Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the hotel's prime location near the Rijksmuseum and with a tram stop right outside, making it easy to explore the city and access Amsterdam Centraal station. Many found the rooms spacious and comfortable, with some corner suites offering enjoyable canal views and large bathrooms. While some guests mentioned street noise can be noticeable, the availability of in-room Nespresso machines and 24-hour coffee and tea in the lobby are definite pluses. Breakfast is not always included.

The room offered a very spacious layout with a nice design. The room cleaning lady was kind and generous, SO KIND! The lounge area downstairs offers options for quick tea and coffee.

i found the location quite central. I walked to many nearby attractions. The room was spacious, and the breakfast buffet had a LARGE selection of choices. Staff were helpful and kind.
the MINIMAL lighting in the room presented some difficulty. The larger light bulb in the bathroom did not function. This made the room quite dark, especially when the sun was not shining.
