Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of beautiful Amsterdam, close to all tourist attractions. The rooms are spacious, featuring a jacuzzi and a Juliet balcony, with luxurious fabrics for a touch of elegance. While the price is a bit high, the value for money is reasonable considering the amenities.
The hotel offers cleverly furnished rooms with amazing views of the channel and comfortable beds. The service needs improvement, particularly in customer service aspects. The location is superb, right in the center and close to all tourist attractions. The dining options are limited but the regional bread is a nice touch.
The hotel has its pros and cons. The location is convenient, nestled along the Singel in a serene part of town within the charming '9 streets' area. The rooms vary from offering a small balcony with a view over the rooftops to having a jacuzzi, but some are quite cramped like a tiny closet. Service experiences were mixed; while efforts were made to compensate for poor management at times, other instances left much to be desired. Dining options differed from no inclusions to just a provision of fresh fruit, and the iconic sandwiches were a hit or miss. Overall, the stay had its highlights and low points.
The hotel is located in a beautiful area close to the main square, offering cleverly furnished rooms with lovely views and complimentary hot drinks. The service could benefit from additional training in customer care, particularly from a specific staff member who was not helpful despite the intervention of the Manager. The dining options were limited but included fresh fruit. The facilities are adequate, although improvements in service are needed for a more fulfilling stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had fine amenities and a gorgeous view, but the bathroom was badly designed. On the bright side, there was a jet Jacuzzi tub and snacks available 24 hours, which was a nice touch.
