My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and a nice size, perfect for a short visit, though they tended to be warm even with the heating off and the window open. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my experience enjoyable. The location was convenient, close to various attractions and within a short walking distance from the city center. The dining options were good, offering a nice variety, though some improvements could enhance the experience. Overall, a value for money stay with some minor drawbacks.

The hotel is in a great location, near the bustling Rembrandtplein full of bars and restaurants, and within walking distance to key attractions like Dam Square and the museum area. The rooms are lovely, clean, and good in size for a two-night stay, but lacked a hairdryer. The service was friendly and accommodating, yet slightly slow during peak times. The dining options were decent, offering nice gluten-free bread and fresh fruit. Overall, a pretty good value for the location and amenities provided.
