Perfecte uitvalsbasis in het centrum
Pros:

Locatie perfect en vriendelijk personeel.
Vlakbij Leidseplein, 3 minuten afstand tot tramhalte. Perfecte uitvalsbasis voor een nachtje Amsterdam. Vlakbij Vondelpark en museum buurt. Interieur is modern en minimalistisch. Ow ja: perfecte bedden.

Cons:

Vloerbedekking verdiend een reiniging.
Small room is ook echt klein, maar dat was heel goed aangekondigd door booking en het Hotel zelf.

היה סהכ הכל נחמד, למעט הדברים הקטנים שגרמו לנו להרגיש שהמחיר היה גבוה מדי
Pros:

המיקום נמצא באיזור שקט ונוח, היה נקי, יש רמקול בחדר, מגבות נעימות הוחלפו כל יום, יש שמפו, קרם גוף בשפע, מצעים נעימים ומיטה נוחה

Cons:

לא היה לנו חלון לרחוב בחדר, החלון היה למסדרון פנימי של המלון ככה שלא באמת יכולנו לפתוח את הוילון כי לא הרגשנו בנוח.
אין מקרר בחדר, אין מים בחינם במלון והמים לקנייה יקרים יחסית. רק בסוף הבנו שאולי כן יש תה ומים בחינם אבל אף אחד לא הסביר לנו את זה, כשביקשנו אמרו לנו שהאופציה היחידה זה לקנות.
בנוסף מייבש שיער שלי לא התאים לשקעים וביקשנו מתאם תמורת פיקדון ואמרו שיש רק לקנות ב15 יורו. שזה בעיני מחיר הזוי.

Pros:

La struttura è moderna, pulita e in un’ottima posizione per raggiungere il centro e la zona dei musei. Abbiamo apprezzato la possibilità di lasciare i bagagli in struttura gratuitamente dopo il check-out e l’assenza di scale molto ripide, non scontata ad Amsterdam.

Cons:

La camera e il bagno sono un pò piccoli e manca il posto dove poggiare i bagagli, se non a terra limitando il passaggio.

Cons:

La moquette sul pavimento è vecchia e macchiata sia nei corridoi che nella camera. Ero al piano inferiore e lasciavano nel corridoio ogni giorno tutti gli attrezzi per le pulizie (aspirapolveri, carrelli, etc etc) e dava l’idea di disordine e sicuramente non di un ambiente accogliente.
