An excellent place to stay when visiting Amsterdam centre, only let down by the warm room.
Pros:

A great location in the city centre. Very adequate wifi and very helpful and cordial staff.

Cons:

The room was too hot even though outside it was around 5-7 degrees C and the heating was turned off. However the staff provided a fan which eased the heat considerably.

Pobyt bardzo udany, spełnił moje oczekiwania.
Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja w centrum starego miasta. Dużo knajpek w okolicy, chińskich i tajskich. Blisko pieszo do najważniejszych galerii i muzeów w Amsterdamie, które były celem wycieczki.

Cons:

Głośne towarzystwo na ulicy do późnych godzin nocnych (czasem do 3-ciej w nocy). No, ale to w końcu centrum starego miasta...

Pros:

L’emplacement

Cons:

La télévision ne fonctionne pas.
La fenêtre était petite et situé a la limite du plafond, la pièce était donc sombre et claustrophobique.
