Stayed at this awesome Hotel early July 2026, and what an excellent choice we made! Easy to reach all the exciting attractions by foot, beautiful shops, no trouble finding places to eat and things to explore. Twin room was perfect, spacious, clean with a massive window to let the view in. Breakfast was yummy and staff very helpful. Would absolutely come back for a longer stay.

We enjoyed everything about this hotel, the friendly service, the perfect location, and the amazing view from the penthouse room. It was so nice to be greeted with friendly smiles every time we went through the lobby. We will be back in Amsterdam next year and we will definitely book a room here again.

Great location. 20 minutes or less walk to museums, canals, and also right next to the tram stop so it was easy to get to the train station as well, when needed. Friendly service. Elevator could easily fit 4 people with extra room. Very spacious room and bathroom size. Room's A/C worked well. The lounge is open 24 hours if you need to take a call while others are sleeping in your room. The rooms are a bit dated. I found some lipstick stains on the bedsheets which were otherwise white and clean, and there was a cracked drawer. I had a courtyard facing room so my sleep was very quiet and restful. The mattress was also comfortable. The pros largely outweighed any cons I found. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay here again.

I really enjoyed my 4 night stay at this hotel recently. The location is super walkable and steps from the trams and canals. The hotel staff were friendly and accommodated an early check in. The room was big, clean, and comfortable. A tad dated, but was perfectly fine for me. Easy to come and go with your own room key. The hotel is in a busy area so there is naturally noise. I personally did not find it disruptive. I used a sound machine app on my phone and was able to sleep perfectly fine from room 107. Never heard neighbors or people outside my room either. Overall thought it was great value for the price!

Stayed here for a weekend getaway with a friend and had a great experience. I didn’t book the room myself, so I had no expectations, which made the stay even nicer. The hotel is in a lively location with a beautiful street and canal view, just steps from the tram and surrounded by cafés and shops. The room was spacious, comfortable, and had big windows. Street noise was minimal considering the location. The staff were very helpful and relaxed — I asked for an extra duvet and it was waiting in the room when I returned. A big bonus for me was the pillow options (soft/thin and firm), which is rare. The bed was comfortable, and free coffee and tea were available all day in the lounge. Very happy with the stay and would definitely return.
