A lovely room in a quiet area off the beaten track but lots of amenities nearby, on the tram route and walkable to main sites. Room was well equipped and nicely decorated, bed was very comfy. Staff were welcoming and friendly. We were on the top floor and the stairs are very steep but ok if you don’t have any mobility issues.

Love this property. The room is cozy and cute. It is so close to the metro so you can easily go anywhere. The only downside is they don't have elevator so if you have big luggages, that might be an issue.

Excellent stay here. We were on the top floor and navigating the narrow staircase was a bit difficult, but good exercise. The free happy hour was wonderful and gave us the opportunity to meet new friends. It was a 10-30 minute walk to everything we wanted to see and the staff were amazing.

Staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a great location to get to everything either walking or the Metro was super close. The hotel was a little older and everything was clean especially linen and towels but just needed a little updating …

This hotel needed to be cleaned. The floors were filthy. The blinds on the window would not close and to use the air conditioning the window needed to be left open. It was hot. It was a windy 3 flight climb up to my unit with zero assistance.

Great location and great staff! I know other hotel rooms lacked air conditioning but our room was comfortable and very clean. The hotel had complimentary happy hour too. One thing to note is that the bathroom area is all glass if privacy is of any concern. Overall, wonderful stay.

No AC, average place to stay
Our check-in experience was good. The location is awesome, walking distance to quite a bit of stuff. It's close to two train stops, the Rijksmuseum, the Heineken museum. We are Americans from the south so the whole not having any A.C. in the summer was pretty brutal during our stay. The AC didn't work, so we had to have fans running around the clock and have our windows open the entire time and it was still probably 78 degrees in our unit. The shower was not easy to use. They say there's a bar but no one ever works it so that isnt really a bar. The front desk people were very helpful, allowed us a later check-out time and also held our bags which was nice. Our stay was fine, but definitely not great. Amsterdam was amazing though.

Staff was very nice. Was in safe part of Amsterdam. The room was a tad confusing the fan plugged in would only work with lights on so I moved it. Floor ac unit did not work at all the room was very warm, the wall unit was broken, tv also didn’t work unless all lights were on so I didn’t use it. Comfortable and spacious very very quiet with window wide open on the cool nights in Amsterdam in July thankfully!
