Reviews
Our room was spacious and featured a large window with a great view. The bathroom was also impressively large, clean, and had excellent water pressure. We particularly loved the natural fragrance of the soaps provided. All the amenities were exactly as described, and the free laundry service worked perfectly for us.
The breakfast offered a varied and delicious menu. My mom even mentioned that the food was better here than at some of the higher-star hotels we’ve stayed at in the past.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its vibrant, youthful atmosphere. It was wonderful to meet young people from all over the world.
I will definitely stay here again the next time I visit Amsterdam!
Everything was clean and functioned. The shower was awesome and I feel like I need to come back just for that.
Location was good. No issues at all, it was great.
the staff was very kind and helpful.
