The hotel provided a mixed experience with cozy rooms but some issues like the low ceiling in the basement location. The service was exceptional with a friendly and accommodating staff. The location was convenient and close to various attractions, making exploration easy. The dining options were limited but reasonable. Overall, it was a good stay with a few drawbacks that didn't hinder the overall positive impression.

The hotel location was outstanding, close to everything we wanted to see and do in Amsterdam. The rooms were smaller, making movement difficult, and some were run down and old with mold on the shower curtain. The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining experience was quite adequate and European in style. The location was very peaceful but within a few minutes' walk to major attractions and transportation links.

The hotel is in a lovely location, very close to museums and attractions, offering a safe and convenient stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a cozy atmosphere, though a bit tight with limited space around the bed. The friendly staff adds to the positive experience, offering good recommendations and a warm welcome. However, considering the size and facilities, the pricing could be seen as slightly higher.

The rooms faced out onto the secret garden area, clean, and very comfortable, perfect for a solo stay. The proximity of the toilet near the entrance was a bit odd with minimal space around the bed.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from all the action, but the room was disappointingly cramped and noisy. The service was a hit or miss, with some staff members being lovely while others lacked professionalism. The dining options were average, but the convenient location made up for it. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel has a full-length frosted glass window leading to the hotel garden, which made me a bit conscious using it. It could be a bit fancier considering the price. However, the rooms were in the basement, making it a bit uncomfortable and would've been claustrophobic for a longer stay.

The service needs to be more polite, as the staff was constantly sarcastic towards me and other females. However, they were very helpful with tourism booking, printing documents, and general questions. The staff's attitude significantly improved when we had to book an extra night due to a train strike.

The location is safe and comfortable, albeit smaller than expected. It worked well for us as it was within walking distance of the center and main sights, although the room size was a bit smaller than depicted in the pictures.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room had a very uncomfortable double bed and felt quite small, but I appreciated having a balcony and the exceptionally helpful and friendly staff. The service was courteous, professional, and extremely helpful. The hotel location was excellent, tucked away on a calm street while still being centrally located. The dining options were nice with a generous selection, but I wished there were more amenities in the rooms. Overall, it was a decent stay for the price.
