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

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.

Pros:

Hotell on väga kenas hoones. Toa suurus oli keskpärane. Hotelli asukoht on väga mugav, et jala kesklinnas igale poole liikuda. Hotellis on restoran suvise välialaga ja baar. Lisateenusena tõi ettetelitud takso meid hotelli, mis oli väga mugav. Rõõmsameelne personal.

Cons:

Hind on üsna kõrge. Hommikusöök keskpärane, eritoidulistele eraldi toitu pole ja allergeenide sisaldust märgitud ei ole.
