Pros:

Pusryčiai tikrai geri, vidutinis pasirinkimas, viskas kaip pavaizduota nuotraukose. Kiaušinienė labai skani. Kavos pasirinkimas platus.

Cons:

Pusryčiuose trūko begliuteninių produktų ir pieno produktų alternatyvų, pvz: sojos pieno pakaitalo ar kitokio.

Pros:

Pequeno-almoço variado. Quarto limpo e moderno. Zona bastante sossegada. Muito acessível ao tram. Em 10 minutos estamos no centro da cidade. Funcionários muito simpáticos!

Cons:

Não sabíamos que o quarto era no piso -1… não tínhamos qualquer vista, a não ser para o pequeno terraço do quarto. O ralo da banheira estava entupido, o que fez com que o chão da casa de banho ficasse com água algumas vezes. O ar condicionado também não estava a funcionar muito bem. Poucas cruzetas para pendurar a roupa.

Heerlijk plekje in Amsterdam
Pros:

Comfortabel, schoon en stil, dat is toch wat je zoekt in een hotel en daar scoort dit hotel hoog! Ontbijt was ook heel prima, ondanks dat men zich een beetje indekt dat het een 'eenvoudig' ontbijt is. Tijdslot kiezen voor het ontbijt voelt een beetje stom, maar is uiteindelijk heel fijn: scheelt wachten. Korting op parkeren in nabijgelegen parkeergarage (Qpark Waterlooplein) is ook echt een uitkomst, scheelt heel veel geld! Dit is er eentje om te onthouden voor een volgend verblijf!
