Great location, within walking distance to most attractions. The room is small but adequate and affordable. We stayed in room 222 and the negative was the sink in the corner of the bathroom. Comfortable bed, nice quality linens, helpful staff and great breakfast.

We booked this hotel because of it's location near to (but not too near) the Central train station. Good thing I was able to mapquest the location, because it's a bit hard to find! However, the hotel is right smack in the middle of everything, making it great spot from which to visit many different Amsterdam quarters. The rooms were... More

This hotel is a little hard to find. We took the train from the airport to Central Station and walked to Dam Square. An easy walk. When you walk into Dam Square it is the 2nd or 3rd right. It almost looks like a ally but it is the street. There is a coffee house on the corner. The street... More

I only stayed in this hotel one night prior to a river cruise, but loved the location and the hotel itself. It's right off Dam Square and the tram tracks so getting around is very easy. We had a room overlooking the very small street below with windows that looked out. Excellent people watching! I'm sorry to say that we... More

We stayed here because it wasn't to far from the Train station and was in the old town. To be honest we were pleasantly surprised. Its rooms are comfortable the facilities are clean and well kept. It is obviously an old building and is right in the heart of the night life and restaurants of the old town. The red... More

Stayed at the hotel for 2 days at the end of February. To begin with, the location was super good. Especially if u stay in amsterdam for 2-3 days, staying near dam square is a must I think and the hotel is just a few steps from the square. Room we stayed in was on the top floor ,quite warm,heating... More

This is a lovely place to stay to explore central Amsterdam. We could walk to the hotel from the Central Station and to our river boat cruise.The hotel is clean and the rooms were a nice size and very comfortable. The breakfast was great. Would stay here again.

The hotel is located just behind a church and about 30m from the main road. Taxis can't get to its front door as it is pedestains only area. So if you are traveling alone with many bags or heavy ones you may need to take note of this. The location of the hotel is its greatest asset. I stayed for... More

On arrival, the receptionist said that although we had booked a double room (very small apparently), she could put us in the best room of the hotel. Wow, this room had a sitting area overlooking the street, clean superb. The only thing that let down this hotel is the breakfast, plain white soft rolls, hard boiled eggs, most hotels do... More

Stayed here for a weekend with the family. Great location in the centre of the town. Make sure you get a "proper" map as the one in google maps gives you the location of the Madame Tussauds rather than the actual hotel. Rooms are clean and nice, breakfast buffet and serving staff was very friendly and the front desk staff... More
