convenient City location

friendly staff comfortable bed

The staff were very friendly and helpful. My room had adequate space and the bed was comfortable. The location allowed easy access to transportation.

The shower design caused significant water spillage in the bathroom. This made the floor quite slippery after showering. I found this inconvenient.

the room was clean and cosy. The bed was super comfy, also it was huge. A balcony room provided views, overlooking part of a CANAL.

Location

The location is near tram and bus services. The hotel is near restaurants. Leidseplein is a short walk. Dam square is about 20 minutes.

Facilities

8/10

The hotel had an elevator, however, it caused some noise. There was no coffee machine, soap, or shampoo in the room. Plenty of toiletpaper were provided.

Dining

8/10

I did not use dining facilities at the hotel itself. The surrounding area has several restaurants within a short walk. This made finding food very easy.
