10/10 Exceptional

Super cool vibes here, excellent amenities and service. Great location and quiet too. We stayed on the blue floor room 61 & 62 and the rooms were great! Note: the shower is ‘in’ the room. It is frosted glass but opens right into the room which is a bit of a nuisance when travelling with friends, but we worked with it. We would totally stay here again and recommend it.

Cool hotel in the center of Amsterdam

Very nice hotel in the center of Amsterdam. Walking distance to the Central station and to the big shopping streets. The room was clean, spacious and with a cool interior. Nice breakfast and very nice with the free drinks and snacks when you come back in the afternoon. The staff were very helpful.

Kelsey, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was very hesitant to stay in a 3 star hotel, but this is one of the BEST hotels I’ve been to, and it’s because of their staff, they go above and beyond to make sure you have all that you need and are super accommodating. Hotel is simplistic but everything works, breakfast is good, super centric to everything and literally 10 minutes walk from the train station.
adrian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fin oplevelse. Beliggenheden er rigtig god. Rigtig venligt personale. Rigtigt god servic med køleskab og kaffemaskine på værelset. Dog lugtede kloakken en del på badeværelset. Der står i beskrivelsen af hotellet, at der er restaurant, men det er der ikke og det var et minus, da det havde været et krav til vores hotelvalg.
Inge Lise Hessellund, 4-night trip

Facing a dodo street but very convenient to everything we wanted to see in Amsterdam. Friendly staff, spotless facilities and room. Great shower! Would stay again.
Andrew, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place to stay.

The staff were very kind, the hotel was in a good location close to many tourist attractions. The breakfast was nice too. Everything was great except the fact that our tv didn’t work at all. It was quite late at night and we had only a one day’s stay so we didn’t mind and not complain about it.
