Mostly described as spotless in several reviews, though a few guests reported one instance of a room not being cleaned on time and one comment saying a room wasn’t clean/dark.
Service
9.1
Multiple mentions of very friendly, helpful staff, specific praise for upgrades and a waiter named Carlo; staff reacted quickly to requests (e.g., delivering fresh towels).
Location
9.6
Repeatedly highlighted as a prime, central location (Leidseplein, near museums, tram, canals, restaurants) and a major reason guests chose the hotel.
Room Quality
8.2
Rooms often described as comfortable, some spacious and upgraded canal-view/executive rooms; negatives include some very small rooms, small towels, and occasional noise from adjoining rooms/above.
Amenities
8
Good breakfast, nice bar and on-site dining noted; however several guests mentioned lack of air conditioning and mixed experiences with balcony availability.
Value for Money
7.7
Value is mixed: guests appreciate location and upgrades but some feel rooms/beds are small for the price or that balcony pricing is a premium that isn’t matched by room size.

Breakfast repeatedly praised as good/fresh and a la carte options mentioned; on-property food and bar also received positive comments.
Overall Experience
8.8
Generally excellent stays with standout location, attractive art-deco property and friendly staff; minor detractors (noise, AC, occasional housekeeping/towel size) but many guests say they'd return.

Te duur voor wat je krijgt
Pros:

Goede locatie
Comfortabel bed
Ruime kamer

Cons:

Erg gehorig, zowel de straat (tram) als geluid van de andere gasten.
Vuile plekken in de douche.
Soms een aanwezige wietgeur die via ventilatie in onze badkamer terecht kwam.

Pros:

Me hicieron un upgrade la habitación sin razón, fue excelente. La habitación es enorme y con vista al canal, y además tiene un pequeño balcón, precioso. Disfrute mucho de mi estadía. Además la ubicación es inmejorable.

Mycket trevligt hotell med fantastiskt läge.
Pros:

Läget var fantastiskt! Mycket trevliga lokaler inkl frukostmatsalen och hotellbaren.

Cons:

Egentligen inte så mycket, men lite tråkigt att komma hem till ett ostädat rum kl 16:00 när det varit tillgängligt för städning sedan kl 10:00.
Hade även önskat lite mer glutenfria alternativ på frukosten.
