We spent 5 nights here 2 at the start of our trip ( 3 weeks in Italy & France) and 3 nights at the end and we loved it. First, the staff! What a great staff, all of which were so helpful and friendly but especially Fatima who helped us with some special request including holding a bag for us until we returned at the end of our trip. Fatima was always so friendly greeting us as we came and went and it was her and her coworkers that we decided to return. The next best part of the hotel is the location, it's in a quite area but so close to train and bus stations that you can get anywhere in the city within 10-15 minutes on the tram. There are a few local restaurants and bars on the same street as the hotel or you can take less than a 5 minute walk and you have tons of options and a very lively area with people around late into the night. The hotel had a great modern vibe and the bar had great morning coffee. As for the room we had 2 different experiences, both good but here's the breakdown: Our 1st room was a standard double and was pretty small basically the bed, a small table and a nice size bathroom but no mini bar and coming across a cold dink in Amsterdam can be a challenge. The bed was comfortable and the shower was nice with a large rainfall style shower head. The second room we had was a comfort double witch was bigger but the bed in this room was not that great, it was memory foam pad on top of some box springs and was very hot even in the cold evenings I was trying to find ways to cool off. I would give it a 10/10 but I have to knock down a point for the last bed being so uncomfortable and lack of a mini bar. We have a direct flight from our home airport to Amsterdam and this will be our hotel of choice every time we stay over in Amsterdam.

We had an amazing stay. Going for the suite was for us the best option and have ample space. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. The location is near enough to all things but far enough to give a sense of peace.The building is unique and I believe may have been a saw mill, something with wood. The building in areas is worn, overlook it as it’s just perfect. Accept the pillows and two single beds being pulled together in the suite was disappointing.Amsterdam is a diverse amazing place. Watch out for the cyclists.

Really impressed with the reception team who were always welcoming and friendly. We asked for recommendations for food and they had a print out available, but also added extra personal recommendations to suit our taste. …

Great central location with friendly service. The whole hotel is a little outdated but clean. The wallpaper falling off the elevator wasn't the best look. Our room was on the smaller size for the price. No major amenities aside from a cafe in the lobby.
