"Almost perfect location! Few minutes from Amsterdam Centraal and next to multiple tram lines. Great and helpful staff. Comfortable room with good sized bathroom. The only thing I would add is a place or platform to put my luggage so it can be opened off the floor (maybe modifying the built-in desk or removing the desk drawer unit). Would definitely stay here again!"

Negatives would be poor lighting, not much shelf space in the bathroom, not the easiest AC to navigate (instructions at check in would be helpful), and 33 Euros for breakfast seems pretty high (we opted out).
