The hotel had very comfortable and clean rooms. The breakfast was busy but very good, the dinner had limited choices but was okay, and the bar was very cozy with attentive staff who even remembered our drink preferences. However, the rooms lacked care and style, featuring open shelving that was not easily accessible, including at ground level.

The hotel offers spacious and very comfortable rooms with bathrooms meeting expectations, but there were issues with noise from outside traffic and cold drafts due to single pane glass, especially challenging for older guests. The service was a mixed experience with persistent inquiries about check-out time but pleasant interactions overall. The central location is ideal for arrival at Amsterdam Centraal, yet detours due to road closures can be a hassle. The dining options were pricey, with limited availability during specific hours. The hotel offers facilities like room service, dry cleaning, and tours/ticket assistance making it a fairly convenient stay overall.

The hotel is right in the center, away from the train station and red light district, but just a short walk from main shopping areas and museums. The rooms are comfortable but on the smaller side for the price paid. The cleanliness is top-notch with very comfy beds, though a bit of a climb with stairs inside the room. The service is a mix of extremely friendly, professional, and helpful staff, but with a slight issue of a broken air conditioner. The location is superb for couples exploring the city center on foot. The dining experience is generally good, with excellent staff available until late morning. Overall, the hotel provides a good experience, though it might be expensive for what it offers.

The hotel offers well-appointed and very comfortable rooms, complete with bathrobes and slippers, just like the ones advertised for the junior suites. The linens are of great quality, ensuring a cozy stay. The service, while mostly accommodating, had moments that weren't the most pleasant, especially close to closing time. The location is very convenient, being only 5 minutes from the Rokin metro station, connecting easily to major attractions and transportation hubs. The dining experience is delightful, with an excellent variety of choices despite some issues with poor lighting in certain areas. Overall, a comfortable and friendly stay with some minor hiccups.
