Tue-Thu 14-16 May 2013; 2 twin rooms; 4 blokes - CHELSEA Europa final. I originally booked this via EXPEDIA, but then made changes via email direct with the hotel - EMAIL and PHONE comms were great! I chose it for its fabulous location, half-way between Central Stations and Dam Square - each are only about 1/4 mile (500m) away. The... More

We were intially very worried when we landed on the manically busy Damrak to check in to this hotel. We needn't have worried at all. Although the Damrak is crazy, busy and noisy the Exchange is an oasis of unusual calm in the middle of it! If you are claustrophobic or find small spaces frustrating this is NOT the place... More

This hotel is superbly situated only minutes from central station and dam square. The room we booked was "superior" and for a ridiculous amount of money we had a very small room containing only a large bed (admittedly one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in) two slatted stools as bedside tables and an easel type contraption to...

You get more than what you pay for. This is a great hotel, rooms a bit small but the location makes up for that. Staff could not be better, they see to your every need and are so friendly and helpful. Hallways are really funky as are the themed rooms. Would highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed here one night as a layover. The staff were friendly and were able to address all our questions right away. The room and bathroom were clean and even included a safe box. The shower was hot and the bed (1 star room) was comfortable and warm. The hotel is within walking distance of delicious food and the red... More

Stone throw distance from Centraal station and Dam square. Comfy beds, artistic decor and a brilliant cafe and right in the middle of all the action. If you are looking for a cosy place not far from Dam square at affordable rates this is it. What else !! Will definitely stay here again

Pros: Central location, walking distance to everything, clean rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff. Cons: Small room, toilet and shower in separate closet-like compartments, very dim lighting (ie. reading in bed is difficult).

I think the hotel believes its own hype and needs to pay more attention to the things seasoned travellers now take for granted like water in the room, tea coffee making facilities, a shower cap, a mini bar, a tv that works, foreign tv channels, need I say anymore. Instead you have wacky wallpaper and not much else! I'd never... More

After finding out that the hotel offered their rooms 20% cheaper on their website as we paid on booking.com we were already a bit irritated let's say. Well, at least we go an update from 3 star to 4 star (for a total of 490 EUR without breakfast!!!). Thats in the reverse angle completely overpriced! The welcome at the reception... More
