“In my opinion, this 2-star hotel provides a very convenient base for exploring Amsterdam, due to its proximity to tram lines. I noted the rooms are clean and the beds comfortable, plus the staff appears consistently helpful. For the price, it seems a practical choice, especially with complimentary hot drinks available.”

the staff was helpful with directions. the location was quite central, near many shops. i appreciated having coffee shops just steps away. we found many restaurants within a very short walking distance.
my room was in the basement, and it had a noticeable damp smell. i found it difficult to store my belongings in the closet due to this odor.
