Reviews
I then went down the next morning to be given some more keys that worked, the room we were also given was a small room where there was an obstruction in the shower that was part of the building where we had to duck under to get to the shower.
I have tried to contact the hotel and customer services for 3 months now and have had no reply! Awful customer service!
Great location near the museum area and inner Amsterdam canals, yet really quiet too.
Breakfast was great value, good selection of hot and cold breakfast, pastries, fruit and fruit salad etc. The breakfast room was very well decorated and stylish. Rooms were ok, each enjoying a big picture window, ensuite and comfy beds,
Staff were very helpful and pleasant. All together a great stay.
Only downside is the shower room water tends to flow out.
It is TOTALLY unacceptable for the customers to change the blanket on their own when it was not even their fault, not to mention emailing a photo to the hotel to file a complaint.
The service was also poor, the receptionist was not friendly.
I would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone.
