In the heart of old Amsterdam! Very clean hotel. We had breakfast included and the breakfast was excellent. The breakfast room was kept immaculately clean. Staff were all very friendly. Easy to walk to many major attractions in the city and close to the Amsterdam Centraal railway station.

Everything went well, and was as we expected it to be. Great location, a smallish room, but in hotels of this vintage that’s what to expect. The fact that there was an elevator was important. The breakfast was above average. We had our window open the whole time to keep the room temp down I believe there is no AC which could be an issue for some in the summer months.

For the price range it was perfect! The room was CLEAN! Any reviews that say otherwise don’t understand that in some areas water dries leaving a whitish residue after cleaning. It was close to everything we wanted to see and the breakfast was amazing in a beautiful room. Not easily accessible by wheelchair.
