Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located right on a lovely canal, offering an excellent view and easy access to the museum quarter. The rooms are comfortable and come with a bathroom, but the service was lacking as the receptionist wasn't helpful. The facilities were decent but could use some improvement.
The hotel is located in one of Amsterdam's busiest streets right in front of a lovely canal, offering a good view but with some room for improvements in service. The airport shuttle service is available for a fee.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right on the canal with lovely restaurants nearby. The rooms offer a charming view and come with all necessary amenities, plus the service was top-notch. However, the receptionist was not very helpful, which was a letdown. Overall, a great value for the money.
