    Quick trip

    Great location for a short stay. Close to the train station and central sites. Rooms were rather smallish but clean. 12.50€ per day for Internet in room, should be free

    eine wirklich gute wahl

    das hotel liegt sehr zentral und man kommt in der innenstadt überall bequem zu fuss hin...sehr zufrieden waren wir mir dem personal, super freundlich und bemüht...das einzige unangenehme war die parksituation...das hotel verfügt nicht über eine eigene garage...amsterdam ist verdammt teuer was das parkem angeht, im hotel hat man uns das angebot des smart parking gemacht, das hat uns 30,- pro tag gekostet...das nächste mal würde ich per zug anreisen :))

    Der Hammer :)

    Haaaaiii, also die Lage des Hotel was sowas von perfekt, direkt am Damplatz. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und das Personal sehr zuvorkommend. Nur etwas habe ich zu bemängeln...und zwar beim Doppelbett hatte es zwei Matratzen und ich bin immer in der Mitte hineingerutscht -.- :D aber ansonsten war es 1A. Ich würde es nächstes Mal wieder buchen.
