Very rude and unprofessional counter staff! Were misinformed by a night shift employee regarding check-out (employee said we could check out between 12 and 2 p.m. And at 11 a.m. there was aggressive banging at the door. We were chased out of the room at 11:39 a.m.). The next morning there was a bang on the door from the cleaning lady and then from the desk clerk. Were chased out of the room and then accused of lying about the information we received. 3 employees of which 1 laughs at the customer, the 2nd one said you claim that the colleague from the night shift gave this information and probably does so because you want to check out late and did not want to pay for it. Accusations that we were lying and preconceptions that we were doing it to save money. Another employee said I could get sick and that he would call the police. And that I should be happy that we didn't have to pay. I heard this with disbelief and anger. I am a person of integrity and I like justice. But here we have been treated like dirt. And no one reached out and said customer is probably telling the truth, let's apologize for the misrepresented information. And they have recordings of the incident that evening in which a colleague said this to us, but they did not want to play it in my presence and I know 100% that they will not apologize. This is not customer service!!

The hotel is perfectly located. It is in walking distance to everything. Good restaurants near by and so lovely to walk out to the canal every morning. The rooms are nice as well. I appreciate that they have coffee and tea available in the lobby as well as water.

Careless and irresponsible with guests' belongings. Of course, the standard rule is hotels are "not responsible" for checked items, but I simply left a raincoat in their care for 48 hours and returned with my ticket, only to find it was inexplicably lost and they were "investigating the matter." It's been over 8 days with no sign from them. The raincoat, not only a necessary and expensive item, was a sentimental piece which cannot be replaced. It would have been understandable if they sincerely apologized, but instead they have chosen to ghost me via email and not take accountability that either it was stolen or given to someone else (it is rainy season in AMS)-- framing it instead as some complicated investigation they must conduct as if some great mystery instead of just owning up to the fact that they were careless and do not care enough about customer's entrusted items!

Service was great when we checked in but our room wasn’t cleaned. The day after, the bed was made as if made by a child and bathroom towels stayed on the floor and not cleaned. When we checked out we were not helped with our luggage when the young man in the lobby clearly saw us having a hard time with it.

Very small rooms, out of 4 days of stay, the room was only made up once. Upon arrival the room was already dusty and with stained sheets, the only plus is the location

The hotel is situated in an excellent location, very central and easy walking distance to many sites. On the flip side the photos on the website are very deceiving. The hotel is very much in need of a tidy up. …

Not sure what warrants all the negative reviews here. We booked the top floor apartment for a one night stay with our 2 kids. Great welcome at reception, fantastic room with amazing views. Stairs were a little tricky with luggage, but the receptionist helped up the stairs, and we were warned in advance of the lack of lift and the steep stairs, so no problems there.Location is excellent, close to centre of the city, but not too close so even during early August it was quiet and peaceful.Dan

This hotel was our final stay during our three week vacation with our three children in Europe. On the second last day, someone accessed our room and our safe and stole 3000+ dollars of jewelry. A police report was made, but the hotel management has been very unhelpful. This hotel claims to be four stars and yet has none of the other four-star expectations: concierge, room service, etc. The cleanliness left much to be desired, and there was a rancid smell from the showerthat permeated all of our bedrooms in the basement which was dank. On the second morning after our arrival, there was no toilet paper. We were told that a shipment was coming and they gave us a small box of tissues. My husband ran across the street to the store to get our own, again not what you expect for four stars. To add insult to injury, the hotel report of our burglary had the times and dates wrong to cover their tracks. They have a record of a master key being used twice, but maintain that we were on the premises when one was used, which is completely accurate. I’m not sure if the Dutch police have time to investigate incidences like this as obviously more major crimes take precedent, but it was deeply unsettling to have to sleep in the hotel for one more night before our flight knowing that someone had access to the room. My youngest daughter was scared. In a similar review, we only discovered after our stay another guest also reported a robbery a month prior. They too state they could not get into the safe with their code and had to call maintenance in to reset it after which point they noticed a large sum of cash stolen. Our safe code also stopped working and maintenance needed to be brought in. I would strongly recommend to avoid this hotel at all costs, not just because of the theft, but because it was so subpar compared to everywhere else we stayed. Essentially, we spent $800 a night only to be robbed. The hotel offered zero compensation for our troubles. It was the worst hotel experience of my life, hands-down.

The location is great, the room fine. However, we had such a negative experience with a front desk agent we can’t recommend the place. We were given a room just outside the reception area and did not complain about the noise day or night ( you can hear everyone up early and coming in late so light sleepers should avoid this place). Then, we ordered takeaway, it arrived 20 minutes early, so my daughter decided to go out and be ready for the delivery and was yelled at and given attitude by the bald, male receptionist with glasses who was upset because he didn’t know which room it was for (which is why she went out to get it early) this is doubly frustrating because we have not complained at all despite our being woken up every night and morning. Also, our phone number, name and the expected delivery time was on the receipt. So, lack of basic communication skills by staff is not reason to yell at a child, in fact there is no reason in my book. Not sure what the personal issues of staff may be but definitely soured our already poor experience with the hotel.
