Get rid of the mosquitoes in November
Pros:

It was close to where I had to be

Cons:

The room was full of mosquitoes, at least 7 or 8 in November. I asked the staff to address the issue. I left for dinner and, after I returned, the staff confirmed that the issue was solved. After 30 minutes being back in the room, I found and killed two more mosquitoes. During the night, I heard more flying around and disrupting my sleep. In the morning, I found at least four more. The staff was polite, but the situation was not addressed after I had been guaranteed that it was sorted. This is not “boutique level hospitality.

Nettes Hotel für Kurzaufenthalt mit kleinem Gepäck
Pros:

De Pijp ist ideal für einen kurzen Amsterdam-Besuch, Die Innenstadt und die Museen sind fußläufig erreichbar. Die Gegend ist aber ruhiger als die Innenstadt.
Hübsche Lobby mit Kaffeemaschine, die den ganzen Tag kostenlos zur Verfügung steht.
Kofferaufbewahrung ohen Extrakosten.
Personal an der Rezeption sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit,
Sehr bequemes Bett.

Cons:

Zimmer (Doppelzimmer) sehr klein. Kein Schrank, winziges Bad.
Heizung im Zimmer nicht leistungsfähig genug.
Frühstücksbuffet ist eher mager, allerdings auch recht preiswert.

Pros:

They gave me an upgrade to a really big room with balcony, it was super comfortable. The location is exceptional and the staff super lovely.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the rooms are too noisy. I could hear everything from upstairs and outside. There is a children's school just behind the hotel and the screams in the morning were insane. Also, since you can hear everything from other rooms, when they are cleaning it's super noisy.
