Reviews and Ratings
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 had a good, clean, and fresh room with double beds and working heating, making it comfortable. However, the room had mold in various places that seemed to be hidden with detergent. It was convenient to rent a bike from the hotel for easy access to the city.
My stay at the hotel was great value for a trip to Amsterdam. The room, although on the ground floor, was very big, full of light, clean, and the service was perfect with everyone being so friendly and kind. However, it was a bit cold, and the windows didn't open for ventilation.
