Great deal
Pros:

Fantastic property location, lovely and clean.

Cons:

Only down fall we had was due to the location of the hotel it’s in a busy high traffic area. We have a room on the 1st floor on the front so lots of noise from the high street through the night, however was no fault of the hotel!

Centro di Amsterdam
Pros:

La struttura vanta di una posizione a dir poco fantastica, ti trovi nella posizione centrale di Amsterdam a pochi passi da tutto ma soprattutto dalla stazione.
Lo staff della struttura ci ha dato l’opportunità di lasciare i bagagli sia all’arrivo che alla partenza così da poter girare la città senza impedimenti.
La stanza non era grandissima ma con tutti i comfort necessari ma soprattutto pulita.
Vi consigliamo questa struttura.

Cons:

Posso dire che ci è piaciuto tutto.

Pros:

It's proximity to the city centre and travel options, a comfortable stay with little to no noise interruptions. Shower and bathroom facilities were clean and functional.

Cons:

The TV remote didn't work (the back was duct taped 😂). But to be honest we had enough to do during the day that we didn't need it. Be prepared to climb many flights of stairs though!

Our stay at the Old Nickel Hotel was absolutely fantastic! Daniel (aka Jr) was such a great help with our luggage and re
Pros:

The property was in the best location - close to Amsterdam Centraal, the tram etc. Most of the attractions are within close walking distance; Prime location indeed!

Cons:

Wouldn’t say disliked, but the narrow staircase of the hotel is quite scary; but we managed, and got used to it after a few days.
