"I received the digital keys by using the wifi at the nearby library but when I got to the hotel about 2 minutes away, I was offline so was unable to slide the keys. I don't use a plan for international travel because I find it's sufficient to use wifi at my accommodation. So at the Snooze, I had to wait until another guest arrived and provide me with the password. It would have been nice if Snooz provided that the day before check in. Also, the bike room was too small - I had to move a large and heavy e-bike that was blocking my regular bike in order to leave in the morning. Apart from these 2 issues, the room was fabulous as was the location."

Leonardo Oranje Hotel Leeuwarden

10/10 Excellent
"Though this isn't a 5-star luxury hotel, it was clear to us there are people behind Hotel Leonardo who really put the effort in with the hotel. First, the location is great, just across from the lovely main Leeuwarden train station and a moment away from the Love Fountain, with its ethereal beauty. From what I understand it is one of the 11 Fountains Project. Best to ask ahead where to find the parking entrance. Once you find this, it's great the hotel has very convenient and secure underground parking. Additional fee. Granted, the hotel is dated, but somehow I felt it was dated in a good, European kind of way. It was spotlessly clean. Our large room with comfortable king bed, good shower and large separate bath and two sinks was very well maintained and many details thought of here. The cleanliness, maintenance, comfort, amenities and great A/C during the HEATWAVE outshone any thoughts of the hotel not being totally up to date. The variety and quality of morning breakfast exceeded our expectations. The friendly woman welcoming guests each morning at breakfast made the mornings extra positive. Service in the evening for drinks was also very good, the whole dining/reception area very large and comfortable. If we had any complaint about Hotel Leonardo, I can't think of it. We had an enjoyable stay. My only regret is not being in the city long enough to enjoy all it offers, including the discovery of the miniature people I understand are hidden in many places."
