Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is superb at the center of the Centrum, making it perfect for sightseeing and easy access to everything you need. While the rooms had basic necessities, they could have been a bit larger. The service was excellent for the price, but there were instances where the staff seemed annoyed, especially when I shared feedback. The dining experience, although good, could cost more than expected with limited variety. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory with room for improvement.
The hotel location is basically unbeatable, right in the middle of everything you could need in Amsterdam. The rooms aren't very soundproof, but the size is slightly bigger than expected. The service was great overall, except for one receptionist. The dining experience offered a variety of options, including tasty egg Benedicts. The facilities were good too, making the stay quite enjoyable.
I absolutely loved the place despite the room lacking natural light and facing a tiny courtyard. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and courteous, making it feel like a family-run hotel. The location was spot on, perfect for sightseeing, but some unpleasant conditions made me reconsider staying again. The dining was nice though a bit expensive.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were very compact for two people, but they were always nicely made up when we returned. However, considering the high price of €329 per night, the value for money wasn't great. On the bright side, the room was extremely nice and spacious, with a lovely comfortable bed and a nice balcony.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and checking in very early in the morning was incredibly convenient. The service was outstanding, with helpful staff assisting us throughout our stay. The location was perfect, right in the heart of downtown and within walking distance of everything. The dining experience was delightful with plentiful and delicious options. Overall, a great value for money choice.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, but the one overlooking the square was tiny, which made it challenging to move around. Initially given a room with a view of a brick wall, I had to request a change. The service was mostly nice, especially considering the surrounding hotels, but the refusal to help with a theft incident was disappointing. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Amsterdam with easy access to attractions. The dining options were decent, though a bit overpriced, and lacking variety. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.
The hotel is located right at the foot of Dam Square, making it super convenient for exploring Amsterdam. While the rooms were undergoing renovation and faced a brick wall, the service was friendly and accommodating. However, the dining experience at the hotel's Bistro fell short of expectations. Great location but with room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel had basic but clean rooms with incredibly comfortable beds. The service was lovely overall, with friendly and helpful staff, except for one receptionist. The location was fantastic, close to major tourist attractions. The dining experience was good, especially in the hotel restaurant. Overall, a decent stay for the price.
The hotel was just what I needed after a long day of traveling - clean, comfy rooms with friendly and helpful staff. Although the dining options were not exceptional, the overall experience was positive. The location was perfect for exploring the city with ease.
