Room was great and spacious, breakfast was awesome! Staff was super friendly. We loved the location, much quieter than being by the train station. Plenty to do with museums and the canals being right there and lots of eating options. Be aware there is no elevator so pack light. The stairs are very steep.

The breakfast was an additional cost but the food was very good and the staff was very accommodating for whatever you wanted to order. There is a free happy hour for hotel guests every day from 4-6 with wine, beer, soda and snacks. The staff was very easily available, kind, and helpful. Would absolutely stay here again if I were to return to the city.

This place worked well for us because we mostly used our room to sleep then were out all day. However, it is very small and many things are outdated. The complimentary happy hour was a huge bonus.

We loved the hotel and the complimentary happy hour was delightful. Our only concern was the steep staircases since we were on the top floor. We left our heavy suitcases for storage in reception and carried up only our backpacks with enough for one night. I would strongly recommend that and the staff were very helpful with storing our heavy luggage.

Location was great. Workers were wonderful. Breakfast was OK. The room is the smallest room I have ever seen. You can’t even get into bed from the side. You have to crawl into bed from the bottom. The best part was the happy hour from 4 to 6 every day!

The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming throughout our stay. Breakfast was absolutely amazing and a great way to start each day. I was especially grateful for their honesty and care—after accidentally leaving my jewelry in the safe, they promptly shipped it back to me, which I truly appreciated. The downstairs bedroom featured a drop-in tub that was perfect for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing. The location was also very convenient, just a short walk to a metro stop, making it easy to get around. Overall, a wonderful experience!
