This is a very charming and historic building which I happen to love. The modern decor is a wonderful complement to the old features. The staff was great -. Esp Melanie who did dinner reservations for me, booked taxis, and even made a to go breakfast bag for me when I had to leave very early for the airport. I had a room facing the garden and you can hear church bells — it didn’t bother me but some people may not like. Easy walking to most of the major tourist spots. Would definitely recommend.

Overall, this was a good location for a few days in Amsterdam. We found the staff friendly, and the property clean. It is an old house, and the stairs to the rooms are narrow, so this is not a place for anyone with mobility issues (of any kind) or those that find using stairs (of any kind) difficult.

The staff here was absolutely wonderful! When I arrived at 9am from a different hotel, my room was ready! I stayed close to the center because I came for the weekend to celebrate Kingsday. The location was so close to everything and was even near two of my favorite restaurants! It is a 5 minute walk to the Anne Frank House too. I would highly recommend this hotel and will most likely stay here next time I come to Amsterdam.
