We were happy with the hotel overall. Receptionists were very friendly and helpful as it was our first time in Amsterdam.

The room was quite outdated and the bathroom needed renovating but didn’t make a big difference to our stay.

Location was perfect as it was right next to Dan Square.

We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment on that but the restaurant looked lovely.

Overall, I would stay again.

As others have said, this hotel is located in an excellent, central location. While this means that you are a 10-minute walk to the train station and all restaurants and shops are within a stone's throw, it also means that you are staying on the most crowded, busiest, and loudest street in the city. So if you're looking for a quaint place to stay, this isn't it! However, once in the room, we couldn't hear the street at all (we were in the back of the hotel, also looking out on a busy walking street). We could easily relax in the room and feel removed from the hustle and bustle. We also loved how large our room was. We had a superior double room, and we had so much space. The bathroom was spacious, and it was a great room for two people. Housekeeping does an excellent job every single day. Our room was always cleaned meticulously. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant as there were so many other options close by. For future visits, I would definitely consider staying here again. I loved having so many cafes and shops close by, but I was not a fan of the crazy street scene outside the hotel, so that would be the only reason I may consider a different hotel. That being said, everything within the hotel's control was fabulous, and I would highly recommend it.

The central location of the hotel is incredible - 10 walk to the train station and most tourist attractions. The room itself was rather small. When we arrived there was hair on the walls and floor of the bathroom - which was properly cleaned after I complained. The walls are pretty thin, while we didn’t hear the outside much, you could hear neighboring hotel guests very loudly, if they were chatting or having a shower. Something to consider if you’re a light sleeper. Breakfast was good, nice selection, expensive but seems to be en par with the rest of the city.

We had superior room on the second floor exactly as on the picture. Good size, clean, renovated, air-cond, coffee machine, fridge in the room, comfortable bed. For that big room I can say is a lacks of furniture. Looks empty. No shelf, nowhere to put your stuff, no where to hung up the coats, very small wardrobe. The same for the bathroom. The door is not not well sealed and the light and noise from hallway seep inside.
Central location just steps off Dam square, walking distance of Central Station and sightseeing. Have a free luggage lockers. Good hot and cold breakfast, variety of food.

The hotel is located beside the Dam Square tram stop which 750m from Central Railway station. You have the choice of walking or catching the tram from the railway. The pavement is smooth on Damrak which is the main street to the hotel. The hotel is clean, quiet and comfortable with a nice brasserie on the ground floor. The air conditioning was appreciated with the hot weather.Staff are helpful and polite The only suggestion is that they could increase the hotel signage at eye level. It can be difficult to locate the hotel entrance in the heavy Amsterdam crowds.

The hotel is in a great location, however the hotel is very average at best.
We booked a superior deluxe room for 3 nights and there was nothing deluxe about it.
We checked in late of an evening so was tired and went straight to the room and bed. The room was on the 5th floor which was the atic with sloping roof trusses an very small. The following morning I went to reception to ask if I was in the correct room as it was clean but basic at best and they said I was. I asked if it was possible to upgrade to a better room and they said they were all the same apart from the rooms below being 4m2 bigger.
After this conversation I thought we were paying for the location and sometimes rooms in the cities can be on the small side.
Later that day my relatives checked into the hotel and both there rooms were over twice the side to our come with duel aspect windows and the type of room we were expecting.
At this stage now was annoyed as the staff told me and my wife a complete pack of lies and just couldn’t be bothered to move us into another room.
After me complaining on trip advisor a member of staff moved us for the last night to a better room.
My advice is there are better hotel la to stay at for your money.

Nice hotel for short stay

The hotel is good condition, suitable for both summer and winter stay. Perfect location for tourists like us. Accessible to all restaurants and stations (train, tram, metro & busses). It would have been perfect apart from 1 incident that we feel belittled by one of hotel staff. Her condescending tone sought to infantilise us when asking for some help and yet she reversed the situation that we are the one who is disrespectful and raising our voice on her. I didn’t raise a complaint to manager as we don’t want to ruin our day.
Another issue that we want to point out are the beds. The beds are single that been put together to make it a double/king size bed, its not a problem if they can put something to keep it tie in together.

Great hotel, but description of rooms misleading

The hotel and room was lovely, modern “, spacious and clean. The staff were helpful and the location was perfect.
We had a superior room with “city view”. To call a view of another building, and rooftops with scaffolding a city view is wrong, so I would suggest the description of some rooms are amended.
The photographs of said rooms are misleading as it made me think that I would be at the front of the hotel, with a balcony. We were actually at the side of the hotel, with no balcony.
We weren’t at the hotel much, so it didn’t spoil it, but I did feel slightly disappointed as I was excited for a nice view.
When I called reception, the lady apologised and said there was nothing she could do as the other rooms were fully booked.

Unfortunately, my stay was quite noisy. Construction outside the window began as early as 7 AM, and the walls seemed quite thin—you could hear neighboring doors opening and closing, phone alarms from adjacent rooms, and other sounds throughout the night.

Hotel mornings was the worst!!!

The hotel itself was very nice, and the staff were helpful throughout our stay. However, I’m giving a lower rating because our experience was significantly impacted by early morning construction noise. Out of the three days we stayed, two were disrupted by loud construction starting as early as 7:00 AM. I raised the issue with the manager, but was told there was nothing they could do. Even starting at 10:00 AM would have allowed us a few extra hours of much-needed rest.

This trip was meant to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and unfortunately, being woken up so early each morning really took away from the experience. To make matters worse, we had traveled from New York and were already dealing with a six-hour time difference. It just wasn’t the relaxing getaway we had hoped for.
