Pros:

Great location within walking distance of the central train station. The staff at the restaurant and hotel were so lovely and made us feel so welcome! Comfortable bed and high quality linens. The complimentary coffee and pastry from Good Beans was such a great touch as well.

Greay place for reasonable price, good location and authentic experience.
Pros:

Nostalgic and well organized. A house room, rather than a hotel. Staff was great, easy going and helping human; not duty people. Fulfilling all the basic needs from filter coffee to a clean bed. A full bottle of drinking water ready on the bed side was very loving for me. And loved the 100% lamb wool blanket 🙏❤️

Cons:

All well thought.

Great spot and lovely staff! The deal with good beans across the road was great

Cons:

The room is quite small for two adults with big suitcases but that is to be expected for Amsterdam

Pros:

Great location, super friendly staff at check in. Loved the traditional feel of the room. Comfortable bed and pillows.

Cons:

Bathroom didn't smell particularly great. Toilet cistern water ran continuously. Also would have appreciated a way to have the window open for some fresh air in the room, it opened but no way to way to stay opened without holding it.

Exceptionally friendly & welcoming
Pros:

Comfy bed, good shower, exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, and all clean. The place has the feeling of a traditional Amsterdam building, with narrow stairs & large ceiling beams. They let me sit in the (closed) restaurant after checking out, as I had some work to finish, which helped me a lot. It's a good area with lots of places to eat & drink, & not far to walk into the city centre & train station.

Cons:

There was a little noise outside early on but it didn't continue late into the night, so that's fine. I think the value was ok compared to Amsterdam hotel prices, though it still seemed a bit high to me for a good but basic room.
