Very good! Perfect!
Pros:

Everything was perfect! The hotel is excellent and very clean, with top-notch service. The housekeeper changed the towels and cleaned the room every day. The hotel is extremely well connected with all city transport lines. There are plenty of supermarkets nearby, and a Lidl is just two streets away. The reception desk works 24/7, and the staff is always at your service. Additionally, the hotel offers bike rentals, which I highly recommend for exploring the city.

Cons:

It might look a bit far from the center, but it's actually very quick and easy to get there using the public transport lines

Pros:

Room was decent. Venue was very helpful in accommodating requests, from bicycle rental to helping out after leaving something behind on our way to the airport and facilitating a speedy handover so we could make our flight.

Cons:

Depending on what you want to do in Amsterdam, it does feel a little far out. This was a win, with the airport note above, as the return trip from the airport was quick.

Чудовий готель!
Pros:

Чудове розташування готелю, чистий, сучасний, комфортний. Один з найпривітніших персоналів, яких ми зустрічали поотягом останніх років - за це особлива подяка!
Смачний різноманітний сніданок.
З рецепції - вихід на паркувальний майданчик Q-Park. Він не відноситься до готелю, але саме там найзручніш паркувати авто. Великий, добре освітлений, закритий паркінг, допустима висота авто - 2.10 м. Найкраще оплатити місце заздалегідь на сайті паркингу, так Ваші номери на в'їзді та виїзді будуть автоматично зчитані й не потрібно буде ганяти втомленому мандрівнику по величезному паркінгу в пошуках автомата для оплати паркування.
Всім - гарного відпочинку та крутих мандрів!

Cons:

Трохи підкачала звукоізоляція між номерами, але людям було добре й - прекрасно 🤣🤣🤣
