Great location and accommodating staff. A bit unclear what the setup with breakfast is and this was not explained, and lots of good local places to eat. There were steep stairs inside and the lift was then out of action during my staff. (of course, a feature of many similar buildings and not the fault of the property)

In the heart of old Amsterdam! Very clean hotel. We had breakfast included and the breakfast was excellent. The breakfast room was kept immaculately clean. Staff were all very friendly. Easy to walk to many major attractions in the city and close to the Amsterdam Centraal railway station.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great value hotel, basement room for one was small but had plenty of useful features (fridge, electric kettle, tea, Bluetooth speaker) and a very comfortable bed. Very clean as well and quiet at night. My only gripe with the room was that the window had a crack and I didn’t dare to open it and therefore it was a bit warm. But that is probably going to be fixed someday in the near future. Breakfast was included in the price and had everything I needed. Amsterdam Centraal is only a 5-10 minutes walk away, as well as many points of interest in the centrum. I stayed here for the Dutch GP which is perfectly accessible from this hotel via public transport in about 60 minutes door to door.
