Pros:

Das nötigste auf kleinstem Raum, gut organisiert.
Stil ist hübsch, alles sauber, Regelung mit Türöffner per Handy auch perfekt.
Kaffee aus dem Automaten ist besser als gedacht, noch nie trinkbaren Kaffee aus so einem Automaten bekommen.

Cons:

Die Dusche sieht gut aus, Shampoo und Conditioner von Rituals vorhanden, allerdings tröpfelt das Wasser nur und es war definitiv kein schönes Duschlerlebnis. Außerdem hätten hier und da noch Haken oder Ablageflächen angebracht werden können, das war sehr sperrlich.

Zeker een aanrader!!
Pros:

Zeer aangename kamers, zeer proper en modern. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig. Zicht op het water.

Good location, sub par hotel
Pros:

Very nice location, quiet and out of the centre

Cons:

A jacket I left in the room had bleach spilled on it by a cleaner, leaving a very noticeable white spot on a grey jacket. Shower in our room also barely worked, would have been better off spitting on each others heads of a morning. Both issues were impossible to have resolved as staff are only available 10-3pm (seemingly not on weekends)

Great location, close to museums,very pleasant place
Pros:

Good location, generous with coffee,tea, had access to fridge, microwave, common space

Cons:

The electrical outlets were tricky to work. Could not figure out how to have one socket on without lights on
Also our unit had stairs in it. To a loft bed area That should be clear in presentation of the rooms. We were fine with it, even though we are in our 70’s but might be hard for some folks. There is an elevator in general, but this is in the room

İdeal konum, tatlı oda ve kanallar
Pros:

Amsterdam’a gelmeyi düşünenlere Dam Square bölgesi olan aşırı turistik bölgelerde kalmalarını önermiyorum. Amsterdam çok estetik ve güzel bir yer. Güzelliğini de kanallarına ve binalarına borçlu. Otelin konumu da kanallarda gezmek veya birçok yere gitmek için elverişli. Her yere aşırı yakın değilsiniz ama tüm o “taksim” tantanasının da içinde değilsiniz. Bir cep linki üzerinden otele giriş yapıyorsunuz. Bu linkin nasıl çalıştığını anlamadığımız için resepsiyondakiler biraz hödükçe davrandılar ama otelin kendisi ve olanakları çok güzeldi. Tek fiziki eksiklik, duş suyunun çok tazyikli akmaması ama onu da sorun etmedik yani.

Cons:

Duş başlığı, resepsiyon görevlileri
