We were there only for one night before a cruise but it was a perfect place to stay. It was in a safe, clean area and a good price. The young woman working at the desk was a trainee and she was lovely; very friendly and gave us some good suggestions. We liked the room which was clean and just the right size for us. If we return to Amsterdam, we would most likely stay there again.
