I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Upon walking into the lobby you immediately think to yourself "This place is going to be tacky, old and dirty", and then when you walk into your room, you realize it is decorated exceptionally well, as the place is very nice.

Here are my pros and cons:

PROS:
-modern decor
- very soft beds with plenty of pillows and blankets
- nice lighting
- quiet (I cannot hear anyone around me)
- minibar
- plenty of storage space
- flat panel tv
-friendly service (concierge is very helpful with luggage and recommendations around the city)


CONS:
- room shows extensive wear and has banged up walls
- odd "art" in the room (painted arrow above the bed?)
- room is a little cramped/has a narrow entrance
- breakfast buffet is 17.00
- no free wireless in room (but there IS free ethernet, but you must sit at the desk to use)
- bathtub didnt drain well - must be clogged

Overall I was very impressed. It just needs a few coats of paint, free wireless in the rooms, and a cheaper breakfast, and it would be just about perfect in my eyes.

We stayed here for a total of 4 nights. The location was excellent. It was not located in the middle of the overcrowded, cheesier, dirtier areas. It felt a little quieter and secluded. However we only had to walk 1/2 a block to feel like we were in the middle of everything.
The staff was extremely nice and helpful, answering our questions, accommodating our requests as best they could.
The concierge was EXTREMELY helpful with everything, from recommending excellent, non-touristy, restaurants with amazing food, to helping book tours or events.
The rooms were small but very clean. The bathroom was very modern with a really nice shower and water pressure. Everything was new.
Flat screen tv (although only 1 or 2 channels had english, but we watched soccer mostly).
The hotel was what we needed for the trip and judging is one of the better ones for the price.
Make sure to bring an alarm clock or a phone with an alarm as there are no alarm clocks in the room. You can get wake up calls though.
There is free internet access at kiosks in the lobby as well as free printing which was a big plus.
I honestly can't think of a better location. It was on a beautiful street (front entrance), accessible (within a half block of trams, rembrandt square, restaurants), but quiet enough to sleep at night.
Negatives: small rooms, no iron, no alarm clock, restuarant is expensive.
Would definitely stay here again!

I stayed here for two nights with my boyfriend. We booked it, partly based on the reviews on Tripadvisor, but we were slightly disappointed. The hotel itself is fine, the staff are friendly, it's clean etc. The rooms are very modern. it's a bit like an airport hotel, however, very identikit. We booked it off klm.com and got a good price, 260 euro for two nights. Our first night we had a bit of a problem as our bed was actually two single beds pushed together, which I found pointless and annoying. We were exhausted from travelling and had unpacked so we just left it like that but requested a double bed for the next night, which was no problem (however we had the hasle of repacking etc the next morning which we could have done without).

The location is very "central" but it was pretty tacky. A bit like Leicester Square, lots of tacky bars, "cafes" and dodgy looking clubs. Five minutes walk away you are in the Southern canal belt, however and it is easy to access all parts of Amsterdam from Rembrandtsquare. If I was coming back to Amsterdam, in order to soak up the atmosphere of a place, I will stay in an old style hotel (a canal house) somewhere in the southern or western canal belt - definitely wouldn't return here, although there was nothing definitively "wrong" with it, just lacked style and atmosphere.

Was taken here for a surprise weekend away. Room was a good size with modern, clean decor, well-laid out bathroom maximising limited space. Comfy bed and limited noise from other rooms.

If you're a light sleeper ask for a room on the canal side. We had a room on the tram side and while initially worried about potential noise we didn't actually hear a thing sleeping for about 12 hours each night.

Didn't bother with breakfast at the hotel (continental 9 euros at the bar, 17.50 euros in the restaurant) as found some fantastic cafes just down Utrechtsestraat (head south from Rembrandt plein) - would recommend the one with a wooden painted sign of a pink spotted teacup - great coffee and fantastic bagels served by friendly staff.

Easy to walk anywhere in central Amsterdam from the hotel - the tram will take you to Central Station in about 7 minutes but it's only about a 15-20minute walk.

If you're on a budget this probably isn't the place to stay but if you're looking for a good quality hotel in central Amsterdam then this is a good choice.
