The hotel has a great location near the main train station, making it perfect for exploring Amsterdam and beyond. However, the service was lacking in friendliness and preparation. The rooms were a bit small but clean, with daily fresh towels provided. The dining experience was average, offering a typical continental breakfast. Despite some drawbacks, the central location and proximity to transport options make it a decent choice for the price.

The hotel offers a unique experience, with rooms that feel more like Anne Frank's hiding place but suffer from heavy traffic wear. The service can be a hit or miss, with unhelpful and indifferent staff, although I found their attitude okay. The location is superb for exploring Amsterdam and beyond, standing out at the top. Dining is passable, with an average continental breakfast, and a price mismatch with the quality of the room. The facilities are basic but suitable for a short stay.

My stay at the hotel was quite a mixed experience. While the rooms were clean and the beds comfortable, the layout made it a bit cramped, almost like a standard Norwegian single person prison cell. The service provided was friendly but could be more attentive, and the location was perfect for exploring the city, though a bit too close to some noisy areas. The dining options were average and lacked variety. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel's location right in the city center is a huge plus, but the rooms were not clean and lacked a heater, making it extremely cold. The service was friendly but somewhat prioritized cafe patrons over hotel guests. The dining experience had some drawbacks, like being charged for a larger room and ending up with a very small one. The facilities were not ideal, with issues like drafts in the rooms.

The hotel's rooms may seem larger in pictures, and it's awesome that they all have bathrooms. However, cleanliness was a major issue during my stay, which was disappointing. The location is excellent for exploring Amsterdam, being right near the main train station, but the presence of sketchy individuals made me feel unsafe at times.
