Definitivamente volveré.
Pros:

El personal fue demasiado amable, la ubicación es PERFECTA, tienes la estación de metro y el Museumsplein a un paso.
La recepción ofrece té gratis, café por 1euro, (aunque una vez me lo dieron gratis)
Veo que hay gente quejándose de las escaleras, pero ES AMSTERDAM. ¡Solo el Rijksmuseum tiene escaleras normales! Simplemente asegúrense de que si llevan maletas muy grandes será difícil subirlas y bajarlas por las escaleras ¡pero no duden en pedir ayuda al personal!

Cons:

Las habitaciones son pequeñas, pero viajando solo no ha sido un inconveniente.
El precio es algo elevado, sí. A lo mejor planeo otra visita que no sea en temporada alta.

Pros:

Posizione molto vicino al centro ma appena fuori quindi non caotica, vicinanza alla metro e a un supermencato

Cons:

La doccia del bagno ha la tenda e la finestra della camera non si può apprire completamente, c'era poco ricircolo d'aria

Escaleras y habitación con falta de darle una renovación. Coincidí con ola de calor y eché de menos aire acondicionado y mini nevera en la habitación.

Muy buena opcion relacion ubicacion-precio
Pros:

La ubicacion yo creo que no pudo haber sido mejor, estaba muy bien conectado con las lineas de transporte publico y muchos lugares cerca a los que puedes llegar caminando.

Cons:

Al menos el cuarto que nosotros reservamos era mas pequeño de lo que esperabamos, lo que no nos gustó fue que las escaleras eran demasiado pequeñas e inclinadas haciendolo muy peligroso subir y bajar especialmente con maletas.

Just what I needed for a short stay at a good price
Pros:

The hotel was in a good location, easy to come and go as needed, and within walking distance to where I was spending time. Good access to public transport. The reception and housekeeping staff were friendly and helpful when I had questions. The reception area was comfortable for sitting in. Convenient vending machine in the hallway and helpful literature / city maps available too. The room had everything I needed, including a comfortable bed, bedside lamp, and thin curtains to keep bright sunlight out without darkening the room. Shower / ensuite were comfortable and easy to use. Seamless process to check in and out.
