Perfecto todo, lo mejor la ubicación y el edificio¡¡
Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable, en pleno centro, muy cerca de la estación central y la plaza Dam, pero a la vez muy muy tranquila, el hotel esta en una casa típica de Amsterdan, por lo que tiene escaleras indias, pero es parte de su encanto¡¡¡

Cons:

No se me ocurre nada la verdad.

Good location, but very basic and small.
Pros:

Location is great in the centre on a pretty canal, room was quiet.

Cons:

Room was very basic, a bed, sink, and shower directly in the corner of the room with no separation. The room was very small at about 3m by 4m perhaps. Toilet was communal in the corridor. Whilst this basic experience is not problematic, I feel the price and the advertising were suggesting of more luxury.

Petit hôtel charmant a l'allure année 50
Pros:

J'ai aimer le cadre un peu vintage, l'emplacement, la vue sur le canal. Le petit déjeuner

Cons:

Je dirais juste les escaliers très raide, la porte de la salle de bain qui ne fermer pas

Huzur
Pros:

Girişi ve binanın dışı harikaydı. Çiçekler mükemmeldi. Hauvansever olması çok iyiydi dışarda da su kabı vardı. İç tasarımı çok hoştu. Temizdi. Personel çok güleryüzlüydü. Heryere yürüdük hep inanılmaz iyi bir konumda ve 3 kanal birleşiminde bir manzarası vardı

Cons:

En üst katta olmaktan dolayı merdivenler zordu. Aşırı sıcak havada geldik klima olmaması odada ve çok eski tip bir pervane olması bizi zorladı güneş vurduğunda dışarıda olmak zorunda kaldık

A beautiful and quiet base in the centre of Amsterdam
Pros:

The location is outstanding, right in the heart of the Canal District, very handy to Centraal and the Dam. It is also nice and quiet, even though you're in the centre of Amsterdam. The room is spacious and comfortable.

Cons:

The breakfast options could have been better. The quality is good, but the options were not great for my wife who is vegan.

Hôtel typique et fun idéalement situé en bord de canal
Pros:

La localisation, le personnel, la décoration des chambres (les paniers de baskets, le tourne disque)

Cons:

Petits-déjeuners un peu légers (manque de choix et réapprovisionnement pas toujours au bon timing)

WARNING BED BUGS
Pros:

Ett fint ställe med bra läge.

Cons:

Vi fick alla 3 vägglöss. Hotellet svarade inte på e-post, jag hoppas de har sanerat rummet. Booking.com hjälpte oss att försöka få ersättning (enligt villkoren behöver de inte göra något) och vi har nu fått 85 euro att använda på booking.com. Vistelsen kostade 500euro per natt. Hotellet var inte överhuvudtaget intresserade av att samarbeta.
Vidare erbjuder de att de inte städar när man är där och får då en drink i baren. Det visade sig betyda en styck, inte en var och dessutom selekterat det som för dem är billigast. Snålt och dåligt.

Vi avråder starkt från att bo på detta hotell.

Restful, welcoming and rejuvenating
Pros:

The property sat on the a beautiful canal strip with beautiful views and was walking distance to the heart of Amsterdam. The protest was decorated in a quirky style. Loved the books and vinyl records. Really loved the decor

Cons:

Not for those with any mobility issues or ailments as the steps to some of the rooms are quite steep.
