I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which was conveniently located right in the center of Amsterdam and just a short walk from the central station. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and provided a good atmosphere for rest. However, I was a bit let down by the limited breakfast options. On the positive side, the service was excellent, and I really appreciated their warm welcome with a drink. Overall, it felt like a great deal for the price, though there are some areas for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with its welcoming vibe and stunning river views. The rooms were clean and cozy, making for a restful night's sleep. The location was perfect for exploring the city, just a short walk from central station. However, the dining options could use some improvement as the breakfast spread was quite limited and didn't fully satisfy my morning cravings.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is right in the heart of Amsterdam, making it convenient for exploring, but getting a table at some of the popular local restaurants was a challenge. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which was definitely a plus. However, the dining options weren’t great, especially breakfast which could use more variety. Overall, the service was nice and welcoming, but not everything lived up to my expectations.

I had a lovely stay, with cozy and clean rooms that made me feel right at home. The service was outstanding, starting with a refreshing welcome drink. The location was simply fantastic—close to everything I wanted to explore, especially the Science Museum. However, I was a bit let down by the limited breakfast options, and the pool, while nice, could use some more amenities. Overall, it was a great experience, especially considering the value for money!

This hotel boasts a fantastic location right next to the central library and very close to the city center, making it easy to explore. The rooms are comfortable, and I loved the complimentary welcome drink upon arrival. However, the breakfast could use more variety, which was a small letdown. Overall, it offers great value for money for those looking to stay in the heart of the city.
