The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful during our stay. The location is great, with many shops and restaurants nearby, which made it very convenient.
Excellent location, beautiful room with canal view. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice breakfast. Free drinks for 2 hours a day was amazing! Some areas of the hotel look like they could use a lick of paint, mainly the stairs, but didnt affect our stay negatively at all
We had a wonderful stay. Pilar was excellent—very kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our visit. The hotel is perfectly located, making it very convenient to explore the area. They also offer a fabulous complimentary cocktail hour, which was a lovely touch, and the room was very comfortable.
My only complaint was that the room was quite warm. The air conditioning was not working, although they did provide two fans that we had to use during our stay.
Other than that, everything was excellent and we truly enjoyed our time there.
A little bit further out from the centre, so it is less hectic. 3 min walk from tram4 stop and 10 min walk to Rijksmuseum.
No getting away from the stairs so no use if you struggle as these are typical canal house - very steep & narrow.
Room clean & large.
If you book 1 of the suites , ask for canal side
The room was very cozy, clean and the staff so friendly and helpful. Stunning view to the canal and the bathroom was very spacious and enjoyable. It was a little challenging to go all the way up using the stairs. The steps were very narrow and the room was on a third floor, there is no elevator. It was manageable. I had a pleasant experience.
Hotel was clean and tidy and in a good position in the city. Breakfast was very nice. The staff were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. Overall, very pleased with the stay at the hotel. One small issue was a broken toilet seat which was reported on Sunday but not fixed before we left on Wednesday.
The duvet had a cover that kept slipping off at night and it was covered in stains. Coffee stains, period or some random blood stains, and some yellowish ones. On the second night when the duvet cover slipped off we asked for a new one and just used that one but it was pretty gross. Other than that everyone was wonderful the staff was great and there was a cute orange cat. The view and location was also wonderful just the stains and the cleanliness was not good.
Room set up well, very clean with enough room to store our clothes. Decent coffeemaker. Wonderful view of canal with small balcony to sit out. Staff were excellent! Very helpful in assisting with our luggage up and down the stairs and providing good info on restaurants and nearby activities. Enjoyed breakfast and happy hour! Good location for walking to places
The room with the canal view is amazing, main highlight from the stay. The room was big and the bathroom was clean. The staff was incredibly nice and supportive during our stay.
I was fortunate enough to spend my 60th birthday in Amsterdam.. the staff were sweet in helping me celebrate with a bottle of delicious kava and very nice birthday card.
The room was clean, breakfast amazing and so nice to taste what good coffee is like, coming from the US I have forgotten! Staff are friendly and very helpful. Will definitely be staying there again if we get back to Amsterdam.
Sad to leave!
It was an excellent stay for the week I was there. Staff was friendly, room was always cleaned and prepared after a long day. Near the metro and tram stops which was very helpful and things to do around the hotel was walking distance!
We enjoyed a beautiful view of the canal. Our room was spacious for 3 people and the bathroom was quite large. We didn't mind walking up the stairs. The staff were amazing and always available to help us. The lounge offered drinks and snacks from 4-6 that made our stay enjoyable. I would highly recommend staying here.
