Very frequent praise: 'excellent location', 'close to city center', near tram/Leidseplein, easy access to park and canals — location is a clear strength.
Room Quality
7.4
Mixed to negative: several reports of very small rooms and bathrooms, outdated decor, problems with curtains and TV, noisy wooden floors and banging doors; some rooms praised for comfort, bathtub and view, but overall room quality is below target.

VALIO LA PENA
Pros:

La ubicacion es fabulosa a metros de Leidseplein. Se llega caminando sin problemas tanto al centro como a la zona de museos, o los barrios De Pijp, Jordaan. Lleno de lugares para comer o tomar unas cervezas. Muy buen ambiente. Tambien muy accesible con los tranvias, especialmente si se quiere ir a la estacion central si llegaste en Eurostar; y para ir al aeropuerto, se toma un omnibus directo a dos cuadras. Muy buen desayuno, el personal muy atento (varios españoles que nos ayudaban con el idioma). La habitacion estaba en el cuarto piso, en el altillo y era algo pequeña pese a que nos dijeron que nos daban un up grade a la que habiamos reservado.

Cons:

Habia habitaciones a las que se accedia solo por escaleras, que por suerte no nos toco. El precio es algo caro para el producto final, pero Amsterdam tiene una hoteleria costosa en definitiva, que hizo que lo eligieramos.

ロケーションはよく、レセプションも親切な良いホテル。
Pros:

当日オランダ全土が交通ストで、加えて雨模様。スローテルダイク駅から徒歩でホテルに向かわざるを得ないと解っていたので、事前にアーリーチェックインの打診をメールで送っておきました。ヨレヨレで着いた我々を親切に迎えてくれて、ホテルの部屋ではなくアパート形式の部屋に入れてくれました。部屋にはエアコンもありましたが、ラジエター式のヒーターも付けてくれていたので、濡れた服や靴を乾かすことが出来て、とても助かりました。
ロケーションは、国立美術館やゴッホ美術館のすぐ近くで、観光にも便利。ホテル自体は少し奥まったところにあって静かでした。

Cons:

特になし。

Le personnel très accueillant, le petit déjeuner très varié, le calme de la chambre. L'hôtel est très bien situé à proximité des musées et au début de bon nombre de circuits de découverte des quartiers d'Amsterdam le long des canaux.
