pour une nuit, passable!
Pros:

L'emplacement avec des transports en commun proches.

Cons:

Le rapport qualité prix est vraiment pas terrible. Les draps du lit d'appoint ne semblaient pas propre.
Des tâches un peu partout au niveau des rideaux.

Preisgünstige, sichere und saubere Unterkunft für Reisende ohne großen Ansprüche.
Pros:

Bequemes, ruhiges und preisgünstiges Zimmer, mit guter ÖPNV Anbindung an die Innenstadt von Amsterdam. Supermarkt (Albert Hein) in Fußnähe. Im Lobbybereich gibt es ausreichend Plätze um am Laptop zu arbeiten. Gute Schallisolierung, obwohl in der Einflugschneise von Schiphol, hört man die Flieger nicht.
Das Nachbarhotel (direkt nebenan) hat einen schönen Bar mit Rooftop-Terrasse.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war relativ klein, 90% der Fläche wurde vom (bequemen) 2-Personsbett eingenommen. Es fehlte ein Kleiderschrank sowie ein Schreibtisch. Der Koffer passte gerade zwischen Bett und Fensterwand. Für längeres Arbeiten am Laptop sollte man sich im Lobbybereich einen Tisch suchen.

Excellent breakfast. Maria at reception is very friendly and gave amazing suggestions for our itinerary, thanks a lot! R
Pros:

Great location beside the tram stop. Large beautiful park 15 mins away by bike.

Cons:

Cleanliness. Awful bathroom stains from multiple previous guests. The once in 3 days room service consisted of emptying bins and change of towels only. No one vacuumed the floors. Cleanliness of the room was bad.
