Reviews and Ratings
The hotel left much to be desired as the rooms felt grimy and smoky, while the A/C seemed faulty and ineffective. However, the service was welcoming despite some interruptions and delays in renovation work outside the building.
The hotel's rooms have an unusual, dated Art Nouveau style with ants around the coffee area, but they offer a quiet atmosphere overlooking the inner courtyard. The service was marred by some unpleasant and dishonest interactions, especially at check-out. The location, though close to the city center and train station, felt a bit odd in its design. The dining experience was a mix of delights and disappointments. Overall, an interesting stay with both positive and negative aspects.
The hotel location is convenient for exploring Amsterdam, close to major attractions. The rooms were disappointing with cleanliness issues and maintenance issues like mold and stained carpets, diminishing the overall experience. The service was below expectations with mistakes and unhelpful staff. Dining was overpriced with limited options. The hotel offers a great central location but falls short on cleanliness and service standards.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room wasn't fully set up, but facing the courtyard provided a peaceful night's sleep. The old room was a bit too hot, making it hard to sleep, yet it offered tranquility. The service was helpful and friendly, but there were some lapses in attention to detail. The location was awesome, but a bit challenging to find. The dining experience was not worth the money, and the facilities were adequate.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The rooms were massive and amazing but the chairs were not the best. The ceilings were impressively high, making the space feel grand. However, there was a concerning issue with my room being marked as 'Free' on their system, resulting in inconvenience during breakfast, and another guest gaining access with my key. Despite these setbacks, the room itself was huge, well-appointed, and exceptionally clean.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was very central, perfect for exploring Amsterdam, and the room was nicely decorated for my birthday celebration. However, the room service was slow, and the view from my room was not great, overlooking other rooms just a meter away.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while clean and spacious, may require a bed change for longer stays. The service is friendly and accommodating, although efficiency in replenishing amenities could improve. The location is central and convenient, ideal for exploring the city, but the dining options might not be the best value for money.
The hotel's room, despite being small and lacking some amenities, was beautifully decorated in an art nouveau style, which was a highlight. The new section at the back gave a different perspective to the stay, but the room number misguiding customers was a letdown.
My stay at the hotel was quite disappointing. The rooms were in terrible condition with broken mirrors, moldy sinkholes, and filthy carpets. The mattress was the only saving grace in terms of comfort. The mix-up with the room type was a major mood killer, and the evacuation on a Saturday night was frightening. The cleanliness was subpar overall.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with great views, although cleanliness issues raised some concerns. The service was warm and attentive, although there was a small hiccup with the extra bed. The location is convenient, close to public transportation and attractions.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though upgraded, felt small and old and were quite a journey to locate. The cleanliness of the rooms was satisfactory, but the view was a bit disappointing given the price and 5-star rating. Despite this, the room itself was spacious with high ceilings.
