Detailed Reviews
Well located in the centre of Amsterdam, this hotel is easy access from the central train station and all major tourist locations in the city.
Well presented and warm, front desk
Staff were friendly and helpful. Onsite laundry is great.
Access to our room was difficult with luggage being down winding stairs with no lift. It was a tight fit for four of us with a very small bathroom.
Room was neat and mostly clean. Lack of a window was not an issue, and there was no problem with external sound. Floor could have been mopped prior to our arrival.
The breakfast at the pub next door is very average but will do if it’s easier for you than heading out.
Would recommend .

We arrived March 4-6, 2020.
My mom and husband so we slept at a room with 3 beds was very small but Ok.
Not far from anything, The restaurant served to the next door by Mollys Pub was fine and complete. Smell a little bit at cigarette in the hallways.
They don't have parking spot but you have a choice to park at Parking Centrum Oosterdok per day $20Euros. Everything was very good. A lot of option for restaurant near the hotel.

5 minutes walk from Amsterdam Central station, right in the centre of the tourist district . Really good location if you arrive via Eurostar. Excellent for a 1st time visit in Amsterdam , would prefer a quieter location for a return visit.
Hotel is clean , and rooms very basic. It says bed and breakfast , but breakfast is terrible . Its not made onsite and is ordered in . Nowhere to really sit either. A couple of prepacked budget snacks and tokens for a coffee machine , that is just not drinkable. Forget about breakfast and go eat somewhere else, totally not worth asking about food here.
Plus side, the staff are very friendly and helpful.
This hotel is in a great location to do all the regular tourist things, but other districts have a much more authentic Dutch feel than the tourist spots.

Apart from location this hotel has very little going for it. It is considered three stars but I would give it one! The room was very basic and the bathroom wasn’t enough to swing a cat! If you are a weighty person then I don’t think you would make it to the toilet. We booked through bookings dot com and thought we had paid the nearly 662€ for four nights accommodation but when we arrived we were told we had to pay an extra 75€ for city taxes. My only conclusion is buyer beware!

Terrible experience!
We came for check in after 6pm 11.11.22
It’s was Friday! Evening! Reception worker refused check in us, official reason - we were with CHILD 8 Y.O.
• “Rate displayed is per night, per room. Each room is guaranteed to fit 2 people. Extra guests are at the hotel’s discretion and may be subject to additional fees.”
That’s the hotel reservation rules.
We stayed in Amsterdam in the 4 different hotels, before we were in Barcelona, Milan and NYC. Always same way booking. Everywhere we had positive experience. Only here we were “kicked out”
We asked talk to manager, but worker refused call him!
We tried book another hotel but as I pointed out above, it was Friday evening, all hotels around were booked and I am sure worker knew it very good!
While I was looking for another hotel the child got fear of being left on the street which led to the failure of a series of negative consequences.

Stayed here in December for my boyfriends birthday. Booked a deluxe double room which was clean and had plenty of space for the both of us. Location was absolutely perfect, close to everything, couldn’t have asked for a better location. Housekeeping kept our rooms clean. Room at the front of the hotel was quiet at night and staff were very friendly. Clean towels provided daily and space to leave our luggage before we caught our flight, would return here on my next trip to Amsterdam.

We were family of three adults we stayed for two nights in a room with no windows rather like a storage room on the ground floor. There was no option to upgrade as the hotel was fully booked. The location is great and staff were friendly but we couldn’t get over the storage room nor the fact that we had sometimes to keep the door open to ensure we have a refreshed air cycle

Great place, 10 min walk to Amsterdam Centraal station (we arrived with Euro star).
Firstly, staff is extremely polite and helpful with 24 hours reception on duty. Hotel and room was very clean.
On this occasion we did not have breakfast included and I don’t think that they actually did offer this facility (I can only guess due to staff shortages). Having said that, at a 2 min walking distance there are many places where one can have great Bfst. One can also walk back to the train station too. On that note, Amsterdam Centraal station is amazing. By the water, has few shopping passage’s, chemist, small supermarket ( with freshly prepared baguette’s on site) croissants and other stuff one may need. Plus many food outlets ( Starbucks, Wagamama …. Etc).
Hotel it self is also very much so centrally located with just a walking distance (along the small canal’s ) many many small cafe’s, bars, cocktail bars, ample shops and huge variety off restaurants , as well as canal boat tours just around the corner.

Pro’s
The location is very good being in the middle of the town centre, close to a lot of tourist attractions and places to eat ect.
The check in staff were very welcoming and nice and there was a vending machine in case we needed water or snacks.
Con’s
Our hotel felt a bit claustrophobic at times due to the fact our windows opened out to brick walls so we had no views and couldn’t see the weather.
No kettle.
Our room was also very warm with little to no air-con.

Easy to find hotel in great location and the sheets were clean….that’s the good….we paid extra for a comfort twin room with a window, we had a window and the view was of the window opposite about 2 metres away…so we couldn’t open the shabby curtains because there was no blind so the opposite people could see straight in….we couldn’t see what the weather was doing it was rather gloomy……the shower did work ok but was stained and not in great condition…the kettle in the room didn’t work….our room was next to the stairs …which are made of wood and metal and seemed to bang and vibrate when in use….which made sleeping a little tricky….we booked with euro star and paid for breakfast which said is in the Irish pub next door……no…your given a token fir the coffee machine in the foyer and a bag with some very sub standard food in it…after seeing what another couple got we didn’t bother to order it, we ate in nearby cafes…..please do not think this hotel looks like the photos it really doesn’t…no brightly coloured soft furnishings and the carpet in the hallways were very stained ……I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you intend to be out of your scull on mushrooms or booze then it really won’t matter..
