Gemütliches Zimmer an guter Lage
Pros:

Super Lage, sehr zentral und nahe am Bahnhof aber an einer ruhigeren Strasse. Zimmer war sehr gemütlich und das Bett mega weich und bequem.

Cons:

Beim Check-in mit der remote Rezeption hat zwar alles geklappt, aber wie haben die Person auf dem Bildschirm fast nicht verstanden, weil sie nicht direkt in ein Mikrophon gesprochen hat.

Die Treppe zu den Zimmern ist sehr steil und eng, also nicht praktisch mit grossem Gepäck.

Disappointing.
Pros:

I needed to be near the station on this trip for logistical reasons, and the location was the best thing about this place. Easy enough check-in experience with the hologram staff person, but that's the only time you interact with anyone so hard to rate staff.

Cons:

But the room was pretty awful. I had an attic room which was accessible by four flights of typical narrow and curvy Dutch stairs, lucky for me I only had a backpack because getting a suitcase of any size up there would have been next to impossible. But the room itself was not clean, really dusty, dirty floors, windows, etc. There was no bedside light at all, the only light available was the bright overhead light. The water in the bathroom sink was problematic, only coming out in short bursts as if there was air in the tubes. No plugs anywhere useful - no place in the bathroom to plug in a hair dryer and no mirror in the room if you could find a plug there. No TV channels - you could only log in to your personal streaming service (from what I could tell). And the bed had an old lumpy mattress. I'm a very frequent traveler to Amsterdam, and this was at the lowest end of anyplace I've stayed.

Disappointed as this wasn’t a cheap stay and was meant to be a special trip for my girlfriend’s birthday.
Pros:

Great location. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

We arrived at 1:45pm and were told the room wouldn’t be ready until 3pm which is after our check in time. When we arrived the room was clearly not cleaned properly as there was hair/dirt on the carpets and bedding. There was urine dribbles around the toilet seat and toilet roll on the floor, whilst there was beard hairs around the sink area. There was no hot water in the shower either just to top it all off.

Harikaydı! Manzara ve lokasyon özellikle!
Pros:

Heryere yürüme mesafesi, havalimanından gelirken Amsterdam centralde inip 5dk inip otele ulaşabiliyorsunuz.
Resepsiyon yok fakat çok teknolojikler :)

Goed verblijf voor een nachtje in Amsterdam.
Pros:

De locatie was heel goed, vlak bij CS en ander openbaar vervoer. Hoewel het hotel in een druk gebied stat was er geen geluidsoverlast.

Cons:

4 hoog bleek best toch wel hoog te zijn ;-) om te lopen.

Perfect location, perfect place for a long weekend
Pros:

Very modern. Heat/air con was excellent. Free chocs every day was a nice touch. Decor was lovely. Location was perfect. Lovely and quiet despite being so close to the centre. Felt actually very secure despite there not being a manned reception. The constant replenishment of towels was excellent.

Cons:

Aspects of the room needed a better clean (dirty shower head, dirty bedside tables), the luggage storage room felt a bit unclean and the locker doors were falling off the hinges.
