The staff was super helpful. Unfortunately that is the only positive aspect of our stay. The rooms are very outdated and in need of repair. The breakfast was poor. This was more of a 2-star hotel and not worth the price at all. Very disappointing.

Hotel was the perfect location for our family as we wanted to be away from the hectic main part of the city and near the Park. We were a street away from a major bike rental company and enjoyed cycling through the streets of Amsterdam. It was so convenient to hop on the local trams to take us back to Central Train station. Very satisfied with the hotel location and friendly staff. Thank you!

Great location, beautiful street and cute old building that’s been renovated. Some of the rooms are very small (had to hunch over in the shower). No air conditioning and we happened to be there in a heat wave. They do have fans on the wall. Breakfast was great.

The staff is amazing there. Alperen who works in the front is awesome. You can ask him many different questions about tourism there and he will tell you where to go. He even helped us find a chocolate store there that locals know about. This place is super clean and there are so many public transportation within a 5 minute walk.

Staff was friendly, and offered accommodating luggage storage. Room was a bit weird, had a light switch right behind my pillow on the bed so if I moved wrong I'd turn the lights on while trying to go to sleep. Nice location though, esp if you are going for the museums.

Hotel room was cramped, muggy and hot. There were chips in the paint. Rust on the towel warmer. Grout in the shower was dirty. Shower did not drain properly. Room smelled heavily of perfume. Tried to change rooms but none were available. Had a terrible sleep - woke up with blood shot eyes and decided to check out. Was told manager would follow up, has not. Had to book an alternate hotel for remainder of our stay in Amsterdam.

I couldn't rate this hotel high enough! Even from before we landed, I received an email from the hotel letting me know if I had any questions which was well received given there were going to be train strikes when we landed. They suggested a bus transfer which was actually much more convenient as it stopped at the top of the street! Hotel is week placed in a quiet area but literally 5 mins from beautiful eateries and shops. Staff were fantastic, nothing was ever too much bother. There were facilities for holding your luggage and free tea and coffee in the very clean and pleasant reception. I have already recommended this hotel to others and will definitely be starting here if we come back.
