Chris on reception greeted us with a friendly and professional manner, couldn’t ask for anything more. We will be booking again. The music room is a must if you get to choose a room

Very convenient location.

Very convenient location to tour Amsterdam, close to restaurants and Central Station for transfer to/from Schiphol Airport. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Cleaners just needed a little wake up call.

Hayden James William, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in the Garage room. The room was a very nice size considering that rooms in Europe are generally smaller than those we are used to in North America. All of the amenities we needed were provided, the mini bar was well stocked, and the turn down service was lovely.
Teresa, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Would not recommend for a business trip

No staff past 11pm means guests run around as they feel all night slamming doors and making noise. If you’re looking for a hotel which is not a high end hostel. If your on business try the M Gallery close by where you’ll get a good sleep.

A little gem with everything in walking distance..

Excellent location with all the attractions within walking distance. Get your day started at the coffeeshop across the road from the hotel. Great place to unwind at the end of the day too. Rooms are clean, modern and have a chic vibe. A little on the small side, we stayed in 'The Den' but I think balanced with affordability. There is some construction on the approach street but you'll be fine. Great shopping is a few steps away along with most eateries within 10-15mins walking distance. Check in / out was smooth no complaints really.

Alles sehr gut … Nur zu wenig Handtuchaufhänger für die Tücher im Bad.

10/10 Exceptional

The room with a king and twin was very nice, clean and comfortable. The twin was separated by a divider and had it's own TV. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location to some nearby tourist attraction. Staff were friendly and helpful, and it was easy to arrange transportation to Schiphol. Room was spacious and well-appointed, but we were a little disappointed that the hotel is unstaffed after 5 or 6pm and to get help, we will have to go to the nearby sister hotel. Overall it was still a great experience for our family of four.
