The hotel is in a good location opposite the Hermitage Museum. You have free access to the gardens and coffee shop in the garden, which was lovely as we had sunny weather. We were able to walk to the flower market and plenty of bars and restaurants. You are just a 5 minute walk away from the metro, 2 stops from Central Station. The tram was a longer walk because renovations were being carried out on the bridge. We, 3 friends had the triple room on the second floor overlooking the canal and Museum. It was just a base for us, to explore the Museums, it was clean and reasonably spacious. The shower room was a bit snug but no problem for us. I would recommend this hotel if you don't have mobility problems, there is no lift and with all 16th century properties in Amsterdam the staircase is steep and quite narrow. All in all, for us it was perfect, we would stay here again.
