A nice breakfast, responsive staff
The air conditioner in the initial room was not working and they hadn't discovered it. they didn't think it didn't work and didn't send anyone to repair, but they changed our room, which was warm enough.

Staff were friendly and helpful when we needed to find a laundromat and a restaurant nearby. rooms were clean. breakfast was good.
My two children were expected to sleep together on a fold- out chair. we had specified the need for 4 beds but the hotel assumed the children would share a single bed. this was rectified by bringing in a folding bed but this should have been set up in the first place. the hotel was much further away from the centre of amsterdam than indicated on the website. the hotel is not really for young families as it is far from town and the restaurant is not appropriate for dinner for young children.

The staff were very helpful and polite. i requested a room with a view as an extra and the staff accommodated this.
The air conditioning broke down but the staff brought up a fan heater straight away. i therefore consider this to be excellent service as the staff cannot be blamed for mechanical faults but came up with a temporary solution until the air conditioning was fixed.

We were very close to the tram station, and it was very easy to get around. our room had one queen/double bed and three twin beds. it was very clean.
The hotel staff was not very helpful, however everyone in amsterdam spoke english and helped us along.

For a visitor it was easy to navigate from the hotel to the city center. the reception staff were very helpful in indicating which tram would be useful to get to our destination.
The room was very basic and not a lot of light in the room.it would have been nice to have a map on the website to show where the hotel is in relation to the main attractions ie dam square.
