I stayed at this property for one night in April, 2013, and it was comfortable and well located. My room (#303) was very small and basic. Not much more than a bed, small flat screen TV, and a combination work space and dresser. Except for a hair on the bathroom sink, the room was clean and in good shape. This... More

I was disappointed with this hotel. The location is pretty good, just a 5-10 minute walk from the Central Station for all trains, buses, trams. The lobby is fine. The staircases up to the 3rd floor were incredibly small. I only had a backpack and it was tough getting up there. Must be very hard to carry a suitcase up... More

Just come back from a weekend in Amsterdam. I booked this hotel as I knew it was in an area I liked and wanted to go back. We arrived a lot earlier than check in time due to our early morning flight and room was ready for us to go straight into. Which was a great relief as we just... More

Small hotel like most hotels hosted in canal houses in Amsterdam. With a funny, kind of chic interior. So chic and also basic style just accordingly. Situated where Herengracht and Brouwersgracht meet, Very pleasant, quiet, and picturesque area a ten minutes walk or maybe less from Amsterdam Centraal. We had some trouble checking in but it was solved to our... More

4 nights spent in that place, well situated, in a quiet street, with a nice view on the Herengracht (Men Canal!). Honnestly nothing to say, desk people are nice, breakfast is basic but OK, penthouse room is so charming and the view too.

Pretty good for the price, but not as tidy or well kept as it was. Light fittings broken, mould in bathroom tile grout, damaged furniture, etc. But good coffee machine in lobby, friendly and secure atmosphere, and an excellent location.

More than basic, I'd say essential. Rooms are little and you need to to some steps to reach you room. But everything is good and efficient. Friendly staff, free WiFi connection, a basic breakfast and.... it's located realy close to downtown and 10min walk from central station. Maybe is not the cheapest one, but for some short staying it's an... More

I stayed here for a hen doo. The facilities are great, any time of day you can grab a coffee from the kitchen, make yourself some food or just sit in the lounge area. It is fairly noisy with other guests and the walls are pretty thin, but the area its in and the price are ideal
