Lokasyon ve imkanlar açısından Amsterdamda konaklanabilecek en güvenli ve konforlu otellerden biri
Pros:

Kahvaltısı çok iyiydi. Genel olarak Amsterdam’da iyi kahve bulmak zor, oteli makinesinde iyiye yakın bir kahve sunuluyor

Cons:

Girişteki resepsiyon alanı otele göre az kişi ile çalışıyor

Pros:

Lage ist 5-10 Gehminuten( je nachdem ob jung oder älter) zum Bahnhof quasi mitten im Zentrum ( Achtun kann laut werden, ist halt Zentrum)

Cons:

Preis Leistung...kleines Zimmer, schräger Boden ( Ball rollt diagonal durchs Zimmer) dadurch war das Bett so schief das wir Kopf ans Fussende legten ( nein Scherz), Ssuberkeit naja ok für 3 Stern aber nicht für 4 Sterne...Rezeption je nach dem von schwach bis gut

Great Location
Pros:

The location is superb as you're bang in the centre of Amsterdam and the beds were comfy. The reception staff were very welcoming and friendly too.

Cons:

The bathroom was tiny which made showering more of a challenge. Also the man in charge of breakfast service wasn't aht you'd call friendly.

HORRIBLE for Families!!! DONT BOOK AND RUN!!!
Cons:

Absolutely terrible experience — avoid this hotel if you are traveling with family or children.

We booked two rooms through Booking.com for 3 adults and 2 young children (ages 3 and 5), fully in line with the hotel’s stated policy that children aged 2–11 stay free of charge. Even the shift manager confirmed this policy upon arrival.

Despite this, after a 7-hour flight, the hotel REFUSED to let us check in and kept us waiting from 9 AM until 3 PM with two exhausted children, a stroller, and multiple bags, while repeatedly saying they were “waiting for a response from management.”

No solution was ever offered.

To make matters worse, we were later told that because it was a holiday weekend, nobody would respond until AFTER the weekend — leaving us stranded in Amsterdam during one of the busiest weekends of the year with almost no accommodation options available.

The staff showed zero accountability, poor communication, and complete disregard for families traveling with young children. We paid nearly EUR 2,000 expecting a reliable and comfortable stay, and instead our entire Amsterdam trip was disrupted before it even began.

If you value professionalism, clear communication, or basic customer care, do NOT book this hotel — especially if you are traveling with kids. This was one of the worst hotel experiences we have ever had.

Great spot, but it was expensive
Pros:

Great location, very quiet in the room. It was busy and touristy out the front but super quiet inside.

Cons:

It was quite expensive when I booked, perhaps due to the long weekend. We paid approx $500 USD per night. We stayed 5 nights.

Güleryüzlü ve kaliteli temiz hizmet.
Pros:

Otelin konumu çok iyi. Odaları temiz ve kompakt aşırı büyük odalar yok ama işlevsel. Ayrıca check out yaptıktan sonra isterseniz valizlerinizi akşam 21:00 e kadar kilitli dolaplarında ücretsiz muhafaza ediyorlar, Amsterdam gibi bir yer için bence süper bir hizmet.

Cons:

Odalar bir tık ufak ama işlevsel.

Pros:

The location was excellent, within walking distance to almost everything and the tram was on the street in front. The breakfast was very good with many choices. The room was a little small but that's all we needed.
