The hotel location was outstanding, close to everything we wanted to see and do in Amsterdam. The rooms were smaller, making movement difficult, and some were run down and old with mold on the shower curtain. The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining experience was quite adequate and European in style. The location was very peaceful but within a few minutes' walk to major attractions and transportation links.

The rooms are clean and comfortable, providing a cozy atmosphere, though a bit tight with limited space around the bed.

The hotel has a full-length frosted glass window leading to the hotel garden, which made me a bit conscious using it. It could be a bit fancier considering the price. However, the rooms were in the basement, making it a bit uncomfortable and would've been claustrophobic for a longer stay.

The service needs to be more polite, as the staff was constantly sarcastic towards me and other females. However, they were very helpful with tourism booking, printing documents, and general questions. The staff's attitude significantly improved when we had to book an extra night due to a train strike.
