The hotel is situated in a nice and peaceful location, not too crowded, amidst local businesses, with good proximity to Amsterdam Centraal and the main town. While the rooms were small, they were bigger than many other properties in old buildings in Amsterdam central. The service was friendly and apologetic for minor inconveniences. The dining experience was slow and could have been better due to some issues with service. Overall, a convenient and relatively quiet hotel.

7.2/10

The place is more of a spot for a quick stay as a solo traveler, not really up to full hotel standards but decent for a short stopover. The rooms were adequate in size but need improvement in cleanliness and safety measures, giving more of a hostel vibe than a hotel. The service was exceptionally friendly and willing to assist with any issues. The location is great for exploring on foot with various dining options nearby, but it can get noisy due to nearby restaurants. Dining was a separate cost but offered decent options, while facilities are basic but practical.
