Pros:

Staff were great, location great, right on the canal.

Cons:

It is an older place with smaller rooms and no air con. It was warmer weather when we stayed there, so air con would have helped a lot at night. We opened windows, but there are no screens and so mosquitos were a bit of a problem being so close to canal.

One night layover in Amsterdam
Pros:

Nice little hotel by the canal with good location. Beautiful neighborhood but short walking distance to the Dam and the Central Station. Very friendly staff. Our room (bigger room for 4 people) had also AC, I understood that the other rooms probably don't. Breakfast was also good for the price as Amsterdam is an expensive city in all aspects, so good value for the money.

Buena ubicación!
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, estás en lindo canal y cerca de todo. El desayuno es básico pero muy bueno. Tiene buena presión en la ducha.

Cons:

Si bien elegimos el cuarto pequeño, es incómodo y hace mucho calor, no circula el aire. El baño también es muy chico.

Pleasant hotel but pricey for three stars
Pros:

Great location in the canal district, near the Jordaan. Room was small but comfortable. No air conditioning in summer but windows opened & there was a fan. Staff were very friendly!

Cons:

No fridge. No air conditioning. Very expensive for a three star hotel but was in a great location! Rooms are very small & up steep steps (common in Netherlands). Underwhelming for the price!

Pros:

Super location - near more local type of restaurants and stores, rather than big name international places you see in every city. It’s QUIET at night. Beautiful canal views. Just note, it has the traditional skinny steep stairs. The view is worth it though!

Cons:

The steep stairs would be a challenge for some, but you get used to them

Sporco, scale da incubo e caldo.
Pros:

La posizione

Cons:

Sporchissima, non c’è l’aria condizionata e noi eravamo lì in giornate estremamente calde e il ventilatore che avevamo in camera era ricoperto di polvere. Bisognava lasciare la finestra aperta e riposare risultava molto difficile perché la strada era rumorosa prima con gli schiamazzi poi con i lavori stradali. Tutta la camera era sporca. Il letto veramente molto piccolo. La scala per accedere alla stanza con le valigie improponibili. La colazione veramente scarsa e triste.
