My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. Although the rooms were not very cozy, with visible fluff and dust under the two beds pushed together, they were at least clean and comfortable. The noisy doors slamming from early morning were quite bothersome. On the bright side, the service I received was very helpful and courteous, especially from the polite cleaners. The location was very central, making it convenient to explore the area.

I stayed in the loft room which had some drawbacks like having to use the lift to the 3rd floor then walk up 3 sets of stairs. The room had a strange smell and a wet patch on the carpet. Additionally, the bells from the nearby church rang every 15 minutes starting at 8 am, which was quite disruptive. On the bright side, it was near the back street and the location was convenient for exploring Amsterdam.

I must say that my stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was excellent, being right in the heart of Amsterdam near various attractions, but the room I received was not the best due to being underground and having a persistent smell of weed. The service was top-notch, with lovely and helpful reception staff, though it seemed like not all staff members understood the essence of customer service. The dining experience had its highs and lows as well, with the staff happy to assist but the options being somewhat limited.

Waking up almost every hour due to the nearby church bell with no lift access was a bit inconvenient. Despite the tiny bath, the room was decently comfortable. The hotel service was kind and professional, though the unexpected room entry in the morning without knocking was not ideal. The location was fantastic, right in the center near the main train station, but the noise from nearby bars could be bothersome at night. The dining experience was a mix of good value and disappointment with the same selections daily. The hotel facilities were average.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, the location is amazing, making it easy to get around, especially because it's close to the central station.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great, very central between Central Station and Dam plaza. The service was lacking friendliness and helpfulness, but they did have tours and ticket assistance available. The room was small and cramped, had dead bugs and dust on the windowsill, and stains on the bedsheets, which forced me to change to another hotel and pay more. The dining options were not exceptional, and they required pre-payment for some items, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the hotel is close to various attractions and restaurants, making it convenient for exploring the city.
