“This 19th-century building, in a fairly quiet neighbourhood, is near the University of Amsterdam Business School and a manageable walk from the city center. Rooms are well-equipped, and the breakfast spread impresses with its variety; the possibility of having a new room can be a blessing and the general manager seems remarkably accommodating. Though some past guests mention minor inconsistencies in the rooms, this pet-friendly hotel is a unique option, with self-service tech adding a modern touch.”

practical stay!

convenient locationnearby foodhelpful staffbird sanctuary
the location was convenient, close to transit and within walking distance of the city center. i liked there were many food options nearby as well. the staff were helpful, and the hotel and my room were clean upon arrival. the hotel is also across the street from a bird sanctuary with flamingos!
The bathroom setup was not very convenient. When seated on the toilet, the toilet seat would often fall against my back. there was also a large gap at the bottom of the bathroom door, reducing privacy.
