Quiet location and comfy room
quiet area clean room helpful elevator
The hotel is in a quiet area near the city center, which i liked. Public transportation and restaurants are close. My room was very clean and fairly spacious. The elevator helped a lot with my luggage to the third floor where i was staying.
The hotel does not have air conditioning in the rooms. Even with the window open it was still pretty warm at night. This was in July.
Location
9/10
The hotel is located on a side street on the south side of the city centre. It is near restaurants and public transport, also within a short walk of the Rijksmuseum, so the area is also very quiet. The street is calm.
Rooms
8/10
The room had a coffee machine with hot water and paper cups. You could put food in the hotel fridge, and they did have a dining room you could use. Staff could reheat food for you if needed. That was nice.
