Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a perfect comfortable solution with good beds and a nice modern bathroom. The room was pretty, but very small, which could be a downside for some, especially for business travelers needing space to work on a computer. The location, however, was exceptional, close to various attractions and with easy access to different areas of the city.
The hotel's location is fantastic, right at the top end of Heerengracht, making it accessible to Central Station, restaurants, shops, and public transport. The rooms, although basic, offer a comfortable stay, yet some may find them a bit compact. The service was extremely helpful and friendly, ensuring a pleasant experience overall, with small downsides in the dining options and room size.
The hotel is in a prime location at the top end of Heerengracht, offering convenient access to all the City attractions while remaining quiet. The rooms are as advertised, but the steep staircase to the 5th floor may pose a challenge. The staff is incredibly helpful, arranging medical assistance when needed. The dining experience could be improved for the extra cost. Overall, a great choice in a fantastic area, with some room for enhancement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were nice and comfortable, but they were a bit tired and felt small. The service was friendly and extremely helpful when some travel plans were unexpectedly canceled, but it would have been nice to receive a small gesture of recognition. The location was excellent for what I wanted to do, right at the heart of the city, but the wifi connection was temperamental. The dining was okay but not outstanding, with limited options. Overall, a decent stay with some highs and lows.
The hotel is nestled in a quiet neighborhood in the city center, overlooking a picturesque canal with a short walk to main attractions. The rooms are sparkling clean and offer canal views, but lack space for luggage. The service is generally friendly, although there was a concerning incident with a staff member. The location is exceptional, with easy access to the canal view rooms and key tourist spots. The dining options are good but come at an extra cost. Overall, the hotel offers a great experience with a few minor drawbacks to consider.
The hotel had a charming and picturesque location, just a step away from Dam Square and the city center, making it perfect for exploring Amsterdam. The rooms were beautifully decorated, but being in the roof space, the low wooden roof rafters posed a constant risk of head-banging. The service was brilliant, with extremely warm and friendly staff who offered helpful tips for navigating the city. The dining options were convenient and simple, providing all the essentials for a good start to the day.
Staying directly over the front entrance to the hotel, my room was small but well laid out with everything needed, including a bathtub and shower. Despite being in an old building in the center of Amsterdam, it was surprisingly comfortable and spacious, albeit a bit narrow. The hotel did the job well overall.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The canal view from our room was lovely, but the room was small and made a lot of noise. The service was exceptional, but there were some issues with the rooms.
The hotel has a stylish and clean feel, offering small but functional rooms. While some amenities like milk sachets and bottled water were lacking, it still gets the job done. The service was highly accommodating, with cheerful and helpful staff members like Glenn, Gabriela, Manuel, Dirk, Hans, and Pietr standing out. The location, in an old Amsterdam house with multiple little stairs, is quite central, providing a charming view and easy access to main attractions. The dining experience offered delicious options but came at a slightly higher price point. Overall, the hotel offers a cozy stay with some minor room for improvement.
