Reviews and Ratings
I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms, which were spotlessly clean and even had a safe for belongings, although a bit small as we booked the exchange room - no high expectations there. The slight musky smell was easily remedied by leaving the window open for fresh air.
The hotel rooms are smaller than expected and somewhat worn for the price, but a Dyson fan helps with cooling. The service is friendly overall, with a minor issue of credit card data theft. The location is superb, centrally located with easy access to major tourist spots. Dining options are limited, but a nearby café suffices. Overall, a mixed experience with some setbacks but a great location.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was excellent, being minutes away from Central Train Station and Dam Square, the room overlooking the road was a disaster and not what I expected. However, it was very quiet at night, making for a peaceful stay. The service was a bit shaky; despite some really good staff, there was an incident complaint that didn’t receive the friendliest response. The dining options were poor, lacking variety for different tastes, but the adjacent cafe was a comfortable spot with excellent staff. Overall, it's a cool place in the center of Amsterdam with a mixed bag of experiences.
The hotel's rooms were quirky with a separate shower room and bathroom. However, the initial inaccessibility due to a large storage container blocking the view was a downside. The location is brilliant, right in the heart of central Amsterdam.
I was pleasantly surprised by this 3-star hotel, which felt more like a basic 3-star accommodation. The rooms were clean and well equipped, offering unexpected amenities like a Dyson fan for warm nights and a nicely appointed bathroom with all the essentials including a kettle, cups, blow dryer, bathrobes, good mattress, pillows, TV, window in the bathroom, and large windows with a view.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was perfect for exploring the city, and the room was surprisingly quiet despite the central location. However, it did get very cold, especially in December. The adjacent cafe was a delightful independent spot.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The themed rooms added a fun touch, but the actual custom design was lacking, and we had to change rooms due to issues with the shower and sink drainage. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Amsterdam city center, but the dining options were somewhat limited with just a street-side cafe available.
The hotel has a unique design that adds a touch of interest. The rooms were lovely and clean but quite small with fabric covered walls. The service was extremely friendly and polite, making my stay pleasant. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the central train station and close to all the main attractions. The dining experience was decent with delicious options nearby. Overall, a cozy stay with some minor room size concerns.
The hotel offers rooms that are definitely within Amsterdam standard sizes, with a fab layout despite a smaller shower. The location is incredible, being so close to the train station, though some street noise may need to be accepted. Above a coffee shop excellent for breakfast, the dining experience is convenient with very comfortable amenities and excellent staff. The facilities are well-maintained and offer great value for money.
The hotel is a quirky and cozy place, super clean and warm, but the room size might not be for everyone. The service was kind and prepared, yet there could be some improvements in efficiency. The location is perfect for exploring the city but expect some noise if facing the street. The dining experience was tasty but slightly overpriced. Overall, a charming stay with minor drawbacks.
The hotel's location is outstanding, right by central station and the city, making it extremely convenient for exploring. The rooms, although slightly small and warm, are uniquely designed, lacking a full-size mirror. The service is friendly overall, with minor noise issues in the morning. The dining options, while limited, include their own street-side cafe. The facilities are satisfactory, with a street-side cafe, but the Wi-Fi could be better.
The hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms in a great location near landmarks and close to the Red light district and Cafés. The dining experience is satisfying but gets crowded during breakfast hours. The staff provides excellent service with a willingness to assist guests.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were lovely, very quiet when sleeping, and towels replaced daily. Each room was big and unique in its own way. The staff provided friendly service overall, but some lacked in helpfulness. The location was ideal, close to the railway station and with a very comfortable bed. The dining experience was amazing, with freshly pressed Orange juice, croissants, cake, and coffee. The facilities were well-equipped, making my stay even more enjoyable.
The hotel had lighter rooms than I am used to and could be noisy if facing the main street. The room size was small and not very exciting, and there was excessive fake lighting. Other guests disturbed our stay at various times during the night. The lack of cupboard space or a kettle was inconvenient.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room was cozy and provided a great night's sleep on a very comfortable bed and pillows. The lady assisting me was exceptionally helpful and always had a smile, although the decor being entirely covered in fabric was a bit dusty and impractical. The overall cleanliness and unique design made up for it, offering a pleasant atmosphere.
