Charming Stay in Central Location

helpful staffcanal tourquiet area
The receptionists were great, I found. They booked a canal tour that included unlimited wine and cheese. I also enjoyed a curated Spotify playlist while relaxing in the room. The location was perfect because it was quiet, yet close to the hustle and bustle.
The breakfast was very basic.

The hotel sits near the central station and central areas. I found it very easy to reach shops in seconds. It took roughly eight minutes to walk to Centraal Station, a great benefit for travellers.

mixed feelings about my stay

limited selectionsteep stairs
The breakfast proved quite disappointing. the selection was limited and items were not replenished quickly enough. also, i found the absence of a lift inconvenient, especially with the steep and narrow stairs. Managing luggage was difficult. assistance with carrying luggage beyond the first floor was not offered..

The hotel had an excellent location near the canal. The staff were quite helpful and friendly at all times. I found the beds to be comfortable and the hotel style was endearing.
My room lacked air conditioning. The room was also somewhat small for my liking. I noticed there wasn't elevator service which was inconvenient.
