Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had pros like providing everything needed in the rooms with clean bathrooms and warm bedrooms, but the cons included tiny rooms with uncomfortable beds. The service was friendly and polite, but drop-off location was inconvenient. The location was great for Rembrandt Square, but in a louder area. Dining options were not clear given the price paid. On-site facilities seemed basic.
The hotel is a bit simple but worth it for the lower rate compared to others nearby. The service was outstanding with staff going above and beyond, even leaving birthday treats in the room. The location is fantastic, close to all the main attractions and surrounded by lovely cafes. The dining experience was average, with extra charges for water bottles, and the facilities were satisfactory.
I found the hotel's location fantastic, just a short walk away from the best spots in Old Amsterdam, and surrounded by cafes and 'coffee shops. ' The rooms were on the small side but served well for a comfortable sleep. The service was lovely, with friendly and accommodating staff. However, there was occasional noise from the entrance and reception door. Despite these minor inconveniences, I would definitely consider staying here again.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room had a fan, which helped cool it down, but the noise from the sliding door made it hard to sleep, especially at night. Unfortunately, the room wasn't ready at 2 pm as expected.
The hotel rooms were immaculate and had most of what you need, though they were right above the noisy main entrance, which was not ideal. The service was friendly and welcoming, but there was a mix-up with requesting payment. The location was excellent, close to the city center but comfortably far enough from the Red Light District, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience lacked clarity on pricing and included amenities despite authentic dishes. Overall, a great stay with some minor inconveniences.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were comfortable, well-heated, and had a nice bathroom, but they were far too small with no storage room for suitcases. The service was excellent overall, with extremely friendly staff who were very helpful. The hotel's location was very convenient, easy to access different areas, but a bit of a walk from the central train station. The dining experience was satisfactory, though having to pay for water bottles after the first 2 was a drawback. The facilities were decent, but not outstanding.
