En pleno centro del barrio rojo. Cerca de la estación de tren y en buena zona de bares, restaurantes, etc etc
La cama y la ropa de cama tremendamente confortable.

Cons:

La climatización de la habitación bastante justa.
La escaleras son muy empinadas, pero el.personal te sube las maletas. Nada recomendable para personas con dificultad para moverse.

Mandy and Sue's Great Amsterdam Adventure
Pros:

We had a warm welcome in this small canalside boutique hotel . Low lighting , mirrors and bric a brac set a dramatic backdrop for the cocktail bar in which we enjoyed breakfast every morning. Rosalia's is in central Amsterdam , set amidst colourful shops and cafes .
Our 2 rooms upstairs were individually themed and impeccably clean . The beds were comfy and luxurious . Mine overlooked the busy canal and was surprisingly quiet . A substantial delicious breakfast was provided each morning.

Cons:

The quirky historical building has no lift- we found out only after Booking (and payment). There were a few days of anxiety bouncing between Booking.com and the Owner about its suitability for our stay . We just about managed the steep stairs - they definitely aren't for the elderly frail and disabled (*us) or weak of spirit!

À recommencer.
Pros:

Super séjour, cocooning, très bon petit déjeuner. Personnel discret et très gentil. Petit hôtel privé où l’on monte dans les chambres par une porte dérobée, j’adore. Petit resto et bar à cocktail privé. Très bien placé.

So Perfect for a stay in Amsterdam ❌❌❌
Pros:

Really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable and perfectly located for getting around the city. Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of fresh options, and the bar was a highlight — great atmosphere and very well-made cocktails.

berbat
Pros:

kahvaltı, konum ve çalışanların güleryüzlü olması dışında herşey berbattı,

Cons:

oda çok küçük ve apartman boşluğuna bakıyordu. oda da eskimiş eşya kokusu hakimdi. nevresimler temiz olmasına rağmen rutubet benzeri bir koku vardı.

A peaceful and relaxing stay in an excellent central location.
Pros:

Perfect location for a truly relaxing stay. Although located in the city center, it remains an ideal place to unwind and enjoy some quiet time away from the crowds.

Cons:

The selection of breakfast ingredients and the arrival/check-in process were somewhat confusing.
We didn’t mind, but it’s worth noting that the stairs are very narrow and steep.
