Good cute stay
Pros:

Great location, lovely interior, good service when people are there

Cons:

The automatic check in and check out without a person there (outside of the opening times of the below restaurant) made it difficult to leave baggage before or be flexible with check in and check out

Nice but wouldn't stay again
Pros:

They offer vouchers for the coffee shop next door which was a nice touch!
Very minimalist hotel but it was well decorated and clean
Comfortable bed and nice pillows

Cons:

There is no reception or lobby (which is fine) but the main entrance door was open when I arrived at 7pm. When I left for dinner shortly after, the door was left open again. And when I left in the morning at 9am, the door was left open again. It happened about 5x in a 2 night stay. Anyone could have walked in off the street and entered the property which was very unsettling.
Also as other guests have mentioned, the property has no sound proofing and the noise inside and outside was less than ideal. The hotel provided ear plugs but they unfortunately didn't help when construction work started at 8am outside.
The bathroom smelled of drains.

A comfortable accommodation in a great location canals comd
Pros:

Great location within walking distance of the central train station. The staff at the restaurant and hotel were so lovely and made us feel so welcome! Comfortable bed and high quality linens. The complimentary coffee and pastry from Good Beans was such a great touch as well.

Greay place for reasonable price, good location and authentic experience.
Pros:

Nostalgic and well organized. A house room, rather than a hotel. Staff was great, easy going and helping human; not duty people. Fulfilling all the basic needs from filter coffee to a clean bed. A full bottle of drinking water ready on the bed side was very loving for me. And loved the 100% lamb wool blanket 🙏❤️

Cons:

All well thought.

Pros:

Great spot and lovely staff! The deal with good beans across the road was great

Cons:

The room is quite small for two adults with big suitcases but that is to be expected for Amsterdam
