Hotel simple et sympa bien situé.
Pros:

L emplacement est idéal, la literie est nickel ainsi que la salle de bain.

Cons:

Il n y a pas de clim nous avons eu trop chaud dans la chambre, oui il y a un ventilateur encore heureux mais il fait énormément de bruit donc pas idéal. Seul petit bémol

Quirky city spot worth a visit
Pros:

I was lucky enough to be in Amsterdam on two of the hottest days of the year, so to be on top of a park and next to a open water swimming spot is amazing. The hotel is quirky, not modern furnishings, but comfy, clean and friendly. The room was quite small but had everything I needed for a city stay

Cons:

It was a bit noisy. The bar downstairs has lots of outdoor seating and as it's a micro brewery, attracts many young revelers, that added to the weather made people go a bit nuts, but hey, I still slept well. No Aircon which I don't mind, but it's due to the age and status of the building, there was a fan though, carpet in a room freaks me out a bit, but it was clean.

Pros:

Requested a view and had a corner room,2 big windows looking out to a great picturesque scene. 👍. Staff was very helpful, one bar manager was a little snottie, but it was busy 🤔 Perfect location to walk right into the city center. Great history of hotel as well. All in all, very good stay.

Good location, very kind staff and quite expensive even in comparison to hotels in Basel Switzerland.
Pros:

Location and being at a pretty nice pond near the Maritime Museum.

Cons:

The size of the room was not the same as it was shown when I selected the room. The furniture was so old that you would think the World War Two has not ended yet. It reminded me of middle class USSR guesthouses. The lift was too slow and made frightening noises climbing on reaching every floor.

Genoten van wat nachtrust, maar kòn zèker beter!
Pros:

Het concept is schitterend

Cons:

De ligging van mijn kamer.
Op de 3de verdieping maar helaas net boven de ingang van het hotel. 's Nachts heelwat lawaai van aankomende logees, praten, lachen, luid zijn ....
Het dichtslaan van de deuren op de gang zijn ook erg storend

Koffie en ontbijt
Pros:

Het personeel aan de balie is TOP.
Helaas in de verbruikersruimte gaat het niet echt vlot

Cons:

De jonge dame was niet op de hoogte van het aanbod. Begreep niet wat wij vroegen. Moest steeds hulp halen.
De 2de persoon was té bruut en jammer, maar haar voorkomen is niet echt smakelijk. Té.
Wij bestelden ook fruitsalade maar die is er niet gekomen.
Geen idee of dit dan op de rekening stond die ik betaalde voor ons 3
