Pros:

Tesis çalışanları çok iligili ve güler yüzlü idi daha gelmeden ne kadar ilgili olduklarını whatsapp üzerinden mesaj atarak yaptılar konumu çok güzeldi raylı sisteme çok yakındı özellikle araç ile gelecek olanlara anlaşmalı oldukları otoparka bıraktığınız inanılmaz indirim sağlıyorlar tekrar gelip kalır mıyım EVET

Cons:

Tesis genel olarak güzel idi fakat şöyle bir sorun vardı o da sanırım yapının eski ve tarihi olması merdivenler dik ve basamakları çok dar idi asansör ise çok ağır idi naçizane bir öneri odalar terlik ve kulak temizlik çubukları eklenmeli bunlar dışında çok güzel idi

Great location, nice staff but some improvements might make this hotel more pleasant.
Pros:

The location was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

I know they could not offer a full breakfast but some fruit and boiled eggs in addition to the pastries would be more healthy.
Also, if you are on the first floor and you open your window you are subject to second hand smoke from the courtyard area that is quite unpleasant.

A very good hotel, great location if you don't mind a small room to save money
Pros:

The staff are really nice and helpful. They will go above and beyond to solve any issue you have. You can tell this is a family ran business that is there for years and hires good people. They reception is open 24/7. They let you keep things in their fridge - they give you a box to put your stuff in and you get come get it any time. The room has nice amenities, you have a coffee maker and tissue holder. The location is amazing, you can walk to a lot of places or take a very short tram ride. There's a supermarket 2 minutes walk from there, a gym 6 minutes walk and a laundromat 4 minutes walk. They give you a laundry bag if you need. They put out cookies and snacks you can buy and gummy candy you can take for free which is cute. They have a breakfast you can buy - it's not really a breakfast - more like baked pastries you can buy and coffee/tea.

Cons:

The room is very very small. I knew it in advance and they did upgrade me to a room that has a toilet inside it and not outside, but the room is just very very small. My open suitcase took like half of the floor and I had to hop above it to get to the bathroom each time, and I didn't have a lot of space to put my stuff around. I had to stuff the closet with the stuff the hotel put on the desk so I'll have some space to put my own stuff. The window doesn't open all the way because the closet blocks it from opening.

Klare Empfehlung! sollten wir wieder nach Amsterdam kommen, würde ich das Hotel wieder buchen!
Pros:

Authentisches Wohnfeeling, große Zimmer, Gute Lage, nahe bei den Museen, Metro/Tram Station ist um die Ecke, dennoch sind die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichbar, Bootsanleger Grachtenfahrt ebenfalls um die Ecke, Personal sehr freundlich, es gab sogar ein paar Kleinigkeiten zum Frühstück, und die Pflegeprodukte sind der Hammer, habe mir die Serie schon für zu Hause bestellt :0)

Kısa konaklamalar için yeterli
Pros:

Konumu güzeldi, temizdi, çalışanlar ilgiliydi.

Cons:

Klima yerine vantilatör vardı, tv eski modeldi ve ahşap olduğu için diğer odalardan sesler duyuluyordu.
