Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel de Duif Lisse - Keukenhof

A strange internal layout of communal areas led to a dingey basement room with a tiny window offset from the room itself. The bathroom was clean but dated. The room was incredibly hot all night. The check in process was incredibly stressful as the hotel continually contacted me demanding various bits of information. Then upon arrival, the hotel used an odd digital key, which while novel, only really added complexity to what should be a simple process of getting a hotel room.

The house is beautiful, but it’s not easy to reach. In the evening, there was no one to help us find the door, which made it even more difficult. The location is quite inconvenient — we spent a lot of time and money just getting there. In the morning, the nearest bus stop was far, and we couldn’t find a taxi. We ended up losing half the day just trying to get into the city. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who wants quick and easy access to the city center.

Natasha was very helpful in explaining everything having just arrived from airport. She also sorted out the hire bike. Guest area with coffee nice amenity. Overall helpful and friendly staff. Hotel right next to shops and cafes. Very happy with my stay

Close enough to walk to Keukenhof Gardens was the reason we chose this place. We stayed in a duplex room since it had a washer and we thought we could use it after 2 weeks in Scotland before coming to see Keukenhof Gardens. (Beautiful!) Spiral staircase going up to room. Once in the room there was a very steep staircase to the bedroom and bathroom. Not easy with heavy luggage. The rooms were good sized but the extra staircase to the bedroom/bath was inconvenient. Breakfast was nothing special at all and I would not pay extra for it. Overall a basic hotel in a charming area of Lisse. Beware you must get a digital key if you are checking in after 5 pm or you will not be able to even get in the front door. We did this, but luckily someone was still at the desk when we arrived at 5:30. The front door digital key worked but our room key did not! The desk person gave us an actual key for us to use. Don't know what we would have done if she hadn't still been at the desk! The plus is that there were several good restaurants within easy walking distance, the gardens were a 15 minute walk and parking was free!

This hotel offers straightforward comfortable accommodations at a good price. It is vry quiet and close to the gardens. The attached (but separate) restaurant is delightful. The limitations of the front were a problem for us, as we were arriving after 6pm. We eventually sorted out our stay, but it was not straightforward.

We were disappointed in that the photo we saw (and based our decision on staying) indicated more space in the room.In fact, the room was so small that we could barely walk around the bed. The cost for the room was triple what I would expect for a room of that size. Plus the headboard was covered with dust. The staff offered no help.

It was a very comfortable stay. Great location. Within walking distance to the shops and restaurants, and Keukenhof Gardens. Slightly small room but had everything we needed including a fridge and coffee machine.

Room was small but very clean. Would be nice to have a fridge and safe box. It was very noisy as people walked up and down the stairs and it actually vibrated the bed. Sounded like elephants. We told the front desk. Poor planning of stairs. No elevator so if you can’t manage stairs with suitcases don’t come here. Lots of restauarants and shops in area.

Quaint

Clean and comfortable accomodation with friendly staff, lovely lounge, centrally situated in Lisse and only 15 minutes walk from Keukenhof gardens. Bedrooms quite small but clean, beds comfortable and good bathrooms. They supplied a virtual assistant on whatsapp which was really helpful to find out the hotel facilities and attractions in the surrounding area. Overall very good.

The reception center staff were so friendly and helpful. They helped me get to the hospital after I fell and broke my arm. They helped me secure my transportation and helped me with my iphone recharging.

The hotel is very near the town centre and walking distance from Keukenhof. It is clean and quiet. My triple bedroom was a bit small and quite basic e.g. only one chair, no telephone... There is no one on Reception early morning or after 5pm and getting the digital pass key involved exchanging several emails and then did not work for me. The 2nd day I did not see an email, because I was out, asking me to register again! I phoned the Emergency no. in the evening as the card did not open my bedroom door and a very helpful night receptionist opened my door remotely. He re-sent me the pass by email and after that it all worked OK.

Very clean, warm and welcoming and ideal for what we wanted - walking distance to Keukenhof. Parking a little limited but overall excellent.

Nice Hotel, nice breakfast. You can walk to keukenhof gardens in about 15min. The staff is very friendly, the room is small but have all you need. Only downfall... no lift. You need to climb the stairs.

Unfortunately they are only manned from 9am-5:00pm and so that means if anything goes wrong or you need help. There is no one there or even anyone to answer the phone. Our shower flooded our room within the first 20 mins of arriving and no one could help to get us more towels or take care of the mess. Our room was also in the basement which was very unexpected due to the pictures listed. We ended up leaving since we couldn’t get a hold of anyone or even walk around in our room with all the water everywhere. We also ran into some other guests who tried to check into their room and other guests were in it… safe to say, we will not be back

Loved our stay at this hotel, could have a few things that would help staff and guests such as - “Clean room or don’t disturb” door handle sign. And advert to make it clear to pay additional extra cost for kitchen cookware instead of assuming that the kitchen in your room has these items. Other than that, loved our stay.

Peaceful stay and friendly staff. Enjoyed my short time here.

This is a great stay! Very friendly and understanding staff. Great stay for a couple of days.
