We had a lovely stay and I will probably stay here again on my next visit to Amsterdam
Pros:

It was in a quieter area, but was still very convenient. There is an Albert Heijn, a Kruidvat, and a tram stop at the end of the block. The parking lot is EasyPark compatible and free after 19:00 and on Sundays.
Free breakfast is always a plus. And Alexandra at the front desk is awesome!

Cons:

There are not many restaurants or much shopping in the area. If you’re looking for these things or nightlife right outside your door, this isn’t the area you want. (But if you’re looking for something more lowkey like we were, this is great!)

Pros:

Het personeel was aardig

Cons:

Het bed kraakte bij elke draai die ik maakte. Dit verwacht je niet van een hotel waar je 180 euro per nacht voor betaald.

Pros:

Tolles Hotel mit unglaublich netten Mitarbeitern.

Das Frühstücksbuffet ist überschaubar aber für jeden etwas dabei und man wird satt.

Die Zimmerreinigung ist sehr gründlich.

Die Lage ist optimal, in nur wenigen Metern gibt es alltägliche Geschäfte fußläufig zu erreichen

Pros:

everything was amazing, service, comfortable, food, all good

Cons:

location is far from city center, and on the specific dates I traveled there was a repair in the exact line that goes by, so I had to take 3 different transports to go to and from. without that repair in would've been just one

Pros:

Ich hatte einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt im Hotel. Das Zimmer war sauber, ruhig und sehr komfortabel. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit, sodass man sich sofort willkommen fühlt.

Besonders hervorheben möchte ich das Frühstück. Es war sehr lecker und es gab eine gute Auswahl an frischen Speisen und Getränken. Alles war schön vorbereitet und man konnte entspannt in den Tag starten.

Ich kann dieses Hotel auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen und komme gerne wieder!
