Pricey, great location, odd room configuation
Pros:

The location is perfect, 8 minutes to central train, a couple minutes from the restaurants and bars. The breakfast was very good, eggs to order and a good compliment of items. Nice Restaurant attached. Adequately sized room

Cons:

Noise from adjoining rooms and noise from room above. Door closing noise. It could have been a lot worse. The bathroom door was so close to the bed that It only opened about halfway. The two twin beds side by side were awkward and uncomfortable. The elevator was slow. The price was extremely high for the room.

Pros:

The location was perfect.

Cons:

It felt like the whole time I was trying to talk quietly because the walls are paper thin. Anytime someone would walk in the hallway I could hear everything. This made me very uncomfortable during my stay there. The room was whatever , I honestly didn’t really like it but it got the job done. It was convenient they have a restaurant downstairs, but annoying that it doesn’t do room service. All in all it wasn’t the worst thing ever but I wouldn’t stay here again.

The hotel enjoys a perfect central location on Damrak, and although the room is on the small side, it has everything you
Pros:

Perfect location for a stopover or weekend in Amsterdam. Good to be able to have a single bed bedroom as I travelled on my own.

Cons:

Difficult to find the regulation of the A/C that was hidden behind the television. Safety box didn’t work.

Great location but overpriced.
Pros:

Location was excellent.

Cons:

Over priced for a very basic small standard room.
Amsterdams annual dance festival was on so I’m assuming why it was so expensive. Room was very basic with a very small bathroom.

Great breakfast & staff but hotel needs a complete refurb for the prices they’re charging
Pros:

Great breakfast, location, heated bathroom floor, baggage lockers & staff

Cons:

Small Room size & noisy neighbours in adjoining & overhead rooms, overlooking a bedroom in another hotel quite closely so couldn’t open the curtains - hence dark room. Really cheap & uncomfortable bed & pillows, bar is part of restaurant so not inviting. Hotel is 3* & needs complete refurb to justify 4 star rating.
