This hotel is not bad but doesn’t really live up to the hype. The room was so small that I couldn’t find any space on the floor to open my suitcase. There are large visible scuff marks and scratches along the walls and doors all over the property, which leaves the impression that the hotel has seen better days. The breakfast is pretty good but would benefit from more healthy or low-fat options. (The machine that squeezes fresh orange juice is pretty great though.) Pros: The pillow menu is a genuinely fantastic perk and the pillows are excellent. The beds are also quite comfortable (which is good since there’s not much room in the room for anything else.) The hotel had plenty of good qualities but not enough to make me want to stay there again.

My expectations were probably too high to begin with. The lady checking us in was very lovely. But I was hoping the all inclusive part would justify the price but found the cheese tray to be just that and the other offerings during the day limited in times on offer so you really needed to be quick if you want something. There are no signs or advice that you can't take a soft drink out of the building (but you can take them back to your room) I went to walk out with a soft drink and was called out to as I was at the door that this wasn't allowed, if I had known I wouldn't have grabbed one on my way out rather than being told at the exit and feeling like I was stealing. Breakfast was good, the lady cooking was lovely and made a great omelette. I would choose another hotel if I came back to Amsterdam. I feel the all inclusive wasn't inclusive enough to make it worthwhile for the extra cost than other hotels.

Excellent location, loved nearby Rembrandt square. The cheese trolley was very nice and loved drinks upon our return each evening. Enjoyed having water in mini bar in room. The staff were very nice especially the lady at breakfast! The breakfast buffet was very nice and pancakes delicious! I heard other guests being high maintenance with the front desk staff and they handled it professionally and politely. A/C in room was good and bathroom clean. We had a nice view of the canal but a bit of a sloped ceiling, not a big deal as neither of us were tall.

Honestly I have never had a better travel experience with a hotel. When you start here, you are family. Every person who works here is helpful, fun, kind and accommodating. Pre-trip communication with Cleo was informative and helpful. She offered wonderful suggestions and helped with any reservations I needed. Prior to arrival, I received an email requesting my pillow choice so that I could be as comfortable as possible. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast has many options and the gentleman making eggs is fabulous. He’s engaging, fun and cooks whatever you like to perfection. Susanna is your breakfast guide. She will give you Dutch lessons and even gave me a neck and shoulder massage my last morning. I want to return to Amsterdam just so I can stay here again. All of this and more for a very reasonable price.

This hotel would have gotten my 5⭐️ if it wasn’t for the terrible WiFi. Not only it’s slow. But censored. More like Afghanistan then Amsterdam .. I couldn’t believe it. They block websites the parent company deems inappropriate 😱 The saving grace of this hotel is the wonderful staff . All of them.

This is one of my favourite hotels ever. The staff is amazing, I love the 24hr drinks available, the location couldn’t be better. I have been here twice and plan to come again as I love Amsterdam but, this hotel makes the trip so much better!
Room view, 4 th floor. The blue awnings across the street…excellent food!
