than I was prepared to eat. Nevertheless, ever patron received the same breakfast. There was no menu, just a binary choice of breakfast, yes or no.

I will not stay there again.
