I stayed here recently and found the location to be very convenient close to everything I needed. The room itself was quite small, but since I didn’t spend much time in it, it wasn’t a big issue. What really made up for it was how safe I felt during my stay and how genuinely friendly and welcoming the staff were. Overall, a good choice if you’re looking for a well-located, comfortable place with great service.

The property felt cozy and like a respite after a morning of travel. The front desk staff person welcomed us with a complimentary drink and assisted with booking a boat tour with a small discount. The room was comfortable (two twin beds) with a view of the canal. I appreciated the housekeeping service who provided new towels and made the beds. The location was walkable to everything we planned to see, and easily navigable to Centraal Station for train or tram service.

It was fine. I liked the location and the helpfulness of the staff, I didn’t like that the room was dark and had a tiny window - it was suffocating! I noise made from people at the bar - so loud. I

The location of this hotel is amazing! Super accessible from the central station, walking distance to the heart of the city but still in such a calm street that you get a break from the city chaos when you need it :) The staff were all absolutely so lovely and welcoming! The only downside would be our bathroom. We picked the bigger room but the bathroom itself was down a set of small stairs and the ceiling in the bathroom was super low. When showering, both me and my boyfriend had to duck our heads :D It was totally okay for a few days and the room otherwise was super lovely and clean. Just a bit tiny if you are above 170cm in height hehe

Second time of staying at this property and just as pleasant as I remembered. There is a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff at reception. The room I was allocated was immaculately clean and very comfortable with a nice ensuite equipped with a very efficient shower. Stairs are steep in the property but there is fair warning of that in the hotel details. The buffet style breakfast was fresh and with a good choice of items. The hotel is convenient for Centraal Station, only five minutes walk away and very easy to find. Surrounding streets were very littered which detracted from the pleasantness of the general neighbourhood but that is hardly the hotel's problem. It is also very convenient for visiting many of Amsterdam's attractions and only a short distance from shops and restaurants.
