Many guests appreciate the hotel's prime location, finding it within easy walking distance of major attractions and close to Amsterdam Central Station.

the location was great (right by the canal).

i booked a 'small double room' but it felt ridiculously tiny. also, the steep stairs were a real pain with luggage and i could hear everything happening outside, even deliveries at 2 am. the windows offered zero soundproofing.

Adequate Stay, Some Issues

helpful staffconvenient locationsmall roomhard bed

The staff were quite helpful . They answered questions I had about local attractions and directions. The location was convenient. Many sites were within a reasonable walking distance. The hotel overlooked a beautiful canal. The view was something I certainly enjoyed each day.

My room was smaller than I expected based on the photos I saw. The bed was quite hard, which affected my sleep quality. There was no air conditioning. The windows did not open fully to allow fresh air.

the location was really great! it was quiet, though still close to cafes, restaurants and markets. i loved the views from the room. the walking distance to everything was also a plus.

My room was a bit small. it had a gigantic window on the ceiling that didn't close or have a curtain. This made it very bright early. i also had to ask for the room to be cleaned because they don't clean it every day.
