Super neighborhood and excellent location

We stayed 2 nights here with family , it’s in a nice neighborhood . Lot of food options around, the Albert’s super store is just around the corner. Buy a day tram pass if you are in the city for atleast a single day, it’s worth it. The city/amsterdam central is just 10 minutes by tram. Wander through the streets and get lost in the city. The night views and food options are fantabulous. Sorry we were there just 2 nights, should have stayed more.

Mediocre at best

So so hotel. Very beautiful from the outside and in a great location. Unfortunately, the hotel is dated and needs a good clean. Carpets etc are just old. Elevator is slow and seems to have a mind of its own. Staff were fine. Neither rude nor friendly. Bed was not uncomfortable but there was a divot and you could tell was worn from use. Bathroom is poorly laid out with the shower directly spraying water into the toilet area which will inevitably get everything wet. Room isn’t tiny - plenty of space and includes a closet. No usb outlets etc. pretty basic interior.

We booked our stay via expedia which had 2 options a small double room or a standard double room. One showing pictures with a balcony one without, after seeing the pictures we decided to go for the one with the balcony. We paid 15 euro for an hour early check it to arrive back at the hotel for other guests to be checking in for free. Then when we arrived at our room to our disappintment it was a tiny room with no balcony. We went back to the check in desk and asked the receptionist if there had been some mistake, to her response she said everything was as it should be and not all rooms can have a balcony. Advising again this is what we paid for she responsed with "what do you want me to do about it". Not a great customer response after hours of travelling to get to Amsterdam. Nevertheless our towels were changed everyday and is a great location with a tram stop only 4 minutes away.

Great location, not so great hotel

The hotel is in a great location - 5 minutes to the museums, 2 minutes to shops and juice bars and 15 minute cycle or tram to the centre. The hotel itself is pretty basic. It is largely self service, albeit it is staffed. Most staff don’t really seem that interested. We asked for a thicker duvet for 2 days and were told it was on its way - it did not arrive. The rooms were tired and worn with evidence of damage that had been poorly repaired. The bathroom was poorly laid out, meaning it largely flooded each time we took a shower. The walls are paper thin, the beds uncomfortable and despite the location, it really is an over priced budget hotel. Probably ok for somewhere to rest off a night on the town, but not great for families or travellers looking for a decent place to stay.
