Reviews
The sound proof is very bad. I can even hear my “neighbour” chatting in the middle of the night. And whenever they open or close the door, my wall can shake. 😂
But overall stay is 👍👍👍👍
The room was large especially in Amsterdam terms, we had a room right beside the lift but in all honesty we never heard it and in fact the room was extremely well sound proofed as there were no issues with banging doors or anything like that - the shower was probably one of the best I have ever had in a hotel.
The room had all the utilities you would need including fridge and coffee maker along with hairdryer and safe.
Breakfast was ok usual fare scrambled eggs and bacon and your usual continental type.
Only downsides really were that the bed was pretty uncomfortable and the room was slightly too warm for us although we do like a cold room at night.
Affordable price, new facilities
There is water and a wardrobe. The room for one person is not big but enough. The bed is for one person. You can consider it when traveling alone.
