Gorgeous hotel, perfect location with tram stops as close as a 3 minute walk away. We were here for a birthday celebration and the staff were kind enough to decorate the room with balloons and give us a drinks token which was such a lovely touch! Will definitely be returning!
Amazing location-great patio vibe fir drinks, breakfast is lovely and surrounding park is peaceful! The building has a lot of history and the rooms are well appointed. Great value and make sure to rent bikes!
Room was very clean, but our bed was on the mezzanine. This is normally not an issue, but I would like to warn older less mobile guests, that the staircase towards the bedroom is steep and small.
Bathroom was very modern and clean, but the toilet isn't separate.
Breakfast was very good.
The hotel is located on the edge of central Amsterdam but with a Tram stop across the road it made all site seeing and activities easily accessible. The room we stayed in was modern and well-kept and the laundry was changed daily.
Hotel is going through renovations and currently only one lift works. Given we were on the third floor it was rather inconvenient to get around the hotel.
The staff were lovely and very helpful for checking in and out.
The rooms are ok. Nothing special so would not book a delux next time as it was not what we expected to get.
Other than that it was a lovely place and very ideal spot
PSA. They only clean rooms every 3 days if you remember to put out the door sign

Spacious room. Friendly and helpful staff. Awesome park right at doorstep. Nice restaurants nearby about 5-10 mins walk. But metro station quite a distance (about 15 mins) especially with luggage.

The rooms ate a bit pricy for their size as they are significantly smaller than depicted on the website, and felt a bit crowded for two people given the bathrooms were built-in to the rooms after building construction. Our air conditioning was not working, however this seemed to be fixed by opening the window. The breakfast was lovely, and the location was very quaint. Yet facilities-wise this is a fine stay for a night or so, yet anything longer I would prefer a higher-end hotel
Love that this hotel had a park setting very quiet in a nice area little restaurants around that you could walk to for breakfast or dinner. The hotel restaurant was nice as well. They make a great limoncello spritz that we enjoyed would definitely recommend to stay here.
