I found the hotel to be conveniently located, close to all the main attractions but still maintaining a quiet ambiance. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though some aspects like the tired bathroom were noticeable. While the service was helpful and accommodating, a little more friendliness wouldn't hurt. The dining options were decent, offering a genuine local experience, but with room for improvement. Overall, a good value for the money with great potential.

The hotel was a good fit for a young college student like me, with slightly cramped rooms but still clean and offering a nice atmosphere. The service was helpful, particularly with directions and storing luggage, though it could be more polite at times. The location was very convenient within walking distance of many places. The dining options were sufficient but not outstanding. Overall, a decent choice if you're looking for a clean and budget-friendly stay.

The hotel has very modern, neat, and clean rooms with only 1 card key; however, they were promised to be adjacent as the hotel does not have connecting rooms. The service staff are quite grumpy and not so friendly, but the lady who worked the evening shift until 11 pm was nice and helpful. The location is convenient, being central and easy to access Dam Square by walking, despite the fact that the hotel was right in the center. The dining experience exceeds expectations, with fresh, healthy dishes; however, there was not much variety and the quality of the products was basic. The pool area is well-maintained and enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious for three with very comfy beds, but the cleanliness left much to be desired, and the multiple stairs to reach the room were a hassle. The service was friendly overall, but there were instances of rough handling of luggage. The location, however, was excellent, right in the heart of Amsterdam. The dining options were varied and plentiful, although I only had breakfast there once during my stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The romantic view over the neighborhood from the room was lovely, but dealing with a lack of cleanliness and an unpleasant odor made it quite stressful, especially with a 2-year-old in tow.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. From ensuring a spotless and spacious room to offering free tea and coffee, they made sure everything was taken care of. However, one staff member slammed the truck against our suitcases to save a few euros, which was a bit off-putting.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable, just a short walk to Dam square and conveniently close to the tram line. The bathroom was so nice and huge. However, the service could use a bit more friendliness, but the great location and value for money make up for it. The breakfast was brilliant with a perfect selection, though the dining options were somewhat limited. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Amsterdam.

My stay at the hotel was mixed. On the positive side, the location was fantastic, right near Dam Square and the royal palace, making it super convenient to explore the city. However, the room cleanliness left much to be desired, and the pictures didn't match reality. The service was friendly and helpful overall, but there was an unpleasant incident with the luggage. The dining options were sufficient, but nothing special.

The hotel has a central location, just 3 minutes away from Dam square, making it ideal for exploring the city. The rooms are nicely appointed with comfortable beds, although the absence of slippers was a minor downside.
