Prima hotel voor bezoek aan Amsterdam
Pros:

Prima hotel voor een bezoek aan Amsterdam. Op enkele minuten lopen ligt een tramhalte, waarmee je in 20 minuten op de grachten bent. Naast het hotel ligt een ruime parkeerplaats, slechts 15 euro per dag. Kamer was schoon, vriendelijk personeel. Prima ontbijt, niet heel uitgebreid.

Overpriced voor wat het maar was.
Cons:

Er was heel veel lawaai s’ nachts op de gang, luidde muziek. Totaal geen respect voor andere hotelgasten.
