Было прекрасно! Местоположение Отеля недалеко от центра, в прекрасном парке. Приятно остановиться с детьми. Отель размещены в бывшем костёле, что позволяет погрузиться в древнюю историю Амстредама.

Pros:

Funky hotel in the Oosterpark, is original

Cons:

Less mobile people will have difficulties getting up the stairs to the loft bed. They forgot to place fresh towels in the room. The carpet in the hallway needs replacing (the room itself was clean).

Very Enjoyable Stay
Pros:

We had a lovely stay here for three nights. Rooms air conditoned, modern and very clean. Short walk to tram or metro for easy access to the city centre. Lovely quiet area. We booked 2 rooms for our two teenagers and ourselves. We had to pay a €300 deposit for the three nights which was fully refunded within a few days. Staff very friendly and great locker facilities to store your luggage.

Choose room carefully
Pros:

Good location and easy to get around the city area

Cons:

Room was not great; very expensive; disappointing room layout. Our room was in the Attic area- couldn’t access the bed from one side, no privacy in the bathroom which was very weird and awful noise from air conditioning unit above the room.
