Great location where you can walk to the museum district around 5 to 10 mins and to the metro around 3 mins, clean room, friendly staffs and safe for sole trip. You may hear the noise from next room in the early morning, however it’s not a problem for the stay.

Loved this place - pricey for a solo traveller. I wish I had taken advantage of the highlights in the area. Would recommend to friends and family. No breakfast option was totally fine .. did not realize I could store things in their refrigerator if I decided to eat something light in. Too much to see and do in Amsterdam - would come back. Thank you
