I found the hotel to be a nice place, offering clean and small but well-equipped rooms. The service was excellent with kind and attentive staff. The location was convenient, although lacking air conditioning, and the dining experience was decently priced with a continental style breakfast. Overall, a good value for the money.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were quite spacious and super clean, providing all necessary amenities, but the room I stayed in was very small with a single bed. The separate building rooms had very steep stairs and an elevator that took ages to reach its destination.

The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with very comfortable beds, but could have been a bit bigger. The service, mainly managed by friendly and professional family members, was warm and welcoming. The location is excellent, close to public transport and within walking distance of many attractions. The dining options, while simple and tasty, do not provide a wide range of choices.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and cozy, overlooking the side of the hotel, and even though they were a bit small, they were perfectly sufficient for a comfortable stay. The service felt like being part of a big family, and the location was fantastic with easy access to major attractions. The dining options were modest but adequate, and the facilities were remarkable.

The hotel is conveniently located near key attractions like the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. The rooms are compact but well-equipped for a short stay. The service goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience, even offering a free breakfast. The dining options are satisfactory with a range of fresh items. However, the location might require navigating through quiet streets, and the rooms being on the entrance floor could lead to some noise disturbances.
