“Staying here places you moments from Amsterdam's central station, ideal for travellers keen on exploring the city, and the inclusion of complimentary coffee and tea adds a welcoming touch. I noted the building's history as an 18th-century canal house, which gives it a unique atmosphere, though light sleepers might want to request a room away from the early morning activity. For those prioritizing location and character, this spot holds considerable appeal.”

Decent Location, Some Issues

small room difficult faucet
The room was kinda small, I won't lie. Space was tight, and I had to strategically place my luggage so I could, you know, move. The shower faucet gave me a hard time too. Operating it with soapy hands proved difficult. I found that annoying after a long day.

lack of air conditioning black mold
The bathroom was spacious, and the shower worked well.
The lack of air conditioning was a problem. Even in June, the room was uncomfortably warm, and the small fan provided was not sufficient. The black mold in the tile grout gave an unclean impression..
