The hotel has a perfect location, very close to everything you need, but the room had some issues with facilities.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although equipped with essentials, were cramped and could use some updating. I found it inconvenient that turning off the light also cut the power to the room entirely, including the air conditioning. On the bright side, the service was pleasant and helpful, with a complimentary breakfast offered. The location was a major selling point, providing easy access to various attractions and restaurants.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were disappointingly dirty despite requesting daily cleaning, and the bathroom windows facing the main road on the 2nd floor were not ideal. However, the beds were comfy, and the location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions and enjoying local restaurants. The hotel's small size and lack of hanging space for clothes were minor inconveniences, but the proximity to coffee shops was a plus.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The location was fantastic, just a couple of minutes' walk from all the local attractions and very close to the main train station. The service was pleasant and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. Unfortunately, the room experience was below average with the noise from flushing toilets and being close to the elevator. The dining options were good but a bit repetitive. Overall, a decent stay but with some room for improvement.

The hotel's rooms were excellent and well-decorated, offering a comfortable double bed. However, they appeared tired and in need of a freshening up, especially with a window looking out into nothing. The service provided was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The location was central, close to the train station, and surrounded by numerous attractions and amenities. The dining options were varied, although quality and selection left room for improvement.

The hotel offers small but functional rooms, clean and well-equipped with basic necessities, making it suitable for a short visit. However, the rooms are very small and dark, with only a small window facing a narrow interior area. The service was a mix of pleasant and rude experiences, with some unusual practices like taking security money upfront. The location is superb, near the main streets, providing easy access to shops and attractions, although some areas showed signs of wear. Dining options were satisfactory with nice choices offered. Facilities were adequate overall.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On the positive side, it was small but excellent value for being centrally located, just a short walk from all Amsterdam's attractions.
