Hidden gem”

It took an hour for me to locate this gem . Turns out the hotel is very close to the AMSCentraal and near a street with a variety of cafes and bars. Although it took a 5 steps of stairs to reach the front desk , my room was located on that floor with no more climbing required. Seems like in AMS, many hotels have steep steps to reach your room. The room had central air so was pleasantly cool on this warm day. I will definitely return to this hotel

This is definitly the best hotel I've booked for my Netherlands-Belgium trip! Staff very helpful and friendly, earlier check-in time when the hotel is not that busy, clean and bright room, well-equipped with a fabulous view of the canal and the church! Also I saw the staff do the disinfection work very carefully, which is very important during Corona and makes me feel assured. Last but not least, the price is very reasonable! All in all, I'm most satisfied with this hotel and cannot recommend it more!

A Nice Hotel”

My family and I stayed at this hotel in Amsterdam. The location was great and was near everything. No need to take a taxi from the airport as the train station...Central Amsterdam...is within walking distance. Lots of cafes, restaurants and stores within walking distance also. Patrons of the hotel get the included breakfast right next door at Molly Malone's which reopens later on and is a great place for drinks. The hotel was clean and you always see a staff member sweeping, dusting or doing general cleaning.

Largest room I booked in this Euro Trip”

After what we had the other night at Paris, these two rooms in Amsterdam were like gigantic. God bless us. Staff was great though we couldn’t borrow an adapter like in Milan. Location was good, ten minuets from the train station on foot. What surprised me was that we were actually in the vicinity of the red-light district. Doesn’t matter though. Blythe way, people in Amsterdam speak better English than in Milan or Paris or Frankfurt or my home city. (._.)

Good service, location & free wireless internet!

Although some may say otherwise, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel.first we had a big room but with no open windows.the next day we changed to a smaller room with open window.although not much can be said of the view,the bed was comfortable,the bathroom was nice.it can accommodate bigger-sized persons as compared to other hotels in Europe.Breakfast was included at the Irish Pub next to the hotel & it was satisfactory. Everything is just walking distance to the hotel.5mins walk to Amsterdam Central & trams,5-10minutes walk to Damrak & Dam Square (Madan Tussaud's) & the red light district & chinatown is nearby around 1-2 minutes walk.we had safe walks even at night. many restaurants nearby the hotel ranging from Asian (even Malaysian!) to european restaurants & pubs.shopping is also nearby. The only turn off is hot water is only available at your tap(ranging from very hot to very cold).

The rooms are small but clean. Nothing fancy, and wouldn’t want to spend the day in there, but the location is great! It’s in the red light district and close to everything. No noise from neighbours or street. The room had no window which can feel a bit claustrophobic but if you’re out and about in Amsterdam, it’s fine! The beds were comfy and the bathroom was clean. Was a perfect place to rest our heads at night, which is all we were looking for over 3 days.

the location and the simplicity

It took me quite a time to find the hotel since it is located near along the small alley yet it was the perfect location. It is close to the central station,and other nice spots in Amsterdam. The hotel was an OK hotel. I came there under a tight budget, so as expected, it will not be the best one. However, i can say that its worth my money. The hotel is between two pubs where you can have a drink and meet other people. Breakfast is served in one of the bars. It was a nice stay.
