Generally, the hotel is very small and has dirty/smelly carpet. hot shower and hair dryer in the room were broken. no repair/replacement throughout my 5 days stay in that hotel. not recommended.

Great location, tram just around the corner. very helpful reception staff. smooth check-in, convenient check-out.
- lock on front door was difficult to open - coffee/tea making didn't have milk, wasn't re-stocked before our arrival. - shared toilet was dirty & lock jammed on two occasions. - our shower (which cost extra) didn't drain well and you had to hold the nozzle in your hand at all times. - heating was unbearably hot upon arrival, took hours to cool down (as the windows don't open). - walls were very thin, we could hear everyone (particularly some other visitors' drunken singing & staggering up the steep stairs throughout the night).

Our contact with the staff of the hotel, via telephone or in person, was very pleasant, personable and friendly. the accommodations were as advertised and we found no surprises. rooms were clean, with clean linen and bedding, and the toilet and shower were small, but tidy and clean. the location is very near a major tram line, and getting to the central station is possible without a transfer. it's also favorably located for those who don't mind walking and want to see the museumsplein district and the less touristy areas inside the centrum. we found many very good restaurants within five minutes distance and all manner and assortment of shops. the location is also relatively quiet because of its primarily residential location.
Inside smoking, which will be banned on 1 july, 2008, was a minor annoyance, but tolerable. the wall in room 8 had painted over graffiti that was still showing through, something probably recent. the stairs are as advertised: steep, so be careful going up and down.

The surrounding, with the canal just beside and the center of amsterdam very close
The website told us that 3 rooms shared a toilet but on the 3. and 4. floor 6 rooms shared only one toilet - missing toiletpaper ! we didn,t have the room we were promised and i can proove that by mails from the hotel. we had a much smaller room than a twin basic room as we payed for. they didn't tell us that our room was on the 4th floor, we were promised 1st floor, until the day befor arrival.
