Fantastic staff, great location.
Centrally located hotel with amazing staff. A special shout-out to Chiara in reception being very accommodating and service-minded at all times. I booked a quite small room, but it was quite comfortable and it had everything I needed. Excellent bathroom. But like so many other Dutch properties in Amsterdam, the stairs are basically vertical, so be aware of this when you book. But they do have a small elevator as well if needed. I don't eat breakfast so the fact that the hotel didn't offer one wasn't an issue for me. A great stay and I'd be more than happy to stay there again.

Great place. Quiet despite being in a major city. Friendly staff. The receptionist was happy to lend me an iron and an adapter for electronics. Smallish but good rooms. It's nice to stay in a hotel that isn't part of one of those international chains.

Really enjoyed my stay here! It’s located in a quiet area, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. Everything was super clean and recently renovated, giving it a fresh and comfortable vibe. The staff were really nice and helpful throughout my stay. And as a lovely touch, they even gave me a little gift at checkout. Such a thoughtful gesture! Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely small hotel in quiet neighborhood near public transport and museums Very clean. Our double bed room was spacious enough and beds were comfortable. The only issue for us was the steps into our building, which was not easy for those with any mobility issues. We would highly recommend this property

Location is great. Close to museums, art galleries, restaurants, transportation.
Rooms way too small.
Lack of amenities. Ie. No fridge, ice or air conditioning.
Charges for all extras including coffee.
Decent shower but only hand soap and shampoo, nothing more.
Reception staff was helpful regarding local dining locations and tram operations.
Room rates are comparable to other higher end properties on our European holiday.
