Its location makes cultural exploration easy, placing you near the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. I especially appreciate the commitment to creating a quieter atmosphere, which is a real find in a busy city.”

Quiet location and comfy room

quiet areaclean roommissing air conditioning
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 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.
