“The Exlibris makes a virtue of its location in Leiden's historic Pieters district, a stone's throw from museums. I found the idea of a boutique experience here more appealing than the execution, based on some reports. Still, the electric fireplace and wine bar sound like a welcome respite after a day of sightseeing.”
