“This boutique hotel struck me as a place that balances Amsterdam's historic charm with modern design, particularly its artistic interior touches by Claes Iversen. Location is a plus, with proximity to Vondelpark and easy access to public transport, however some rooms might fall short of expectations. The complimentary breakfast and spacious bathrooms stand out as highlights, suggesting a focus on essential comforts, even if the experience can be uneven.”
