the location has great access to the museum quarter. access to less tourist-oriented areas for eating was also good. vondelpark is a short walk away and well worth a visit.

the pillows were a bit uncomfortable. the rooms are rather small too. the price was incomprehensible for the room i had.

The hotel is near many restaurants and bars. it is also close to train stops. I found i could explore the city easily. the staff were amazing and the breakfast was also amazing.

The room i stayed in was quite dusty, and the carpet looked visibly dirty. It seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. basic toiletries were missing. I didn't find items like toothbrushes or toothpaste. check-in was late and check-out was early. I found these times inconvenient.
