    Big plus is the hotel location. Smashing I would say. Excellent kitchen and very good service. We were notified even for the next weather change in writing the previous afternoon.

    This is a good central location to stay, with friendly helpful service

    Service especially the front desk was consistently friendly and helpful, which really made for a good visit. The location on Dam square was ideal.

    Minus points were minor - the room (305) was very small, the safe did not work and there was very little storage space. It looked out on an alley, which made it a bit dark and grim. Next time we'll try for a room at the front.

    “My tip: We really enjoyed the museum of Our Lord in the Attic ”

    High quality and reasonable cost with great service

    This was a very enjoyable stay and the service was first rate. The staff were very helpful and personable and the food was excellent. We have stayed at this hotel before and I can state that the standards have not slipped at all from our previous stay.

    “My tip: Try the breakfasts they are well worth the extra cost and the service is first class”

    wonderful facility and people, key amenities missing

    Your staff people were excellent! Courteous, helpful, kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable, The room was lovely, clean, well appointed and very comfortable...loved the bed, and linens...thank you

    disappointed that at the price point, no complimentary coffee or tea in the morning, no breakfast included, and you charge for wifi, 3 euro for 30 min? crazy! It's not only the price but also inconvenient to have to go thru all the logon process. We picked you for ,your reputation...you shou;ld be a cut above in this area

    “My tip: Yes, negotiate for breakfast and wifi”

    Stylish, modern hotel in the heart of Amsterdam

    Stylish, modern hotel in the heart of Amsterdam that is reasonably priced and offers really good value for money. Rooms well maintained and super clean; staff attentive and efficient.

    I think I had the worst room in the hotel, with a view of a blank wall, which was starnge considering I arrived around 2.00 pm, when plenty of other rooms should have been available. The receptionist was very polite and offered a better room next day, but who wants to move once you have unpacked? Also the safe and the coffee machine were not working properly.

    “My tip: Reduced price breakfast makes it attractive to eat in the cafe there now. Location is super convenient for tram travel.”

    Great location with great service

    Great location right on Dam Square. Room design was spacious and very appealing.

    No spa facilities. Soundproofing in rooms (to outside noise) is inadequate - due to location there is constant street noise.

    Outstanding Hotel - Location is in Dam Square!

    The location was perfect!!! Close to the train station and staying in close proximity to Dam Square was fabulous! The front desk provided train tickets to purchase, which made it easier when checking out, we had a flight to Denmark and didn\'t have to worry about transportation.

    I was hoping for the rate to be lower, but once arriving and receiving the excellent service, it was well worth it!

    Next time I will search for a better hotel

    Breakfast is fine. Internet access is available in business center. Location of hotel is satisfied.

    Room is too small, just like a cage. When you open the window, you can even reach the balcony of neighbour apartment by hand, which made me very depressive. No king-size bed is available, just patchwork of two single bed. No enough information are provided in reception.

    Breakfast was very good quality and quantity. Employee\'s very helpful, pleasant and courteous

    The shower head was broken and fell into the tub. The tub stopper system did not work. I appreciate that rooms are a bit smaller than at home but I felt that the room size and location was a bit pricy.

    location to areas for sightseeing was very convenient. also proximity to a tram stop was very nice - couldn\'t be closer as it was just outside the hotel door! On arrival, consierge offered information on sights and other visitor information. Very helpful. Would consider staying here again.

    requested a smoking room and confirmed via phone but when i arrived they did not have me in a smoking room. they did move me the following day but at an additional cost - required a room upgrade. the upgraded room though was nicer than my original \"classic\" room. cost for weekend night was significantly higher than week rate.

    If you hate crowds may be too close to Dam Square and Central Station for you.
