“In my opinion, its focus on retro gaming creates a nostalgic and social atmosphere, unusual for Amsterdam. The location across from Sarphati Park is ideal, but light sleepers might want a room away from street noise. I think its commitment to being pet-friendly and having unique gaming events sets it apart.”

small roompoor ventilation
The room was small I must say. The bathroom had mold. The ventilation clearly struggled to keep up, as it was quite humid in there. A fan was the only option for cooling so the room got uncomfortably hot. The noise level was high and the bed seemed a tad small for two people all these factors definitely affected sleep quality.
