Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great with easy access to attractions, but the rooms were small, especially on the top floor with steep stairs. Service was friendly, with detailed tips on the area, but some issues were faced alone. The dining was good with a variety of choices, though the Angus beef was just okay.

The room was located in the basement next to the communal toilet, very small with limited space. The top-floor location with steep stairs was challenging, especially with luggage.

The location was good for us, a stroll away from Dam Square and close to the Heineken factory and various dining options. It was ideal being on the edge of the main center with a convenient reach to attractions.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the tram station and perfect for accessing all sightseeing requirements, either by trams or walking. The rooms are small and noisy but of good size, although they have small windows with no sunlight. The service provided by the friendly staff, especially Mohammed, was exceptional and very helpful.

The hotel is close to the tram station, making it convenient for exploring Amsterdam. However, it's next to a loud external door that regularly slams.

The facilities are sufficient for a comfortable stay, but the hotel being way too small for the number of rooms available can be a downside.

Staying at this hotel was a cozy and convenient experience. The rooms, despite being in the basement next to the communal toilet, were surprisingly comfy and spotless, with a fantastic shower that had plenty of hot water. Having tea and coffee facilities in the room was just what I needed after a hectic day. The front side location made it easy to move around, even with our luggage.

The service here was top-notch. The reception staff were all very friendly and helpful, especially when explaining the best places to go for nightlife and restaurants. They even gave a thorough explanation of the tram facilities. However, there was one receptionist who stood out for being incredibly friendly and helpful.

The location of this hotel was just right for us. It was a short walk from the Heineken factory and lots of bars and restaurants, making it convenient to explore. The easy access to trams and the quick walk to local bars and restaurants were definite highlights. However, there weren't many places to eat locally.

The dining options were great, with a diverse selection that really got us prepped for the day. The breakfast was fresh with lots of hot and cold selections served every morning. However, there was a lack of choice in the food options available.

The hotel is in a nice location near the Albertcuyp market, offering a chance to explore Amsterdam authentically. The rooms can get quite hot but have a clean bathroom, though they are on the small side. The service is friendly and attentive, with thoughtful gestures to make up for any inconvenience. The dining options are limited, but breakfast is adequate. Overall, a decent value for experiencing a genuine Amsterdam atmosphere.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location was superb, close to the center and with easy access to shops and restaurants. The rooms were relatively spacious, though the narrow hallways and elevator were a bit tight, and the heating issue was a downside on a cold night. The service was excellent, with a very welcoming and professional staff. The dining experience offered a great selection of fresh and local products. Overall, a good value for the price paid.
