The location is very good. It is in the city center, but at the same time in the quite zone

Pessimo rapporto qualità prezzo
Pros:

La posizione. A circa 35 minuti dall'aeroporto e non distante dal centro.

Cons:

Pessimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Ho speso 611 euro per tre notti in una struttura che dovrebbe costare meno della metà. Ho fatto male a fidarmi di Booking e a non controllare meglio. La prossima volta consulterò altri siti

Everything was perfect
Pros:

I was a bit scared from the low ranking that the hotel had but I decided to book it anyway as we were a group of 8 people and it was the cheapest option. However everything went smoothly, the stuff was really nice, it was clean, the location was amazing and we had everything we needed. I highly recommended it!

Cons:

Nothing

Very nice hotel
Pros:

Comfy beds, clean room, great location near the Rijksmuseum.

Cons:

There’s lots of steep stairs and no lift. It’s fine if you’re fit and healthy but might be a problem for some if they’re on the upper of the five floors.
