The property is undergoing construction on part of the interior and the entire exterior. Stayed in room facing inner court so did not hear construction noise. So ask for inner court room. The rooms are fine, we reserved two rooms of same category and one was quite a bit larger than the other one. The elevators are confusing and depending on what floor you are staying on you might be better off just taking stairs if you physically can, since not all elevators stop on all floors and you find yourself wandering to get to your elevator. There was a hiccup with breakfast being included as it only showed for one room. Then when they added the cost to the second room we had to have that removed from bill as we decided not to eat breakfast. The buffet is a joke and at 24 euros a person I expect better - no fresh squeezed juice and scrambled eggs were definitely not fresh eggs - I do t even want to know. Cappuccino machine was good but the coffee offered in the room not very good. As for the city tax, it would be nice if hotel was clear at time of check in how much the additional cost would be so you don’t get another surprise after check out.

The restaurant at the hotel was beautiful and the service was wonderful. The hotel itself was going through renovations which was not stated during booking, so most of it was closed off. The room was just ok but the bathroom was not very clean. The room had a nice, large terrace which was facing the main street. So a little noise is expected, but I guess for some reason the fountain that is in front is a popular hang out for young adults that are extremely loud. They were making screaming noises, singing and basically having a lot of fun till early morning. Unfortunately it will keep you up or wake you up duri g the night. Also we stayed for a week and this was a nightly thing. So if you are a light sleeper you may have issues. On the other hand the locatio. Is very convenient. There are many trams at your disposal. Overall it wasn't awful but I would not go out of my way to recommend it.

Great, except for the construction

This was a great hotel in a great location. The only issue was that there is construction of the lobby taking place, meaning there is scaffolding/construction going on (including men outside our window around 9:30am one day), which was annoying, but had no real impact to our stay. The cleanliness, service, comfort etc were all fine, and I'd be more than happy to stay there again.

We had not been informed at the point of booking that the hotel was being refurbished. I spent extra to have a Deluxe room with balcony. The balcony door was locked when we arrived and the desk were surprised we wanted access to it. When the door was unlocked we could see why. The balcony was not accessible due to scaffolding boards over it and scaffolding and mesh obscuring any view. I asked the reception to be moved but was told they could not. Although we were offered breakfast on one night of our stay. I do not think this was ample compensation for the disappointment of the room. The nespresso machine did not work and when I asked for it to be replaced it was removed but not replaced. I had paid double what I could have done elsewhere for a bit of luxury but this hotel was not that.

On arrival, we were directed to the check in terminal and told to scan QR code, despite us advising the two members of staff at reception that we hadn’t received this code. He still tried to get us to check in via the terminal before he finally agreed to check us in at the reception desk. Having read some reviews about the hotel whilst travelling, we discovered that the bathroom door was glass, which was a concern to us due to privacy issues etc. We queried this with the receptionist and was advised it was not possible to see in the bathroom. This was not the case and the toilet was right next to the door and was in clear view of the bed, which faced directly onto the bathroom. This was very unpleasant and caused a disturbance during the night as the whole room was lit up when using the toilet. The room itself was very dusty and there were hairs in the shower on arrival. The experience was very disappointing and we expected better from a 4 star hotel, having used a budget hotel in Amsterdam previously.
