Room in a four stars hotel
Pros:

This was a hotel, so no studio or room in an apartment. The staff was polite and ready to help. The room was spacious enough, also the bathroom. Was close to historic city center (canals, castel etc). It was a quiet zone (and we slept with the windows opened - don't worry they had very good AC).

Cons:

Maybe a coffe maker would have bine nicer than instant coffe.

Great and central hotel
Pros:

Good size and comfortable room. Centrally located and easy walk to the main squares, attractions, bars and restaurants. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.

Cons:

Connecting public transportation with the hotel and the main train station is a bit of a hassle so consider a taxi.

Cons:

We sliepen aan de straat kant en daar was er snachts veel lawaai van jongeren die rondhingen in de steeg. Hierdoor heb ik bijna niet kunnen slapen.
