I extended a business trip into a long weekend in Amsterdam and this was the perfect hotel. I appreciated the secure entry to my floor that required a key card. I am enjoying the quality of the coffee at breakfast staff especially around the dining area is very polite and extremely efficient. I had a great view of the river and the price wasn’t too expensive for my room. Ben was very comfortable and while the room doesn’t have all of the drawer space in closets like you might find in an American hotel similar size. . I had a great view of the river and the price wasn’t too expensive for my room. Ben was very comfortable and while the room doesn’t have all of the drawer space in closets like you might find in a American hotel similar size it is such a comfortable room from the air-conditioning to the bed to the hot shower that I really don’t have anything negative to say about my time there I loved how central it was an easy to get onto the trains trams and back to the airport. I would definitely stay here again.
Water pressure was good nice hot water comfortable size shower what more could you want?
