Pros:

Location was great, walking distance to the city and several nice cafe's and restaurants. Quiet area as well.
The rooms are small, but that's ok, since I only needed a place to sleep.

Pros:

The hotel has two buildings, both typical Amsterdam houses, located in a very authentic neighborhood that doesn’t feel touristy or commercial at all. The neighbors greet you every time you see them. Just around the corner is one of the nicest areas for restaurants, bistros, and coffee shops, which seem to be mostly frequented by locals.
The room and bathroom are spacious and comfortable.

Hôtel de charme confortable et très bien situé
Pros:

Excellente situation pour venir de la gare centrale et pour se déplacer là où l'on voulait. L'hôtel est dans une rue tranquille.
La chambre était grande ainsi que la salle de bains, avec de bons équipements.
Bon accueil.
Nous avons apprécié de prendre un café dans la cour intérieure, très agréable avec la chaleur extérieure.
De nombreux cafés ou restaurants à proximité pour le petit-déjeuner.

Cons:

Il faisait très chaud le week-end où nous y étions et nous avons eu très chaud dans la chambre la nuit.
On entend très bien les voisins rentrer dans leur chambre... J'ai regretté que la lumière reste allumée sur le palier toute la nuit.

Gute Unterkunft
Pros:

Super Lage, nettes Personal

Cons:

man hört sehr viel von den benachbarten Zimmern, und auch gegen aussen ist es nicht gut isoliert. Im Sommer sehr heiss und stickig, da keine Klimaanlage.

Es gab nichts zu bemängeln.
