Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable. El personal es agradable. Las camas son cómodas a pesar de ser pequeñas.

Cons:

La habitación era pequeña, aunque decente. Hacía calor a pesar de los ventiladores. La ducha no está separada físicamente del resto del baño.

Correcto y trato agradable
Pros:

Es un hotel sin muchas pretensiones pero que cumple su función si lo que quieres es visitar Amsterdam y descansar cuando toca.
La verdad es que el colchón es muy cómodo. El lugar próximo a cualquier punto de la ciudad.
El trato recibido muy bueno.

Cons:

Ninguna queja. Si hay que sacar un defecto son sus escaleras...pero estamos en Amsterdam, no lo olvidemos!!!!
Ha faltado algún espejo y un armario.

Bien ubicado y excelente atención del personal.
Pros:

El hotel cuenta con una excelente ubicación, es un lugar seguro y estaba limpio. Estuve en el tercer piso con vista a la calle; la habitación cuenta con ventilador, muy útil en los días calurosos del verano. El personal fue atento y me resguardaron mi equipaje por 8 horas después de mi check-out,

Cons:

La cama estaba un poco incómoda, pero con el cansancio casi no se notó.

Bardzo przyzwoity hotelik w świetnej lokalizacji
Pros:

Świetna lokalizacja w ścisłym centrum i przy dworcu centralnym. Możliwość bezpłatnego pozostawienia bagażu.

Cons:

Ogólna czystość ok tylko stary budynek i ściany brudne i to psuło trochę pozytywne wrażenie. Bardzo głośno wieczorem. Polecam zatyczki do uszu.

L’unico problema il rumore di notte dalla strada, x il resto tutto bello
Pros:

Nella stanza sempre pulita , vicino a tutto mezzi pubblici,

Cons:

Che sarebbe stato bello se ci fosse un piccolo microonde , che le finestre fossero anti rumore xche le stanze che le finestre sono verso la strada si sente di notte un rumore assurdo dalla strada xcui bisognerebbe mettere finestre apposta anti rumore
