This is an unusual but really lovely hotel , an amalgam of Amsterdam Canal houses, with a lovely garden at its heart. This latter is a special facility and most enjoyable on hot Amsterdam days when footpaths can get congested. BedRoom was snug but very comfortable and well equipped. Two people occupying it needed to consciously stay out of each other’s way. Staff were helpful and friendly. I have marked down on cleanliness because of a single incident - not the general run of cleanliness which is as you would expect in a well-run 5 star establishment. In the Garden, our enjoyment was upset by a teenager - accompanied by his father, both sitting opposite us. The teenager sat with the soles of his boots up on the cushion covers he was sitting on. This was without any consideration for who might sit there after him and what might have accumulated on those soles after walking around the city. The staff member who was taking their drinks order had the opportunity to instruct the teenager to remove his feet from the cushion. He did not. So I felt incumbent on me to do so. The father agreed with me but was otherwise obviously ineffectual. Management should instruct their staff to ensure that guests respect and don’t abuse the hotel amenities and show consideration for their fellow guests. Just basic good manners. Other than that, a lovely stay.
