Cleanliness
8
Generally reported as clean — rooms described as spotless with a fresh smell on arrival — but housekeeping was inconsistent in a few reviews.
Service
9
Staff repeatedly described as welcoming, friendly and helpful (reception held bags, helpful desk staff, friendly room service), though one report noted a poor check-in/booking handling and an upcharge for early check-in.
Location
9.5
Consistently praised as very central and ideal for exploring the city (close to the Dam and main attractions).
Room Quality
7.6
Mixed comments: some rooms spacious with comfortable beds and large bathrooms, others were small or had awkward twin layouts, dim lighting, bed-height/firmness issues and lacked simple items (luggage rack).
Amenities
8.4
Good on-site amenities noted — restaurant, bar, handy self-serve mini convenience shop, Rituals bathroom products — though the bar is cocktail-focused with limited non-cocktail/hot drink options.
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed: some praise for good-value menu of the day, but a few guests felt value was lacking (comments like 'you get what you pay for' and issues with unexpected charges/cancellations).
Food and Beverage
8.1
Restaurant and breakfast received strong praise (excellent/perfect), and the bar/lounge was liked by many, though drink options were somewhat limited and no hot drinks were available at times.
Overall Experience
8.3
Overall positive stay driven by central location, friendly staff and historic character; negatives (accessibility/steps, some room/layout issues, intermittent housekeeping and isolated service/booking problems) temper the score.

Soggiorno in edificio storico
Pros:

Posizione ottima, il palazzo bellissimo, con una storia molto importante: era la prima sede del birrificio Heineken. Tutte le informazioni si trovano in una rivista apposita disponibile nella stanza. Staff gentilissimo e molto disponibile. La stanza era un po' piccola, ma ben organizzato con letto comodo, silenzioso e ambiente piacevole.

Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

Didn’t like the step at the bathroom door, it was a tripping hazard either going in or exiting the bathroom. I’m short, found the bed too high when getting into bed. Lighting could be better.

Wish we could have moved here during the early hours and enjoyed our first night here too!
Pros:

We had to move from a disgraceful hotel so we walked to this one after finding it in booking.com to view it and the staff on reception were amazing. They were welcoming and friendly and so helpful. They offered to keep our bags for us to go out and enjoy the city until we could check in because they were busy from the night before so had to wait for a room. The room was spotless and so comfortable. As soon as we stepped out of the lift we could smell the freshness. The room service staff were friendly too.

Historical stay
Pros:

Location is perfect for exploring Amsterdam very close to the dam. Would stay again! The menu of the day was excellent value. Fascinating history in this

Cons:

We struggled getting to our room with suitcases, as its an older building and going up and down steps, no flat access. No big one once suitcases delivered.

Pros:

Excellent location, very central and convenient for exploring the city. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. Handy self serve mini convenience 'store'

Cons:

Twin room layout very awkward - tight squeeze. Overly soft beds (tricky if you prefer a firmer mattress) The bar is cocktail oriented with limited options for other drinks and no hot drinks.

Pros:

Posizione ottima, camera ampia, letto comodissimo, armadio capiente e zona relax. Bagno grande, doccia walk in e prodotti Rituals. Perfetta anche la temperatura. Affacciata sulla strada, ma silenziosa nelle ore notturne. Colazione perfetta.

Cons:

Avrei preferito essere avvisata dei lavori di ristrutturazione della facciata, con i ponteggi proprio dalla mia finestra. Per la categoria dell’hotel oltre al caffè e al the, riforniti ogni giorno, sarebbe stata apprezzata anche l’acqua.

As the saying goes "you get what you pay for", We didn't feel that we got what we paid for.
Pros:

Location is good. The hotel bar/lounge is excellent. Vintage decor. The hotel was an original Heineken brewery, plenty of history in this building.
,

Cons:

Had requested a street view, we were booked with an interior room that said courtyard view, the view was looking down on some form of machinery. The room did not offer a simple luggage rack, we had to lay out our suitcases on the floor. We arrived at the hotel at 1300, were advised that our room was not ready and that check-in was 1500. Then I was told by the front desk that for 30 euros extra per hour , we could check in early.............WTF, he just told me the room wasn't ready!
