Very Good

The hotel is as expected, basic and simple. Selling point is of course the location, which was excellent.
Stay was mostly fine, the only complaint is that the bedding smelled funky and wasn't as clean as one would expect. No matter how budget friendly, this is not it!
Other than that, the staff were friendly and helpful.
Great spot and excellent location. Clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would recommend to friends looking for a budget friendly and convenient overnight in Amsterdam.
Super friendly receptionist made me feel right at home, offered me an early check-in plus a room upgrade - really unexpected but such a kind gesture. Super clean room, decent Nespresso coffee machine in the room, great shower - and most importantly - a great location.
Had a lovely time there and the staff were very welcoming and the location was amazing, will definitely be our first choice hotel if we come back to Amsterdam
Thankyou
The hotel is in a great location and clean. The staff was friendly and had a very easy check in process. It’s in a busy/central area so some outside noise as expected. In general a great stay for the value.
The rooms are newly renovated and it’s great. The staff are very friendly and delightful. The location is the best location. The only issue is the stairs and that’s pretty standard in Amsterdam I guess.
