Definitely buy the city card at the airport that covers all forms of transport in city (except for airport ride) and includes access to museums. We did a 48 hour combo card - and got well over its worth in museums and tram rides.

Claustrophobia in Amsterdam

The location is on a tram line and is about 1 mile from the train station. We booked the hotel for one night before leaving on a river cruise. The room was very tight, even by European standards. You could actually rest your head on the wall in front of you while sitting on the commode.

Good enough

I've stayed in Amsterdam several times. This place is just a standard 2 star with small bathrooms and small rooms. A good value if you are traveling alone in the Dam and just need a room you wont be in very much.Beds are fine.100% non smoking.Use Tram 9.

Family trip - not really a family friendly hotel

Only good thing was location. Quiet but central. Hotel rooms small and dust present and dirty carpets. No room service for a room worth £170 per night Too expensive for no significant service Reception small and not comfortable. Reception team overall satisfactory - got phone charger when did not have working adaptor. We went as two families together and rooms given to us on different floors and reception manager claiming he did not know that we were together!! Airport transfer £14 per person! Overall I will only recommend if you get room at £120 or less and only want good location. Also very nice coffee shop just next to hotel. Definitely highlight of the trip was breakfast and coffee in the coffe shop.

Lo mejor del hotel es su ubicación:

Lo mejor del hotel es su ubicación: muy cerca del centro y bien comunicado con los tranvías. Además es una zona muy tranquila y agradable. Las habitaciiones son muy pequeñas, los cuartos de baño minúsculos, pero en general es suficientemente confortable. La parte positiva es que es posible prepararse un té o café instantáneo. Por lo demás, es todo correcto.

Très bon hotel !

Chambre propre et de très bon goût. Les lits sont confortables et on y dort vraiment très bien! Bien placé, et desservi pas le tram. Petit déjeuner copieux seul bémol le premier jours à 10€ et les autres jours à 15€ par personnes. Je vous conseille vraiment cet hôtel !

Großartige Lage

Das Zimmer war für 2 Personen genau richtig, etwas unangenehm war die Tatsache, dass es kein Doppelbett gab sondern zwei zusammengeschobene Einzelbetten ansonsten war die Lage perfekt und im Großem und Ganzen ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt ich würde wieder in diesem Hotel einchecken!

Ganz OK

Mit der Lage waren wir sehr zufrieden, schnelle Straßenbahnanbindung zu allen wichtigen Orten. Wir hatten Zimmer Nr. 410 (4. Stock mit Lift) mit Aussicht auf einen kleinen Park. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig, man hört die direkten Nachbarn sprechen und die Zimmertüren schließen sehr laut. Außerdem gibts einen kleinen Spalt rund um die Tür, durch den Licht und Lärm vom Gang ins Zimmer kommt. Die Straßenbahn, die vor dem Hotel vorbei fährt, hört man natürlich auch. In der Nacht ist es aber ruhig, wir haben gut geschlafen. Das Zimmer war sehr eng, aber für 4 Nächte ausreichend. Das Bad war auch winzig, aber es war alles vorhanden, was man braucht. Vor allem war das Bad immer sehr sauber und wir bekamen jeden Tag frische Handtücher. Die Betten waren 2 zusammengeschobene Einzelbetten mit Federkernmatratzen (leider spürbar). Waren aber trotzdem bequem und sauber. Die Fenster sind nur kippbar, da wir aber im März gereist sind und es nicht allzu warm war, war das kein Problem. Ein kleiner Mangel war der Teppich, er gehört dringend erneuert (sehr ausgetreten) und öfter gestaubsaugt. Sehr gut gefallen hat mir die kleine Teeküche mit Wasserkocher. Das Frühstück haben wir nicht genutzt, es gibt eine gute Auswahl an Frühstückslokalen direkt beim Hotel. Weil wir keine Kreditkarte mit hatten, mussten wir beim einchecken 50€ hinterlegen, und am letzten Tag mussten wir noch eine Steuer bezahlen, die ca. 10€ ausmachte. Alles in allem waren wir zufrieden, das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis passt, und wir würden wieder kommen.
