Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a fantastic garden view, but the bathroom was particularly tiny. The rooms offered a great view and had a private bathroom. The service during the night shift was excellent, and the housekeeping was top-notch. The location was just in the city center, close to shops and nightlife. The dining experience included delicious tapas. However, the price was on the higher side for the value provided.

The hotel offers a comfortable stay with a great view from the rooms and exceptional service. However, the shared bathroom may not suit everyone. The location is fantastic for exploring Amsterdam, but the dining options could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location was convenient, being in the Center of Amsterdam with easy access to all places of interest and close to the Rijksmuseum and restaurants. The rooms were average, with a 1960's portable TV that didn't work, and the cleanliness could have been better. The service, especially during the night shift and from housekeeping, was satisfactory. The dining experience, with included meals, offered the best meat options. However, the facilities were somewhat lacking.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right in the center of Amsterdam and just in front of the canal. The rooms were cozy with a big window facing the beautiful backyard and the shared bathroom was always clean. The service, especially during the night shift, was exceptional, and the housekeeping staff made sure everything was perfect. The dining experience was a delight with included tasty fries. The facilities were top-notch, adding great value to the stay.
The hotel has a great location in the center of Amsterdam, making it very convenient to explore the city. The rooms with a garden view were not as clean as expected, and the TV didn't work properly. The price was reasonable, but there were some issues with the cleanliness and amenities.
