A great hotel, in a great position. Located in the south of the city, near a metro station (for links to the rail network and the airport) and near the market. The more touristy/central area is around a 15-20 minute walk. We plan to visit the city again and will definitely look to stay at this hotel again.

The room was clean, staff friendly and very helpful. Room was hot as fan did not have heavy air flow. We unplugged the fridge it helped remove heat source. Used the dehumidifier it put out hot air but more cool then hot and opened window but loud outside. We would stay here again but ask to stay on first floor. Spiral staircase wears tough with luggage.

The staff is the glue of this property. They made our stay extremely pleasant and enjoyable, thank you! Honest review is that hotel needs renovation. The property is very run down. Not the cleanest and the cherry on top is the paper thin walls. Unless you like listening to other guests walking around, talk and others, sure. Unfortunately this hotel is not for me.

Name says it all

Charming well-priced property located in two townhouses that back directly on a canal, in an exceptionally lovely neighborhood close to the metro and Rjiksmuseum. Rooms on the back facing the canal feel as though they could be in the country (others feel much more urban). Look for the wonderful two room suites. Happy Hour is a great touch and is free. However continental breakfast, which isn’t, is rather skimpy. This feels more like a guest house than a fancy hotel. There are no elevators. And some bathrooms have frosted glass walls which might not work for everybody.

I like how it is conveniently located close to the Van Gogh museum, the Heineken experience and the boat tour that we signed up for. All other tourist spots are 1-2 train stops away. Room is clean and has the essentials. Will book this hotel on our next visit.

Interesting property and we did enjoy our stay for the most part. The thing I didnt like is that we were given a room in the basement next to the breakfast area. It faced the street and was very noisy at night. I also didn't love the whole glassed in shower and toilet area, no privacy st all in there.

The room is so tiny. The air conditioner is not strong enough to cool the room down. The electric fan that was provided was so dusty. The bathroom counter is dirty upon arrival and stained. Also, it was not stated on the website that the stairs are so steep and unfortunately, we were put on the third floor which makes it very difficult for us to go up and down each day. I requested to be transfered to the first floor and we were told they were going to follow with us the next day, but there was no follow up.

Two days before our checkin the hotel notified me that there was no elevator. It was too late for me to find other accommodations as I was already away. The stairs are narrow and steep, with very small risers. They were hard to negotiate with a suitcase. The hallway and stairs in the hotel needed a good vacuuming. Upon entering the room, the curtains were partially torn from the window and hanging down. The bathroom is about 30 inches from one side of the bed. The wall and door of the bathroom are glass, the door slides. The glass is only partially opaque. Any noise/odors emanating from the bathroom are heard/smelled in the bedroom. The bathroom door came off its runner and my husband fixed it. There is a full length mirror only in the shower. The sink basin is chipped. The opaque part of the walls do not cover the entire shower area. Although it was cold outside the room was sweltering. We had the fan on the entire time we were there. I could not tell if the heat was on or not, we turned the system off. We were told there was no A/C. There was always grit on the floor, even after I complained.

The location was very good,the bed comfortable ,the staff were quite nice and the breakfast buffet was very good . However my room was in poor condition with light fittings hanging off the walls and the table about to collapse when touched. It was looked like it hadn’t had a coat of paint or a ‘deep clean ‘ in many years. As it was the last room available when I booked, perhaps the other rooms were in better condition. The carpets in the communal areas would also benefit from a thorough clean.
