The hotel was in a convenient location, near a bus stop and about 15 minutes away from the center of Amsterdam. The rooms were decent, offering a double bed and a single bed that wasn't ideal for three people. The service, especially at the reception desk, was unprofessional, but the tours and ticket assistance were helpful. The dining experience was great with a variety of tasty and filling options. However, there were issues with the taxi charges and staff attitude. Overall, it was an average stay with some positives and negatives.

The hotel rooms were clean and large with decent size bathrooms; however, they require a serious upgrade. The service was friendly but lacked information on certain options. The location, though a bit far from central Amsterdam, was convenient with easy access to public transport. The dining experience was mixed, with some saying it was good value, while others found it disappointing. Overall, a place that has potential but needs some improvements.

The hotel has spacious and comfortable rooms with a coffee machine, well-lit spaces, and cozy beds. The bathroom includes heated floors, of a decent size. However, the dining options were subpar with uninspiring bread and stale croissants. The location is convenient, near tram and bus stations, making it easy to reach tourist spots and restaurants.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were fine, and the breakfast was good. The hotel's proximity to Central station and the metro station is convenient. However, I encountered cleanliness issues like damaged furniture, a cracked bath, unknown pills on the floor, a strange damp musky smell, and blood on the wall that needed to be cleaned by the maid.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and had four comfortable beds, plus a nice touch with the included coffee machines. However, the constant drilling sound on the floor was a bit annoying. The service was top-notch, with kind and helpful staff always available to assist, especially when returning late to the hotel. The location was safe and easily accessible by public transport, though a bit far from the city center. The dining experience was just okay but overpriced for the simplicity of the meal. Despite some minor drawbacks, the hotel offers decent value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were initially clean and very comfortable, equipped with all the amenities you could need, but they really need an update as they smelt of stale smoke, which was quite horrible. The service was friendly, with helpful staff ensuring the bedding was clean every day, but there were some concerns about people smoking weed outside. The location was a bit off-center, a tram ride away from the city center, and the surroundings seemed a bit sketchy. The dining experience was a miss with limited breakfast options. Overall, it had its ups and downs.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms weren't initially clean as I found the cleaning lady had entered without knocking, but eventually, we were moved to cleaner rooms after a couple of nights.

The service was friendly and really helpful, close to public transportation, and at a good price. The location was further from the city center than expected but can be easily reached by bus. The dining experience was good, though the same every day, and one of the best buffet breakfasts we have had. The facilities were great but not matching the caliber of the hotel.
