“Great location on tram line for easy access to anywhere in the city or airport. Walkable to many great restaurants. Staff were helpful with tips on places to see. Breakfast was tasty and substantial. Rooms were clean and cozy.”

“Location was fantastic (close to the station, Rijksmuseum and a wide variety of restaurants) Staff at the front desk was lovely. Rooms were very small, the bed took almost the whole space. We stayed for two nights only so it wasn’t the major problem. The walls were very thin, you could hear everything from the surrounding rooms. Breakfast was enough for us, quite simple but tasty. The highlight was unlimited drinks from the cafeteria- tea, coffee, still and sparkling water available at any time of the day.”

“A lovely small hotel located handily for the museum district and close to De Pyjp area of restaurants and cafés. Small breakfast room with freshly prepared buffet. Individually decorated rooms.”

“Small rooms but okay for a short stay! There was free coffee in the reception area, which was a nice touch, and even a hotel cat, which gave the place a cosy, friendly feel. The staff were lovely and welcoming, and the hotel is located in the Museum Quarter, a quiet and beautiful area close to Amsterdam’s major museums. It’s also just a short tram ride from the city centre, so getting around is super easy. Rooms are decently clean. The main downside was the bed - the mattress protector felt a bit lumpy and made you sort of sink into the middle of the bed. Not a huge deal, but definitely something that could be improved. Overall, it’s a good spot for a 3-night stay, especially if you want a peaceful location, friendly staff, and little extras like free coffee and a resident cat.”

“The room was nice for one person but two people may have been a little cramped. The staff was great and the location was perfect. Tram lines 12, 3, 5, and 14 were around the corner taking you anywhere you may need to go. The hotel also conveniently rents bicycles.”
