Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel room was relatively clean, although it was small and located at the back, making it unbearably hot, leading us to open a window and get bitten by mosquitoes. However, the room was well thought out. The service was very helpful and the staff were lovely folks. The location was fantastic, especially for those who love the De Pijp area of Amsterdam, with easy access to museums and public transportation. The dining options had enough variation and included freshly made breads and pastries. Facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and overlooked the street. The service was helpful and friendly, especially the staff member with his English humor. The location was perfect, close to tram stops and within walking distance of the center. However, there was a minor issue with a mouse scurrying about. The dining experience was excellent, with a quick serving of mint-green tea with eggs and bacon. The facilities were convenient, making my stay enjoyable.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms, though a bit small, were still comfortable for a good night's sleep. The baby powder-like carpet cleaner was a new experience for me as I'm not usually sensitive to such scents. The service was ideal for a short break, and the hotel's location was perfect, not too far from the center but still conveniently close to major attractions. The dining experience offered a good choice of breakfast options. Overall, a nice hotel with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel is situated in a lovely area close to De Pijp in Amsterdam, which is perfect for those who prefer a quieter location. The rooms had all the required amenities, but the noise from the street and above made sleep challenging at times. The breakfast smell from the kitchen could be a bit overwhelming during the mornings.
The quad room at the hotel was great, with a good-sized and clean bathroom. I wished they had blackout blinds as I was woken up early. It would have been perfect if I could keep my travel documents secure while out exploring.
