We stayed in this hotel for three nights at the end of September. My partner had booked through Booking.com and prepaid - but when we arrived, the receipt we were given somehow included unbooked breakfasts and a further unspecified extra amount. In total ¿¿¿103 euros more than shown on the printout of the receipt, which he had thoughtfully taken with him, had been taken from his account. Apologies and an explanation that the difference was due to a mistake about breakfast - but no mention of the remaining overcharge of ¿¿¿39 other than to say that the receptionist was telling me (in Dutch - a language which I speak fluently) why it had been charged (although she didn't actually manage to give the reason!). She did credit him with the correct amount though - so perhaps the cautionary aspect of this review is to say: be aware and check your bill This hotel is not really in a residential area - but is quite quiet - except on Sunday mornings when the sports fields immediately behind it are utilised to the full. The room was unexceptional - but did NOT contain a double bed. It appears that the hotel only provides twins. I spent an uncomfortable time in the gap after pushing the two beds together. There was a safe in the room, furnishings were perfectly adequate - although the toiletries provided were meagre for the price, but there was an excellent supply of salmiac lollies and peppermints in receptionCleaners were very enthousiastic - knocking at the door several times before we checked out, and in general the staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel is no-frills and probably more suited to catering for weekday business travellers (which leaves me wondering why the prices doubled at weekends) and is well placed to access major roads.

The hotel, a standard three star hotel is fine in all aspects. But.... I booked through Booking.com and I took my paperwork with me. At the check in I was given an invoice - they had already taken the money via Visa Debit card - and it was 103 euros more.Now the booking was a simple unchanged booking so no excuse or confusion. They refunded the over charge without question but without explaination either (I had a dutch speaker with me so no language problems). I've checked my bank account and it's as it should be. I trust this is a one off error.

Bastion Hotel is a good deal for those expecting the avarage... Almost everyting is avarage; the rooms, cleanliness, etc. The bathroom was a little below avarage. And the rooms upstairs can only be reached by stairs, so for those travelling with luggage must be cafrefull! The hotel is situated in a very quiet residential zone, but it is a little far from the center.

This is a hotel for the business or leisure traveller in a hurry. Very clean, professional ambiance, enough parking, an opening in the porch bang on the cycle path and lush green road side, the hotel seats conveniently on a corner of Leiden to Voorschoten highway. The lobby internet is always connected (online) and the staff very friendly. But the best of all is its price-tag. In The Netherlands, you do not have many such options, when it comes to the combination of price and comfert.

If you have a car/bicycle or OK with buses, than it is a very good choice. The breakfast was excellent, the rooms were cosy and very clean.
