Would not come back.
Pros:

Hotel location

Cons:

Got threatened by a delivery driver outside the hotel with a knife - because I refused to give him a cigarette. Reported to receptionist, because the cctv was right above it all outside the hotel. Minimal help. Not fussed about the safety of their residents. Delivery driver just delivered food to their hotel too. Dodgy place. Dodgy staff. If you value your safety, don’t use this hotel. I have spent years travelling the Netherlands, and I have never had this happen before.

Sehr schöne Gegend, gute Lage Vondelpark ganz in der Nähe, Zentrum und Jordaan Viertel zu Fuß erreichbar. Sauberes Zimme
Pros:

Sehr sauber, sehr bequemes Bett und angenehmes Zimmer.

Cons:

Unser Zimmer im Erdgeschoss war leider sehr dunkel, es kam kaum Licht rein. Durch die insgesamt dunkle Einrichtung des Hotels wirkte die Atmosphäre etwas trist.

Ubicación perfecta
Pros:

La ubicación nos gustó mucho. Muy bien comunicado con tranvías y autobuses aunque se podía ir andando a cualquier sitio. Cerca del centro y con restaurantes y supermercados cerca.
El personal del hotel muy amable. Alejandra nos explicó muy bien todo lo que podíamos hacer en la ciudad.
Las camas muy cómodas y todo muy limpio.

Cons:

La habitación no contaba con un armario para poder dejar ropa. Y tampoco había sitio para dejar la maleta abierta.
