The hotel is clean and has good size beds, but the rooms are a bit small. The service was friendly but the issue with pillows was not promptly resolved. The location is somewhat convenient but may feel far from the city center for some. The dining is not included in the room rate but worth the price.

The hotel offers spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms with nice amenities, but some noise issues required a room change at an extra cost. The service was excellent, characterized by very friendly and helpful staff, especially the canteen reception guy who made us feel warmly welcomed. The location was convenient for accessing the city center via a nearby tram stop, but some found it far and lacking the true Amsterdam spirit. The dining options varied greatly from great and valuable to being horrible in terms of quality and cleanliness. Overall, the hotel provides a mix of positive and negative experiences for guests.
