Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt gar nicht!
Pros:

Lage

Cons:

Für den hohen Preis ( mehr als 250 Euro als Alleinreisende pro Nacht!) wirklich schlecht! Beim Frühstück labbriges Brot, abgepackte Marmelade, Butter, Joghurt etc.- so viel Müll, der hier jeden Morgen entsteht). In den Zimmern nur Pappbecher. Das Wasser in der Dusche wechselt ständig zwischen heiß und kühl. Die Betten sind auf Rollen ( wie im Krankenhaus). In die Ecken sollte man im Badezimmer besser nicht schauen! Das Mobiliar ist alt und dunkel, so auch der Raum insgesamt. Personal beim Frühstück war freundlich, aber nicht an der Rezeption. Es wird nicht gegrüßt wenn man das Hotel betritt und beim Check out wird nicht gefragt ob alles in Ordnung war. Es müsste einiges verbessert werden um den Preis zu rechtfertigen!

Følte meg hjemme og velkommen. Men kunne vært mer oppusset til den prisen.
Pros:

Beliggenheten og hyggelig personale!

Cons:

Vinduer så langt oppe at man ikke får sett ut. Edderkopper og spindelvev i vinduskarmen.

Mon avis personnel..
Pros:

La chambre, la literie très confortable.

Cons:

La douche d'angle, très petite, pour une personne un peu hors limite en poids, il y aura un petit problème à pouvoir bouger dans cette cabine.. !!

La chambre pas trop isolée , on entend la télé du voisin de la chambre d'a côté.
.
Au petit déjeuner , manque de pain frais , sinon rien à redire !

Nice little hotel in the very centre of Amsterdam.
Pros:

Perfect location right off Dam Square, easy access to the whole centre. Breakfast was adequate and the room was nice and quiet despite the central location.

Cons:

Maybe a tad more creativity could improve the breakfast experience.

Excelente ubicación, con habitaciones grandes.
Pros:

Ubicación excelente. Por una parte en calle sin mayor ruido pero a la vez muy cerca de atracciones, estaciones de metro (subway) y tranvía.

Cons:

La cama. Eran 2 camas juntas. Lamentablemente se separaban los colchones fácilmente uno de otro.
Creo que es mejor ofrecer una cama matrimonial o bien 2 camas separadas.

Hôtel avec du positif mais le manque d’eau chaude dans la douche est pénalisant
Pros:

+ Bon emplacement dans la ville
+ Petit déjeuner correct
+ Nous avons apprécié la literie de la chambre, lit très confortable
+ Chambre spacieuse
+ Nous n’avons pas été dérangés par le bruit des chambres voisines

Cons:

- Nous n’avons pas eu d’eau chaude pendant notre séjour, donc les douches n’étaient pas agréables et nous avions froid par la suite dans la chambre, pour le prix payé c’est vraiment rageant
- De la poussière est présente dans la salle de bain
- Prix élevé (+400€ pour deux nuits)
