Amei!!

Hotel excelente! Quarto fofo, limpo. O café é bem bacana. Tem uma funcionária maravilhosa que faz ovos mexidos e panquecas.

Cons:

O quarto é realmente pequeno. Porém entendo que essa é uma questão do pais mesmo, então na tem muito o que fazer sobre isso.

Pros:

The hotel is in a quiet location but easy to get to public transport and the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. The staff were very friendly and the room, although small was very clean and nicely furnished. I would stay here again.

Pros:

Cute hotel, great location and walkable to a lot of great neighborhoods

Cons:

It could’ve been a bit cleaner. I wouldn’t say it was dirty but there were definitely areas where they neglected to dust. Most of the staff wasn’t overly friendly

Pros:

This was just the perfect hotel for us. Great location, in walking distance from everything, and on the tram line (4) from the central station. Great places to eat and drink nearby but still on a quiet street The staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble and everything was thought of in the hotel.

Cons:

Nothing!

A different room would have been perfect.
Pros:

I loved the location and the staff.

Cons:

Our room was in the basement with no window view. Also, there was a sewer smell in the bathroom. The pad on the one bed had sand, a urine stain and a black hair.
