Schöner Aufenthalt in Amsterdam
Pros:

Die Unterkunft liegt direkt am Park und auch etwas ausserhalb, weshalb es sehr ruhig war. Auch toll, dass das Hotel eine Bar/Restaurant hat. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und mit dem Tram ist man auch schnell in der Innenstadt. Die Unterkunft können wir gut empfehlen.

Fantastic large room, wonderful and quiet.
Pros:

Great facility, very large room and restaurant overlooks beautiful park and pond. Fantastic service, highly recommend this facility. It is a large previous orphanage being restored. Not in the center of town, which makes it very quiet and peaceful.

Cons:

It takes a taxi ride to downtown, but this place is worth it!!!

Un bel endroit qui reste cher.
Pros:

L’emplacement de l’hôtel et la beauté du lieu ainsi que la partie extérieure pour prendre le petit déjeuner

Cons:

Ils ont mis des sur matelas sur les lits et ils étaient constamment en train de glisser. Le prix du parking alors qu’on loge dans l’hôtel. Les plats du restaurant étaient assez élevés et sans garniture, un peu abusé tout de même.
