The single comfort room is a nice size for a solo traveller. It feels very safe and I love the lounge area downstairs!

Great price for its value!
Pros:

The location was amazing because it's walking distance to museums, Vondelpark and other attractions as Heineken Experience and Canal Tours. It also has a supermarket super close, and other cafés and restaurants.

Cons:

I didn't expect the room to be SO small, but when taking value into account, makes sense. However, they should do something ASAP with the pillows. The pillows are very stiff and bulky. Non desirable for a good and confortable sleep (which was very much needed to avoid jet lag)

First time in Amsterdam
Pros:

Nicely done hotel. Very personal. The street was very quiet, even on Kings Day. Metro is close. Restaurants are close.

Cons:

Sound insulation between walls and floors is thin. We were woken up very early to people exercising in their room. I would never come on Kings Day again!

Great place
Pros:

Loved the location. Away from the touristy spots (although a quick walk to the museums and a quick metro ride to anywhere else. A nice and quiet neighborhood.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn’t like. The bathroom has a slight smell because the room is incredibly small and you have to keep the bathroom door closed to open and close the room door. It’s better when you’re in the room and can keep the door open.
