A room in the heart of Leiden
This is a room on Hogewoerd, right in the middle of Leiden's historic centre. The listing did not state an energy label, so the rest of this page focuses on the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home itself. At €1,022 per month, the rent sat well below the average for the area, which made sense for a room rather than a full house. For context, rooms in Leiden give you a sense of what to expect in the city. This home has not been online since 2 November 2026.
