I could swear there was supposed to be an AC in the room but there wasn't. It was very hot. The smell in the room was weird, something like urine.

Overall the stay was lovely!
Pros:

Perfect location, room space, Dutch feel, view into a garden and a large bathroom. The hologram check-in was interesting.

Cons:

Hard mattress, no fan, door kept slamming down the hall on the second floor which was startling.

Great for a city break
Pros:

This was my third stay at this hotel. It is a great location. Breakfast is good. It is lovely to be able to sit in the bar/breakfast area looking over the garden. The access to hot drinks is really appreciated. Amsterdam is not a cheap city but this hotel is as good value as you find, I think. Short walk to Museumplein, to tram stops and close to Vondelpark - great for jogging.

Prinsen again and again !
Pros:

This is my second stay at Prinsen hotel, I booked a double room this time as the only thing I didn’t like about my first stay was the size of the single bedroom.
It had greatly improved my whole experience at the hotel as I was more comfortable in a double bedroom. And the bathroom is newly renovated and very clean.

Cons:

Nothing! Everything was great this time.

Prinsen is perfect for few days in Amsterdam
Pros:

The location is the best if you are looking to walk to town center and very close to lots of museums. The virtual host is very helpful and response quickly. There is tea and coffee 24/7. There is also a cute garden in the back for smokers. The hotel in general is very clean and the security is great as there is a security person who comes around multiple times in the night to make sure guests are safe when coming in late.

Cons:

The room is very tiny and even though the carpets in my room look clean it felt kind of weird under my feet.

A UNIQUELY CHARMING GEM NEAR EVERYTHING YET OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
Pros:

WE LOVED OUR ROOMS (40 AND 50) NEXT TO EACH OTHER WITH BALCONIES OVERLOOKING THE GARDEN . VERY AMIABLE AND HELPFUL STAFF. THE LOCATION IS VERY GOOD, A QUIET SPOT NEAR VONDEL PARK AND THE Leidseplein. IT IS AN EASY WALK TO THE CANAL ZONE, THE JORDAN, PARKS AND SHOPPING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
