The location of the hotel is at least a 15 min walk to most things. It’s on a pretty quiet street. Seems to be some students in the area. Many things near by close fairly early. The hotel was very nice. There is a self check in, so the staff aren’t overly involved. It took 6 tries to get in my room going back and forth to the front desk. A bit frustrating but they were very nice and finally figured it out. The room was comfortable. I’d stay again.

Great location for easy transport around the city, staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside for some might be the small size of the bathrooms, was alright for me but I’d imagine it would be very tight for some.

The hotel is situated in a fairly quiet neighbourhood, located just around the corner from the University of Amsterdam Business School and about 20 minutes walk from the city centre. The rooms are reasonable size, have an en suite, television, desk, safe, wardrobe etc. We were on the third floor and had a sloped roof above the bed, which was weird but worked. Breakfast is good, with hot and cold options, consisting of eggs, bacon, pancakes, cereals, pastries, cheeses, fruit and more. The apple cake is very good! There are many restaurants and cafes near the hotel, along with a nearby zoo and supermarkets. My only gripe about this place is that our mattress sank in the middle and made for an uncomfortable sleep. I hope they change that out.

Comfy and good location
Really loved the location! Kinda easy to get everywhere by tram or on foot. The room was fine although we felt it could’ve had a few more hooks for towels. Also, when we got there there was a funny smell in the room which luckily disappeared after keeping the window open during our stay. Generally clean, although there were a bunch of dead mosquitoes on the window sill inside they weren’t cleaned away. Would recommend it and stay here again though.

Property well situated to explore the city, 20 min walk, 10 min tram ride to dam square. Property OK, bit tired looking in areas. Booked a twin room which was fine but very small. Space so limited that the twin beds were immediately adjacent so no different than a double bed! Bathroom tiny. But overall ok and comfortable as we didn’t spend much time in the hotel. Staff were lovely, very helpful and friendly.

Inaccurate room photos
The pictures shown for room types were a very far cry from what was available. This hotel is extremely dark in the rooms, particularly with small windows. I booked what I understood to be the best room available and truly felt like I was staying in an attic.

We were looking for a hotel that could host 4 in one room. This hotel had a lovely room that met our needs. The location was perfect on a tram line to central Amsterdam as well as semi urban walking for winding down. There were several convenient coffee shops near by as a pubs and several choices of restaurants with in a couple minutes walking distance.
