Pros:

Lo mejor el servicio de desayuno y snacks disponibles durante todo el día. Ubicación perfecta fuera de la zona más bohemia pero cercana si quieres salir en la noche. Paradero de tranvía a 100 metros y a 300 de Amsterdam Centraal donde pudimos salir a varios lugares fuera de la ciudad. El baño de la habitación tenía tina lo cual fue perfecto para nosotros que viajábamos con una niña de dos años. Ascensor con tamaño adecuado que es un lujo en Ámsterdam. Si volvemos a la ciudad alojaríamos aquí nuevamente sin dudarlo.

Cons:

Por decir algo las habitaciones eran algo pequeñas.

A bit disappointed considering the price we paid.
Pros:

It was handy to have a fridge in the room, and the complimentary bar and snacks were a bonus.
Hot breakfast was a surprise rather than the usual continental.

Cons:

General cleanliness needs improvement. There were swarms of small flies in reception/breakfast/snack area for the whole of our stay. When I mentioned this to one of the girls behind reception her response was “my manager already knows”. And that was it. Dishes/glasses weren’t picked up in good time either, and serving spoons were not changed regularly.
We stayed a week, and our sheets were not changed. Towels were, but they were very small.
Central location but that means noise till the early hours, and if you opened the window then the smell of cannabis permeated the room. (They provide er plugs as standard)

A convenient located hotel near train station and tram stop.
Pros:

Near to Central train station.
Free drinks and snacks throughout the day at the lobby area

Cons:

Room was tired looking and carpet was old and not clean. Phone and tv in the room not working. Tiles in bathroom were chipped off . For a 4 star hotel, didn’t provide body lotion and kettle in the room.
