Great location, but the accommodation could be improved
Pros:

The location is excellent, right at the entrance to the Red Light District, making it very convenient for exploring Amsterdam. The room was clean, which was definitely appreciated.

Cons:

The room was very small, especially the bathroom sink, where it was difficult to wash my face without splashing water everywhere. The window let cold air in and offered virtually no sound insulation. Being a Saturday night, it was extremely difficult to sleep due to the noise outside. The stairs leading to the room were also very narrow and steep, with carpeted steps.

Localização perfeita
Pros:

A localização é perfeita, 5 minutos a pé da estação central.
O quarto é limpo e o banheiro grande e confortável.
Fiquei apenas uma noite pq entrei e sai por Amsterda em minha eurotrip. Cheguei com as bagagens antes do chek in e deixei no depósito de bagagem.
Fizemos tudo o que faltava em nossa viagem a pé, p quem gosta de andar é possível, tendo em vista que o transporte em Amsterda é caro perante outros países da Europa, sendo por percurso percorrido p a cobrança. Fomos e voltamos até museu Van Gogh que é mais longe a pé para aproveitar as vistas.
O hotel tem uma escada para subir com as malas, mas já tinha arrumado minhas malas grandes na Bélgica então deixei no depósito de bagagem e só subi com as malas pequenas.
No dia segunda TB deixamos nossas bagagens no depósito pq nosso vôo era somente a noite.
Fomos muito bem recebidos e tratados pelos anfitriões , ganhamos até um café o que veio acalentar o frio que estava fazendo.

Cons:

Gostei de tudo.
