delicious breakfast friendly staff awkward layout noisy room
the staff was friendly and helpful. the location was very good for exploring the parks, museums, and shops. the building is older, but it was very clean. the breakfast was delicious.
My room was a bit awkwardly laid out. The sink was in the room instead of in the shower and toilet area. the room was also quite noisy. I could hear the neighbors talking. luckily, i had earplugs with me.

a decent stay

friendly staff good breakfast convenient location cramped room outdated decor non-working socket
the location proved super convenient. it was near a lovely park, vondelpark. also, the staff were consistently friendly and helpful (i really appreciated their transit recommendations). the breakfast offered a good variety of options.
the room felt quite cramped, especially considering i paid extra. the decor seemed pretty worn and outdated too. also, the socket next to the bed didn't work (annoying when i needed to charge my phone).

friendly staff excellent location cheery atmosphere accessible transport
The staff were super friendly and helpful. the location was excellent for accessing activities. i loved the bright, cheery atmosphere. public transport and restaurants were easily accessible from the hotel. That was a big plus for me.
my room was a bit small. sitting on the toilet meant i was very close to the bathroom door. it wasn't a big deal, but it was noticeable.
