Great location.
There was only one key to the room and it was kept at the front desk... which was a huge inconvenience. construction directly below us was a nuisance.Anonymous

Very central location.The stairs in the hotel are very narrow and steep which made it difficult for transporting luggage - we were on the 4th floor, 8 flights of stairs.Sirava

We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and found the staff really friendly, we arrived four hours early for checkin and they arranged to look after our bags and managed to check us in for 12 not two. they also remembered us and our room number after only meeting once and were very polite and helpful. our room was on the fourth floor of the hotel, it is a very busy street and was close to everything we needed and being so high up i am pleased to say we didn't hear any noise from the nightlife out side.The only two negative things i can think of is that there was no lift (a bit of a trek when you have been out all day lol) and that the hotel didn't accept travellers cheques as a form of payment so i had to pay a low exchange rate in britain and commission in amsterdam to change them back over again.

The hotel is located in an excellent location - central to everything - dam square, central station, all the museums and loads of cafes and restaurants. the staff are lovely and very professional. clean, compact rooms that were very quiet (we were at the back of the hotel) and inexpensive for amsterdam.The breakfast is very basic but fresh - not heaps to eat though. there is no lift and the stairs are quite steep but none of us (all under 60) found it a problem even with heavy bags.Anonymous

(1) receptionists were polite and responsive. (2) breakfast was delivered to the room exactly on time each morning. (3) good quality of towels provided(1) it was obvious even in the corridor that some people had been smoking in some of the rooms. (2) spare toilet roll was not automatically refilled for 2nd day of stay.Hines

Clean, nice enough room. good tv. some of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.A little pricey, a little noisy and lots of stairs. however, you're gonna get this anywhere in central amsterdam. the shower wasn't the best, a bit on the cold side. however, all in all it was a comfy and pleasant enough stay.
