Pros:

Ήταν σε καλή τοποθεσία, κεντρικό

Cons:

Το δωμάτιο ήταν απελπιστικά μικρό ούτε παιδάκι δεν θα χώρας, όχι 2 άτομα ενήλικα. Δεν υπήρχε ντουλάπα, μόνο 2 κρεμαστές. Πουθενά χωρος να ακουμπήσεις τίποτα. Απελπιστικά μικρό και το μπανιο

Pros:

O Hotel é relativamente perto do centro e você também pode ter acesso ao transporte facilmente. E em relação ao custo benefício acho que vale a pena.

Cons:

Nós ficamos no 3° andar e realmente as escadas são muito cansativas. A acústica do quarto também não é muito boa, então se escuta o falatório das pessoas do lado de fora.

Schöne Tage in Amsterdam, einer wirklich tollen Stadt
Pros:

das Personal war sehr liebenswürdig und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist optimal. Das Hotel insgesamt ist funktionell, aber ohne jeglichen Komfort. Morgens wurde u.a. Kaffe angeboten (dennn es gibt ja sonst kein Frühstück), darüber haben wir uns gefreut

Cons:

Die Treppe zum Zimmer (wir waren im 2.OG) ist extrem steil und schmal, das auch noch mit Gepäck ist fast lebensgefährlich, Darauf wäre ein Hinweis hilfreich. Reinigung des Zimmers täglich nur auf Anforderung. Zimmerpreis m.E. überhöht.

Muito bom.
Pros:

Gostei do atendimento, principalmente do Daniel, que foi muito atencioso, simpático e solícito. Superou minhas expectativas. Na recepção do hotel possui forno microondas, máquina de café, sanduicheira, utensílios de cosinha. A localização é execente. Muito próximo a mercado e aos principais museus. Fizemos tudo à pé.

Cons:

Não gostei da escada. Muito íngrime e estreita. Não possui elevador. Mas o funcionário ajuda a subir as malas.
