La limpieza de la moqueta y las camas, la mía era muy delgada.

Pros:

Henkilökunta mahtavaa, erinomainen sijainti

Cons:

Huone oli melko lämmin, vaikka ulkona oli hädintuskin 20 astetta. Toki kaapissa oli tuuletin, josta hiukan apua.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

This property doesnt have ac hnit which would make stay during summer time almost impossible. They gave us one fan which wasnt work properly. There a ton of other options with same price which are better . And best are also very uncomfrotable. Kind aruined our amaterdam experince. This looks more than a motel, hard to call this a hotel

Pros:

Ich hatte einen tollen Aufenthalt in Amsterdam. Das Personal im Hotel war sehr zuvorkommend und nett. Das Zimmer war sauber, die Größe absolut in Ordnung (man sieht vorab, welche Zimmergröße man bucht). Das Badezimmer ist recht klein, aber durchaus ausreichend.

Cons:

Leider gab es keinen Smart TV im Zimmer. Hier könnte man nachrüsten :)
Sollte man Netflix oder ähnliches nutzen wollen, empfiehlt es sich unbedingt, einen Laptop / Tablet mitzunehmen.

Coffee should be free
Pros:

It was within walking distance to stores, cafes and museums. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious. Nice neighborhood.

Cons:

They charged us 2.50 euros for our morning coffees. We stayed there 6 nights and we're only given 1 free coffee each. The owners are being petty and cheap. We were insulted about that. Get a less expensive coffee maker. Guests should receive 1 free morning coffee for each night they stay there.

Très basique, mais il paraît que tous les hôtels le sont dans cette ville. Pour moi ça ne vaut pas son prix
