Cleanliness
7.5
Mixed mentions: several guests praised cleanliness ('Clean and comfortable', 'Netjes en schoon'), but multiple reports of rooms not clean, moths, bad smells, and humidity in bathrooms indicate below-average cleanliness.
Service
10
Consistently strong positive mentions: helpful and friendly reception/concierge, staff assisted with pet and travel arrangements, complimentary drinks and early check-in; one isolated comment about restaurant staff arrogance but front-desk/service repeatedly praised.
Location
9.4
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Mixed to negative: several reports of very small rooms and bathrooms, outdated decor, problems with curtains and TV, noisy wooden floors and banging doors; some rooms praised for comfort, bathtub and view, but overall room quality is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.
Amenities
9
Generally positive mentions: good breakfast buffet, AC and reliable hot water, helpful pet accommodations, free drinks and useful facilities; no major negatives about core amenities.
Value for Money
7.8
Mixed perceptions: some guests call it 'incredible value', others feel price is high for dated condition (~200 euros) and small rooms — overall value slightly below average.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Mostly positive breakfast comments ('excellent breakfast', 'good buffet'), with one note of arrogant restaurant staff; overall F&B seen as good.
Overall Experience
10
Overall impressions skew positive: many guests highlight friendly staff, excellent location, comfortable stays, pet-friendly service and good breakfasts; negatives (small rooms, cleanliness issues) are balanced by strong service and location, producing a very positive overall experience.

Benauwend
Pros:

De locatie was prima

Cons:

Er kon geen raam open in de kamer en het ventilatiesysteem werkte niet waardoor het heel
muf en benauwd was in de kamer .
Klagen bij receptie werd niet serieus genomen

Bon rapport qualité prix !
Pros:

L’emplacement, lit confortable, chambre propre, très bonne salle de bain. Le Check out le 31 octobre au matin s’est très bien passé. La personne du Check out était très accueillante!

Cons:

Il fait très chaud, même en mettant le chauffage a 0 (il était froid), on a dû ouvrir la fenêtre pour dormir (on est le 30 octobre). Le check in le 30 octobre a 15h était vraiment moyen, un membre du personnel nous a dit qu’il allait nous conduire à notre chambre, au final il nous accompagne juste dans le premier couloir à côté du check in. Également, parler dans une autre langue entre collègues devant la clientèle n’est pas très poli
