Very central and surprisingly quiet room.
But the room was tiny the pictures are misleading to show how tiny the room is. The bed had 2 single matts which kept sleeping and I kept ending up in the middle.

Then they demanded 50 euros extra for city tax which should be accounted in the price and additional approx 100 pounds for damage deposit? I still haven't received this back and again this demand should be declared.

In summary a very central but below average overpriced hotel.
3 stars maximum.

I stayed in room 102 for 4 nights. The bedding was clean thankfully but the floors weren't very clean. The first thing I noticed in the bathroom was a giant clump of hair sticking out the back of the hair dryer which was attached to the wall, absolutely disgusting. My safe didn't work and when the staff member checked it advised it would be fixed the next day, it wasn't. He also removed the clump of hair from the dryer and took pictures. I then noticed the light switches beside the bed at both sides didn't work or were hanging off. Theres also no outlets beside the bed which isnt ideal. The aircon switches off automatically when you open the door to the balcony but doesn't automatically come back on again when closed so if you get too hot on the balcony the room isn't cool for you to go in. The plus side is the location is great.

The location is very good for tourists because it is on a popular square with lots of restaurants, bars and some shops. We had a little but nice balcony over looking the large square. However the downsides were two things. First the room size was very small and we had to have turns maneuvering around the bed. Secondly the floor was dirty. Our socks and/or feet showed the dirt. Breakfast was very good and had a wide variety of choices.

My husband and I stayed for two nights. The staff during check-in and check-out were very polite and welcoming. The room was clean, although the chair had an unpleasant smell. The bathroom was also clean. However, there were no amenities provided apart from towels and an all-in-one shampoo/body wash.

The location was perfect — only a 10-minute walk to the main tourist areas, and the tram station was directly in front of the hotel.

Paying for location, not facilities

Pros -
Check in was friendly enough - I do note was convenient for arrival time after travel delays.

Grateful for English speaking.

Good location.

Safe door systems to stairs and lift use - good protection for anyone wandering in.

Cons -
Room size restrictive, one way system to pass another person.

Tea and coffee in room facility terrible - the only plug sockets available are on an adapter right beside the pillow. To boil the kettle, you have to set up on the floor next to the bed.
No milk, told there might be a fee for milk so didn't bother any further, saved me from making drinks on the floor anyway.

Odd bed lamp coming away from the headboard.

Drippy shower head (ie. Once off, it just kept dripping), low water pressure, bit of a cheap shower head.

Safe in the wardrobe needs replacing, the door needed to be lifted in a particular way to open again.

+ Woke up with someone else's long hair stuck to my face.

Average at best, definitely not a 4 star hotel as proclaimed online in places.

I asked for a refund because it wasnt useable but was refused and had to find another hotel at additional cost

This property is located in a very noisy(at night) square so keep that in mind before booking. Also not very clean. Terrible housekeeping. Floor was not cleaned during our stay. There was dust everywhere on the floor even when we first checked in the floor was dirty. Shower tap was broken which after reporting in the morning they came in the evening and fixed it. Property seem to be run down, old furniture and very dark breakfast area with very limited option for breakfast which didn’t look appetizing. If I go back I would choose a different hotel.

Supposedly this is a 4 star hotel. It felt like 2 stars at best. The room was small for European standards, there was no room between the bed and the desk and it was impossible to sit down at the desk chair. It was not possible to control the heating - we could set the temperature, but that temperature was not maintained, it continued to heat, so we had to turn the heating off at night because it was impossible to sleep because the room got too hot, but this meant the room was freezing when we woke up. There was no refridgerator in the room in a 4 star hotel!? The shower cubicle leaked water which meant the bathroom floor was flooded after every shower and we had to mop up the excess using towels. The bathroom sink tap was sensor-controlled which randomly stopped working and we had to wait 5 minutes for it to work again. The cleaners moved our clothes that we had left to dry in the room, which meant they hadn't dried properly when we got back to the hotel. The worst thing was the smell - the hotel reception, lift and stairs all stank of sewage/as if something had died, and sometimes this smell came into the room. There was an ice rink outside the hotel which played loud music from about 7pm to midnight (until 1 or 2am at weekends), this wouldn't have been an issue if the hotel had any kind of soundproofing. Our room windows were draughty and when the wind blew we could see the curtains move. The only recommendable thing about the hotel is the location.

Location is fantastic.
Right opposite the tram stop so easy to get the number 14 or 4 to the Central Train Station.
Everything is in walking distance and there are lots of places to eat and drink all around the square the hotel is on.

Very disappointed with the hotel. Small and cramped, nothing like the pictures make it out to be spacious etc. Windows are single glazed and can hear all the drunk noises and fighting outside. Bed are 2 single beds despite us asking for a double. Parking is the biggest nightmare, states on Expedia that there is valet parking but that is no such thing, info and prices are out dated on Expedia page. Even though there is a Q Park Bank a 2mins walk, driving there will take you nearly half hour due to the nightmare 1 way streets of Amsterdam, staff isn't helpful at the hotel on guiding you.

DO NOT STAY THERE, I promise you will regret it. First of all, I had a room that was booked based on the size and photos I chose, they gave me a room the size of a small washroom. My friend and I couldn’t walk in the room at the same time. Second, the water was not working in the room we told the reception and the guy came upstairs to check. He told us the guy on his way to fix it and nothing happened in 3 days we were there. We had to book another hotel (3 stars) which was bigger and better than what we booked. This hotel is defiantly a 1 or 2 star max not 4 as they claimed. I will contact expedia to escalate my situation. I asked to get the bigger room and they said we don’t have them available. However; moments after a couple walked in and booked a walk in bigger room on the spot. Trust me don’t stay there I promise you will regret it. Staff was the rudest they will not acknowledge your situation and your requests even though you are willing to pay

Lovely modern, spacious room with an extremely comfortable double bed on request and a delicious breakfast.

If you need help getting to the hotel for the first time, do not just get a cab like my partner did as it will cost you at least €37 which we had to pay when the taxi driver turned a 20 minute walk into a 25 minute drive!!

When I got there the room was not that big at all. And although we had a bay window facing Rembrandt square, the room itself was very underwhelming. We also arrived to find a twin setup rather than a double and had to wait for 30 mins for it to be switched around which was annoying.
