Wow, we were definitely surprised when we arrived at this hotel, and not in a good way. My husband and about 6 of his colleagues were all booked in this hotel for 6 nights for the IBC show. Upon arriving, my husband was appalled by the standard room they were going to provide us with, and quickly requested an upgrade.... more

Pros: Walking distance to Central Station Most comfortable beds ever-- beds suck you in Business center Friendly helpful staff Quiet Good price (we booked months in advance so we got internet special rate) Cons: No free wireless in room more

I didn't like Amsterdam but this hotel did make my stay comfortable. The rooms are clean and air conditioned. The TV does have BBC 1 & BBC 2. The reception staff were helpful. The food and bar prices were on the high side but there are plenty of other places to eat in the local vicinity. I travelled by train... more

Got a great rate at this hotel through booking a flight and hotel package with Expedia quite far in advance - the whole trip worked out at about £250 per person, although when we got to the hotel their rates board advertised rooms for £300 per night so we definitely got a good deal!

It took a little while to get the shower head working which as you could imagine... more

Knew I'd be passing through so booked this on line back in May. Not one to spend a lot of time hanging around the hotel but location wise this is the best you could possibly hope for. Hotel is fine, room very clean with good air con. Staff very friendly and spent time looking for a power adaptor for me... more
