Pros:

Velmi dobrá lokalita na návštěvu města. Zajímavý interiér. Klidné místo.

Cons:

Z peněženek, které jsme měli na pokoji nám byly odcizeny peníze. Vzhledem k tomu, že jedna záložní peněženka byla 3 ze 4 dní v trezoru a když nebyla, byla na dveřích ceduje že nechceme uklidit, je více než jasné, že nám na pokoj vešel někdo bez našeho souhlasu a nebo nás okradl někdo, kdo má neomezený přístup do trezoru. Vzhledem k tomu, že jsme používali pouze kartu a omezenou hotovost, kterou jsme měli v "denní" peněžence jsme tento fakt bohužel zjistili až po návratu do ČR. Pokoj byl velmi malý a tmavý, byl zde nedostatek odkládacích prostor a mohl by být lépe uklizený . Snídaně vzhledem k ceně velmi jednoduché, malý výběr a téměř žádná obměna.
EN:
Money was stolen from the wallets we had in the room. Considering that one spare wallet was in the safe for 3 out of 4 days and when it wasn't, it was on the door saying that we don't want to clean it, it is more than clear that someone entered our room without our consent or that we were robbed by someone who has unlimited access to the safe. Considering that we only used a card and the limited cash that we had in our "daily" wallet, we unfortunately found out about this fact only after returning to the Czech Republic. The room was very small and dark, there was a lack of storage space and it could have been cleaned better.. Breakfast was very simple considering the price, small selection and almost no variety.

Linda estadía en Ámsterdam Manuel luego desde cuál fue tu nivel de satisfacción con la habitación co
Pros:

El desayuno y la ubicación

Cons:

La habitación era muy pequeña y poco luminosa.
Deberían haber agregado una luz sobre la cama.
El baño queda con humedad deberían mejorar la extracción de humedad.

Deja mucho que desear calidad-precio
Pros:

Ubicación y desayuno.

Cons:

La habitación dejaba mucho que desear, oscura y con mobiliario anticuado. Pedí durante la estancia el cambio de habitación a través del chat de booking y no obtuve respuesta (la reserva fue para mis padres).
Así mismo, in situ les pidieron factura y no se la facilitaron, he tenido que tramitarla a posteriori después de la estancia.

Almost 10 except for the breakfast.
Pros:

Located close to the downtown area. It was easy to walk to the museum quarter to catch Tram to the Central Station.

Cons:

The breakfast is overrated. The scrambled eggs were a little dry, juice was limited, the price a little high for what was available and the seating crowded.

Decent hotel for a few nights
Pros:

Good transport link. Close to Van Gogh museum and beautiful park. Friendly staff and decent hotel for a few nights' stay

Cons:

Quite expensive for what you get. 25 min on foot from central Amsterdam. The room was on the shady side and quite small.
