Wait for the renovations to end for access to better rooms
Pros:

Location is a 5-min walk from Amsterdam Centraal which is a bonus point.

Cons:

Room lacks a window and it felt a bit suffocating. The fridge is just like a tiny cupboard with a blue light - no cooling, whatsoever. Staff can be more helpful.
The hotel is currently undergoing renovations and maybe there will be better rooms after July

Preis im Vergleich zu hochpreis Hotels zu hoch
Pros:

Unkompliziert, gute Lage Nähe meines Ziel Ortes, zentral, freundlich

Cons:

Zimmer klein und kalt. Musste für zusätzliche Bett Decke fragen, die ich anstandslos, aber erst beim zufälligen Antreffen von Personal, erhalten hatte.

Pros:

Très bon rapport qualité prix, proximité imédiate avec la gare et les lieux d'intérêt ! le personnel de l'hôtel a été très arrangeant et aimable avec nous. Nous avions pris les chambres sans fenêtres qui constituaient un très bon compromis
