"Accessible to everything. Very close to train station. Indistinct from neighboring buildings. Uninteresting lobby. I loved the references to the building once having been home to a newspaper. Also the funny wall paper maps in the rooms. Highlights are the welcoming staff, the compact but well lighted rooms (221 is very quiet), and the restaurant that serves excellent pasta pesto and wines. There may be more charming hotels at same price point? But worked just fine."

"Amazing location right in the heart of Amsterdam! Easy to walk to attractions and a tram stop outside if you did not want to walk. Despite this room was quiet and we did not hear any excessive noise from outside. Room size was perfect for 2 people, very clean and plenty of water (big and small bottles in room). Bathroom (sink) was kind of open plan which was a surprise but actually was quite cool. Shower was very good, hot water and good pressure. Shout out to Clement on reception who gave us some great tips for the area and was just helpful in general - the whole reception team were in fact. Did not use restaurant this time but have done so in the past so know that it is fantastic too. 100% will stay again if we visit Amsterdam."

"This was a fabulous hotel with all staff being friendly, efficient and caring. The food was delicious and I tried lots of breakfast combinations during our 5 day stay. The only regrets for me was the strange bathroom arrangement with the total area on view from the bedroom. This may be fine for a young couple but I am over 70 and I would rather not be "on show" to my partner when I was shaving and stepping out of the shower. The air conditioning was noisy too but the room soundproofing was fabulous."
