Pros:

Besides the lovely hotel and staff we really appreciated location. Location was excellent, we walked from the hotel to the centre and to all the main attractions. Public transport from the airport to the hotel was easy. Rembrandt's square is close by foot and we would spend our evenings there, lots of caffees and restaurants. Our room was clean, we had coffee maker which was lovely bonus. Hope to visit this beautiful place again 🤗

Cons:

Nothing to add

Konum mükemmel, otel temiz ve eşyalar eski değildi. Oda yeteri büyüklükteydi, ısınma ya da sıcak su problemi yaşamadık.

Cons:

Excellent stay at Hotel Asterisk
Pros:

We stayed at Hotel Asterisk during our Europe trip and it was one of our best hotel experiences
The hotel is very clean and quiet, which makes it perfect to relax after visiting the busy center of Amsterdam during the day I really recommend staying here instead of in the city center: you can easily go there for all the visits and come back to enjoy the calm at night. The staff were very kind and even offered me a small symbolic gift, which made the stay even more special

Otel temiz, personeller ilgili ve otelin konumu çok iyi. Keyifli bir vakit geçirdik.
Pros:

Arkadaşımla beraber Kasım sonu - Aralık başı gibi konakladık. Kahvaltı dahil konaklamadık, temizliği yeterli idi. Otelin konumu çok iyiydi, tramvay istasyonlarından birine çok yakındı. Küçük ve şirin bir oteldi, personeller de güler yüzlü ve anlayışlıydı. Çay ve kahve ikramı vardı. Oda sıcacıktı, Amsterdam soğuğunda bu durumdan çok memnun kaldık.

Cons:

Otelin ek binasında kaldık. Ana binada da öyle mi bilmiyorum fakat ek binada merdivenler çok dikti. Çok yüksek katta değildik ama merdivenler yüzünden asansör beklemek zorunda kaldık. Çok büyük bir sorun değildi.
