Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is nicely located with views to the outside streets, making it nice to sit and watch all go by. The rooms had tiny windows and no canal view, but the balcony overlooking some trees was a plus. The noise from other guests returning or leaving in the middle of the night was an issue, making it less enjoyable at times.
The hotel had some noise issues overnight, possibly from street activities and kitchen work, along with some cleanliness concerns, but offered convenient snack access. The service was top-notch, especially from Raisa and the Concierge team, providing great assistance and advice. The location was excellent, close to major attractions and with a lovely canal view from the balcony. The dining experience was average, with diverse breakfast options but nothing exceptional. Overall, the hotel offers a range of facilities and is priced reasonably.
The hotel was a mix of old-fashioned European charm with modern amenities. The rooms were very comfortable, featuring a little balcony and glass on the floor initially but equipped with everything you would want from a Nespresso coffee machine to a heated bathroom floor. The service was top-notch, going above and beyond to accommodate our requests. The location was prime, right in the Theatre district, near the Rijks museum, and convenient for exploring the city center. The dining experience, although with limited variety, was satisfying, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel exuded old-time elegance charm and provided a central location for easy exploration, with tram stops right outside and numerous dining options nearby. The rooms, though slightly dark due to scaffoldings initially, were eventually cleaned well. The service was friendly and accommodating overall, offering a comfortable stay with minor lapses in attentiveness. The dining experience featured a Dutch-style breakfast and freshly prepared dishes. A mix of positives and slight inconveniences added to the stay's unique character.
My stay at the hotel was amazing! The room was really nice with a balcony offering great views, even though it felt a bit disconnected from its art deco design after the renovation five years ago. The service was top-notch, always very gentle and caring, and I loved the pre-ordered meal at the beautiful American Cafe. The location couldn't have been better, with trams to downtown right in front of the hotel and so many attractions within walking distance. The dining experience was delightful, especially in the Cafe American. However, being a bit noisy at times and relatively expensive were minor downsides.
Upon arrival, the room was not up to par with our past stays and lacked proper insulation, resulting in a noisy morning due to sounds from other rooms. However, the staff was exceptionally welcoming and provided top-notch service throughout our stay. The location is ideal for exploring Amsterdam, despite the need for some updates. Overall, a mixed experience with notable strengths and areas that could be improved.
I couldn't have asked for a better location, right in the heart of everything with amazing dining options within walking distance. The rooms were spotlessly clean and cozy, though the noise from ongoing work was a bit of a downside. The service was top-notch from check-in to dining, making my stay truly welcoming and convenient.
The hotel offers a mix of modern comfort in the rooms with an elegant old-time charm in the communal areas. However, some noise disturbances affected our stay. The location is convenient, close to key attractions, but showing signs of wear and tear.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms, although the view of the AC units down the access hallway for the band playing below was not ideal. The service was a mixed bag, with some exceptionally friendly and helpful staff while others were less so. The location was outstanding, offering a nice and quiet setting near the local square with outdoor dining options, though the noise from the tram on the street side was a downside. The dining experience was delightful but a bit pricey, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel's rooms, despite being stylish and comfortable, had noise issues from water drainage above, and the narrow design could be felt at times. The ideal location for attending gigs and exploring Amsterdam compensates for these inconveniences.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The location was superb, with views of the outside streets that were perfect for people-watching. However, the noise from the water fountain, tram lines, and loud individuals made it challenging to rest peacefully. The room itself was clean and offered a charming view over the canal.
The hotel is in a central spot with easy access to downtown, canal trips, and the museum quarter. The rooms are clean but a bit on the dark side with no milk for tea or coffee, only powdered milk. The service is very friendly and accommodating, providing helpful assistance with various needs. The location offers proximity to many attractions, transportation options, and dining choices. The dining experience varies, with some aspects perfect while others are not worth the price.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a bit dark, and there was no milk for tea or coffee, only powdered milk, but a late check-in would have easily solved that. The service was mostly friendly, helpful, and accommodating despite a few hiccups like a wrong order and slow service. While the location was elegant and central with easy access to transportation options, I did find it lacking in terms of nearby dining choices. The dining area had a Dutch-style breakfast with cold meats and cheeses, which could have been improved by being buffet-style.
The hotel had mixed experiences during our stay. The rooms were smaller than anticipated, feeling a bit cramped like a prison cell. On the bright side, the bar and the room-cleaning crew were exceptional. Out of the four rooms booked by our group, opinions varied.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location and friendly staff, with some room for improvement in the dining options. The rooms were clean and comfy, but the dining experience lacked variety. The pool area was well-kept and enjoyable, adding to the overall positive experience.
