What a delightful little place! The staff was lovely, the breakfast was amazing – yes I now love cumin in my cheese! And the location to downtown Amsterdam was perfect. Amenities were everything they said. Rooms were nice simple and clean. And they even have the cutest little elevator I’ve ever seen. We will definitely be going back!

The place is so well localized you can walk to all the must places. The staff was always friendly. Do not expect a modern place, the room is kind of old but was so suitable for our trip to Amsterdam.

It was very comfortable. The only thing is that you need to give your room card to the front desk every time you get out of the hotel. Which I think is weird.

The biggest negative other than having no ac is that for aome reason, yiu have to guve yiur room ke to the front desk every time you leave. I hated having to wait several minutes while holding food for the clerk to checke people in . It's annoying, if it wasn't for that it would have been way better.
