  • Overall: Rating of 3.7 out of 5

    "This hotel appeared in advance to be somewhat remotely located, but it became obvious that the location was really quite good overall, because it is quiet, safe, close to good restaurant clusters and commercial areas (including the market), very near to key tram lines, and close to the museums." source Venere

    "I recommend for someone who never been to Amsterdam to buy I amsterdamn card and u can save much as u can in transportation most of Museum will be free and 25% discount with your card including free ticket for Canal cruise as well." source Venere

    "Friendly staff and nice breakfast." source Venere

  • Location: Rating of 3.9 out of 5

    "The Hotel was perfect as far as location was concerned, and the staff were excellent, the breakfast was fine BUT the room was totally different to the picture - a double bed squeezed length wise into the room with not even a cm on either side and to open the window you had to climb onto the bed." source Venere

    "location great- walking distance from some places & easy tram ride to others (never had to wait more then 5 mins for tram." source Venere

    "The location is perfect - within walking distance from museums, arkeds, shopping and nightlife." source Venere

    "The quiet residential neighborhood was a blessing, and I slept quite well." source Venere

    "Fantastic location, easy to walk to best places." source Venere

  • Value

    "I imagine that each room is different, but the price of our room, without shower facilities, was excessive compared to its size (the smallest one)." source Venere

    "I think hotel quality is not match the price,but the quality in amsterdam is better." source Venere

    "Stayed in single room; very good value for solo traveller." source Venere

    "Great value for the price." source Venere

    "Great hotel for it's price." source Venere

  • Room: Rating of 2.8 out of 5

    "We booked two rooms for four adults and were told when we got there that they had the booking as 2 single rooms so we ended up paying more than half again as much to get the rooms we thought we had booked in the first place." source Venere

    "Room was bigger and had a shower + toilet even though we had booked a standard room, so that was a nice surprise." source Venere
