This is a very charming boutique hotel. The building is 400 500 years old and beautiful. There is no AC and the elevator only goes up to 2nd floor. We had a medium sized luggage that was a little challenging to drag up. The hotel provided fans. Just know these facts before booking. Very good hotel and short walks to foods.

I was so disappointed with this stay. The person at the front was not friendly and hospitable. When we were having an issue with the vending machine which was in front of them they did not even say anything to assist. As soon as you walked into the hotel we noticed it was incredibly hot. There was no AC in any part of the hotel including the rooms. We were so incredibly hot. The only thing that was available were portable fans. Also the lighting in the hotel room was so unappealing that we kept the lights off the whole time. This was just such a disappointment.

Caro e ruim
Caro para o que oferece. Quarto ruim, sem ar. Quente e mal arejado. Além’ disso a escada de acesso é horrorosa. Principalmente para quem tem mobilidade reduzida ou crianças. O elevador só vai até o segundo andar. A única coisa boa é o atendimento da equipe.

Great little spot for a city break
Such a great hotel, the friendly staff (Khan especially) really did everything to make it a wonderful stay! My room was upgraded and had a fantastic view over the river. Really great facilities in the room plus free hot drinks in the lobby with the books and sitting areas were a great addition (you can bring a book to leave and take one which is really cool). The location is about 15 mins from the main train station so great for getting about and felt very safe wandering around in the evenings. Just a note that there is a lift, but only to the 2nd floor so if you're on the 3rd floor there's a steep staircase, not an issue for me but might be important for other people. There's also a few steps up to the front door.

NOWHERE says maximum 1 person per room / $$$ lost
Seeking refund. I went to hotel very late at night with my girlfriend after booking online. Then we checked in, paid city tax to hotel, got the whole introduction and room key etc. and then the guy asked how many people. After all that… I said 2, he said you both can’t stay here due to X regulations. And then we did a 5 minute back and forth dance of talk where it seemed like he was still trying to give the key card and “turn a blind eye” or something. Shady and made her uncomfortable, unsafe, hence I decided for leave and travel several hours back to Rotterdam in the middle of the night to stay with friends there in lieu or paying $300-500 for a typical room in Amsterdam. Solution, clearly state MAXIMUM 1 PERSON PER ROOM IN THIS HOTEL.

Would stay here again
Close to Central station yet in a pretty quiet area. Breakfast buffet is optional. Staff is friendly. I was surprised there was no option for people to be more eco-friendly and not have the towels replaced every day. Not a complaint, just a suggestion that it could be an option. Steep stairs in room could be hard on some. Good price for location.

I was able to walk everywhere I wanted to go in 30 minutes or less. They offer a very nice breakfast in the morning. The amenities of the hotel are laughable. The elevator is "manual." You will need an explanation on how to call it and how to operate it. It's ridiculous. Even with the elevator, I had to haul my large suitcase up another staircase without help. (The afternoon/early evening desk clerk was the least helpful). The room was too small to be able to keep a suitcase open, and there was no place to unpack some belongings. There were no shower amenities other than a soap dispenser on the wall (my gym is more accommodating). There was also no shelf to put your own toiletries on. I was told housekeeping leaves at 3, so when I returned to my room and found the cups dirty and asked for clean ones, the answer was just, "No." You will need to shop outside the hotel for basic requirements like a bottle of water to have in your room. The bed was very uncomfortable. I got up with a stiff back every morning, and I noticed there was a 2 inch cheap foam mattress topper on the mattress. I hate to think what the mattress was like without it! I paid 200 euro /night for that stay. They required I pay in advance. I can see why. I would have left immediately on arrival if I could have. What a disaster.
