Air conditioning was advertised but not actually available. rather than admit the truth, they told one lie after another. and the rooms are very small. the bed was not up to the standard of a $400 per night hotel.Anonymous

Forgot to request no smoking when booking but did send follow up emails. initially got put in a smoking room but when we asked to move this was done without a problem. room and bed were of good size and all clean and comfortable. very well located right on dam square within walking distance of station and all main attractions. didn't eat in hotel. staff all seemed very nice.Rooms seemed a bit boring and boxy and nothing to single them out but all functional.Anonymous

It is easy to get to and located in a very good place for seeing amsterdam.The resturant service was probably the worst part. they are very slow at attending to customers and even slower after the initial contact. Anonymous
