Positive Reviews
positive:
Handy central location.
If reviewers were united on anything about this establishment, it was its location. Guests appreciated being across the road from Amsterdam Central Station for easy access to transport links. Also on the doorstep were theatres, dining options and shopping districts like Damrak. Some guests liked the views from their rooms across the canal to the grand station building. The hotel is only a few blocks from Amsterdam’s famous red light district and many of the city’s less racy nightlife options were also nearby. The location suited most visitors from those on budget short breaks to groups in town to sample the nightlife.
positive:
Friendly staff and clean rooms.
Most reviewers said they encountered friendly, helpful and efficient staff, although occasional critics disagreed. A majority of reviewers thought the rooms were adequately clean and tidy.
positive:
Positive about food.
Breakfast was popular with most guests, who described it as simple but plentiful. Those who dined in the hotel restaurant thought the food and service were generally good. Guests also said the bar was pleasant.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Noise disturbed light sleepers.
Certain rooms were reportedly exposed to noise from passing traffic and sometimes late-night revellers outside. The lack of air-conditioning prompted some visitors to open the windows in hot weather, which only made the noise worse.
negative:
Some criticism of rooms.
While some visitors thought the rooms were adequately comfortable and spacious, others criticized them for being small, irregularly shaped and sometimes for containing steps. Critics also claimed there were small en suite bathrooms, worn carpets and dated décor. Occasional reviews mentioned a smoky smell.
negative:
Patchy paid for Wi-Fi.
Being asked to pay for Wi-Fi access annoyed many reviewers, some of whom said the service was occasionally slow or unreliable.
