10/10 Exceptional

Perfect short stay
Good location with tram stop just nearby. Upbeat decor, easy tech in the room. Staff were polite and welcoming. Good choice at breakfast. Bed matresses were very soft - may suit you but may not. Great to have ability to leave luggage after check-out whilst still exploring. I would suggest that management move the reception desk as it would be so easy for a guest to fall/step backwards off the steps that are directly in front of the table.

30th birthday celebrations
Great stay. Girlfriends 30th birthday and I asked them to put some balloons and a banner in for when we arrived back after a day out that I’d bought over with me and they happily obliged. Very friendly and also constantly crispy bacon in the morning😂 would recommend

10/10 Exceptional

Nice place, very close to everything. Walking distance to the Central Station, the Dam, and many points of interest. It's also surrounded by multiple stores and restaurants. The room was enough for what we needed, it was spacious and clean.

Trendy hotel in a great location. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the hotel is walkable to everything. We had our son, under 1 years old, with us and a cot was available for him. Our family will stay here again when visiting Amsterdam next.

Walkable, chic.
Very walkable. Adorable, chic boutique hotel. Typical European room size SUPER small. Good breakfast spread and drinks available 24/7. NOT handicap accessible. It does have elevators/lift but you need to go down a half flight of stairs to access it. Otherwise, I would recommend.
Janet, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a very beautiful and well located hotel. We had a layover in Amsterdam and spent the night here. Walked everywhere while we were here. Check in process was quick aMs smooth. The staff provided restaurant recommendations and were very pleasant throughout our stay. Triple room was spacious with upgraded amenities. When we return to Amsterdam for a full trip, we will definitely stay here again.
